Um, you sure about that? He had more wins than Cav or Kittel in the 2013 season, as well as more podium placings for 2nd and 3rd than both of them combined for those placings. I would argue that he is a pure sprinter...he is also a smarter one, hence all the jersey's and podiums. You would have to go back to a relatively green (no pun) rider of 2011, at barely 21, to see him behind. I say that and I am a Cavendish fan first and foremost over any of them.Sagan is not a pure sprinter at all, he showed this when finishing up with the big names on a very tough stage 2. This is exactly the reason he is so well suited to the green jersey, as he is able to pick up points on stages when a lot of the main sprinters cannot, just like Thor Hushovd a few years ago.
I can't wait to watch it tonight. It could be a good day for a breakaway to succeed if they let one get far enough up the road and they have good luck on the cobbles. I don't see this stage finishing in a bunch sprint, even though its flat.Cobblestones today always exciting to watch. kinda like nascar you watch for the crashes

He was ahead of Cav and Kittel in 2012 in total podium again and tied with Mark for wins.
