Repeat after me: “Peter Sagan”

If you follow bike racing, you will be hearing this name a lot more in the future. This kid (20 years old) has whatever it is that makes riders great.
In today’s stage of Paris-Nice, I watched him jump off the front of a group of about 25 riders…which was all that was left of the peloton after Liquigas set a ferocious pace…about 2k from the finish line. That is hard to do.
The announcers were all wondering what the Liquigas guys were doing (so was I). We all know now. They were setting it up for their teammate, this awesome kid from Slovakia.
