“My aim is just to do well... and when I feel good I also win”
Prologue winner Peter Sagan further increased his lead at the inaugural Tour of Alberta yesterday when he sprinted home first at the end of the 158.1 kilometre first stage to Camrose.
The Slovakia proved too strong for the rest of the field, with his dominance copperfastening his hold on the general classification.
He beat Eric Young (Optum p/b Kelly Benefit Strategies), 3, Moreno Hofland (Belkin Pro Cycling Team), 4, Ryan Anderson (Optum p/b Kelly Benefit Strategies), Luka Mezgec (Team Argos-Shimano) plus the rest of the field to the line, increasing his overall lead to 23 seconds over Garmin-Sharp rider Rohan Dennis, 24 over Tobias Ludvigsson (Team Argos-Shimano) and thirty seconds over former Tour de France winner Cadel Evans.
The latter’s team-mate Brent Bookwalter remains fifth.
Sagan was pleased with how things worked out, although said that it was a hard day for his team, which did much of the pulling at the front of the bunch.
“I have to say thanks to them because in this situation you need the support of your team, or you don't win,” he said after notching up his twentieth victory of 2013. “The sprint was into a headwind and I thought was important to stay on the wheel as much as possible.”
He waited when Young made his move early, biding his time before blazing past the Optum rider.
“When I saw Young attack I thought was too early. I had no reason to follow, just need patience and to sprint at the right moment.”
The stage started in Strathcona County and saw a number of attacks. The peloton was still together at the first intermediate sprint, that of Ft. Saskatchewan (km 27), where Simon Geschke (Team Argos-Shimano) beat Jeremy Powers (Jelly Belly p/b Kenda) and Patrick Gretsch (Team Argos-Shimano).
Soon after Powers, Marc Goos (Belkin Pro Cycling), Jeremy Vennell (Bissell Pro Cycling) and Will Clarke (Argos Shimano) attacked and established a two minute lead by the time they reached the sixty kilometre point, and the sprint at Ardrossan.
Clarke beat Goos and Powers there, after which the gap continued at the two minute mark until inside the final fifty kilometres.
With Sagan’s Cannondale team riding hard, the advantage was just 45 seconds at the start of three four kilometre finishing circuits. Clarke and Goos pushed ahead, but everything was back together just before the bell.
Garmin-Sharp’s Ryder Hesjedal became confused and sprinted for the line, thinking he had won, then realised there was still a lap to go. Sagan had his timing perfect, though, and four kilometres later he overhauled the early jump by Young and powered in for stage win number two.
Four more stages remain, including today’s 174.8 kilometre race from Devon to Red Deer. Some are speculating that the flat nature of the race means that Sagan could notch up multiple successes this week; he does little to play that down.
“Winning again? My aim is just to do well... and when I feel good I also win,” he said.
