Incidentally, has anyone heard the tossy pronunciations of his name by commentators?
I naturally thought it would be pronounced the good-old Aussie way: "Peter Sayg'n", but I've heard "Peter Saygar" and "Petta S'garn"

Has everyone seen Sagan 'parking' his bike? :surprised:
Fairly handy on the bike handling front 😉 If I tried that I'd either not get the front wheel high enough and plant my face on the hood or manage to get the front wheel up in the air and sink chainring teeth into the bonnet.

One of the American commentators uttered what sounded like Petra Saggin. For some reason the first thing that came to mind was a Russian lass that'd spend too many years breast feeding and was now "gravitationally challenged"

Has been around for a while. Looks like a complete POS. Just as expensive as SRM.
So a bit like Quarq - but for a few dollars more...

My dog is pretty much a dead ringer for Red Dog except he now has one floppy ear due to surgery a couple of years ago. He is ace too!!
