I'm not sure what Sagan's goals at the tour are besides walking away with the green jersey. He's been winning races since early in the year...maybe he has his eyes on something else
hmm, it's a bit less selective than i imagined, but still pretty damn tough. my bet is on a GC rider with a good kick, perhaps Valverde (yikes), De Gendt, or Purito
