“Better not to think about my green jersey rivals,” Sagan explained. “Day by day, I don’t know. I try to do my best and then try to manage to make some gap between Viviani and me, and Matthews/Van Aert. We only did four stages – one a team time trial – and we still have a lot of work to do. Just like every year. Some day could be bad luck, some day you can take more points and they less.”
Our Škoda ambassador at the Tour de France, Andy Schleck, had this to say of Sagan’s chances: “Basically, I think he’ll probably win again because he’s good and he knows where to rack up points. He collects the most points at the “Škoda sprints” so he focuses on them.”
Do you agree with him? Will Sagan win a record-breaking seventh Green Jersey? Let us know your opinion!
