Sagan: Tinkoff-Saxo can rule the Classics

Mediocrity is a not a term one usually associates with Peter Sagan but by his own admission 2014 was a season that failed to live up to his lofty expectations. A green jersey – his third on the trot – at the Tour de France was a notable highlight and his prowess at E3 Harelbeke had the peloton sit up and take notice but Sagan, in the eyes of many, is supposed to be an almost all-conquering force of nature on a bike.
