What makes a time trial specialist?

What makes a good time trialist other than just being a strong rider? The difference between sprinters and climbers is easy to quantify, but I just don't understand why some riders can be average overall, but elite time trialists. For a pro example, why is Peter Sagan not one of the very best in TT? He definitely has the power needed, and he is among the very strongest riders...what holds him back? Just a lack of training for TT in particular? Can he not handle threshold as well as the TT specialists?
