    OK, I think we've strayed far enough off-topic now. Sagan did wrong, he's apologised. This thread is however about him, and not about sexism in cycling, so can we please now leave further discussion of that aspect out of this thread

    Thanks

    I reckon there must have been some kind of small ramp in front of the car to allow Sagan to get the back wheel onto the bonnet - that bonnet is quite high so I can't see how he'd have managed to avoid the chainrings hitting it (and him stalling) without kicking the back wheel up and I can spot no obvious sign of him kicking it up in that clip. If there was a ramp then obviously someone removed it while the person holding the camera was getting out of the car.

    Maybe I'm just being cynical though, it's still an impressive demo of bike handling regardless, I just find myself wondering how much that video is an off-the-cuff demonstration of skill and how much it is planned and staged. Not that it matters of course, I just find the impromptu demos more fun to watch, they seem much more in keeping with his riding style.

    Fantastic piece of skill from the video editors.

    They captured his eyebrows quite well. They need serious working on.

    According to Richard Moore Ned Boulting on his podcast, Dave Brailsford was not impressed with him possibly endangering the bunch.

    The miserable pr*ck.
