Don't ride triples, win triples.
Peter Sagan has undergone quite the transformation over the years; starting as a brash and disrespectful neo-pro, he’s blossomed into one of the most exciting and charismatic racers in the bunch. A sort of modern-day Mario Cipollini.
And, as much as I dislike seeing riders dominate and take the excitement out of the sport, I love watching Peter race and I expect that if he manages to pull off his third straight worlds title, it was be a spectacular feat. Besides, he looks great in his black bibs with the bands, and I’ve gotten quite used to seeing him in those colors, so I don’t want to have to adjust to seeing another rider in them.
And, everybody knows you don’t ride triples; win triples.
Check the start list and good luck!

I remember reading some talk of the GC riders thinking this could be a WC for them. Froome, for example.
@RobSandy
he's the stongest cyclist of this generation. as Eddy Merckx famously said regarding MSR, "it is only the very strongest riders that will be able to contest the longer races." Sagan has more gas in the tank at the end of these types of contests.

A lot of the time steephill.tv will have a highlight video that is sans commentary. Always worth a look IMHO.
@wiscot
That is great to know, thanks!

They are usually listed as "Ambient".
@TurboJoe
You nailed it!
If I had made a VSP entry, it would've been for Sagan to win. After that, I didn't really care. After the stupid UCI/TdF decision to eject him from the Tour deBacle, he gets the last laugh by winning the Worlds and putting himself in the record books as the only three-peat winner. For him, the curse of the rainbow jersey is that he can't get it off his back.
@chuckp
totally on point! he's really a special rider. good that he's achieved preeminence now that Cancellara and Boonen have retired.
THIS is the way to approach life! Birmingham UK, Birmingham AL.. what's the difference!?

I agree, I'd have done the same ................................... if I'd have had the money so to do, that is!
