Well he does have a stage win, and his team got their tactics dead right for it; he's not as fast as Cav, Greipel or Kittel, but if there's a couple of bumps in the road he can get to the finish without them. He has a big lead in the green jersey, and there are more lumpy stages than flat ones left, (tomorrow is a case in point; the profile looks like a rip saw, so Sagan could easily pick up 40+ points to no reply) so if he wants to focus on getting over the medium hills and picking up points (and stage wins) that way, I don't see anything wrong with it.
