From cycling news This kid is just teasing everybody The funny thing is that I totally see him ringing Cav in a sprint to let him know he is passing, and i see cav saying... %$#^%$#^% wank,,,,!!!!! aswell
"Sagan's bell against crashes
Peter Sagan (Liquigas-Cannondale) not only displays interesting victory salutes. The current wearer of the green jersey also relies on quite traditional bike components in order to prevent him from crashing. After having his chances annihilated by a fall in the finale of Thursday's stage five, the Slovakian asked his mechanic to mount a bell on his handlebar - indeed, an ordinary, black city bike bell. Let's hope it will get him upright through today's stage from Epernay to Metz. HK

OK, I find myself actually rooting for one of these guys now. Sporting a bell in the TdF, I hope he wins!

<sarcasm> i don't understand, shouldn't the bell be mounted on the drops so he can use it during sprints? </sarcasm>
refreshing to see this kid having so much fun with his talent!
real question though, will he start to focus his development work on time trialing and climbing so he can be considered a GC contender in years to come? he is young enough!! he will be a killer classics rider regardless!

Because at the end of the day, with the benefit of time, all we will remember are the GC winners. Peter Sagan at 22 and real good still have the opportunity to "train his weaknesses" and become more than a "sprinter".

During the Tour of California I could not stand him, I am a California native/resident afterall, because I wanted someone from the US to win. Now that the TdF is going on and not many US riders making wrinkles I love Sagan! He is having so much fun riding and it is good to see the old guard having to defend themselves against him when it comes to sprinting. The bell just tops the cake for me.

Ring, ring - sprinter coming through! I love it. It's good to see a rider having fun for God's sake! And the wheelies rock as well.

All YOU will remember. Some of us have better memories and more diverse interests. I enjoy a classics race as much as any grand tour. You probably haven't heard of Brabantse Pjil. But you you probably ride a TREK.

Can you off the top of your head tell me who won the TdF in 1991? Well, I can. For the life of me however, I can't tell you who was the top sprinter. That is my point.
And, for your info, I know what the Brabantse Pjil is.

Who said anything about a grand tour vs classics? I like all kinds of cycling, including even Keirin.

I think he needed the bell when Goss cut him off.

I'm told jockstraps were invented for bicycle jockeys.
Might be natural OEM equipment along w/ handlebar mustache and wine bottle for that vintage track bike.
