Everyone else goes home to let Sagan win alone


A cowboy dressed as Peter Sagan fills in on signing autographs while the Slovak comes to terms with winning every stage


It is believed that all riders not named Peter Sagan packed up their bags and left California yesterday morning ahead of the fourth stage of the Tour of California. With the Slovak having won the first three stages everyone else on the tour pondered the point of suffering on only to watch the same man win again. The result was Sagan riding stage four alone to yet another victory. He'll set off today in the individual time-trial and, given the circumstances, is expected to tootle to victory.

"There's no point in going on," said one member of the peloton, speaking on the agreement of anonymity. "Sagan is too greedy, he doesn't give anyone else the chance to win so why bother," he continued to the sound of the worlds smallest violin while throwing his suitcase onto the team bus before it departed for the nearest airport.

"And we thought Cavendish was bad," howlered a team-mate from the bus window before telling us to tell Sagan to enjoy riding alone.

Sagan has confirmed he will continue to win all the stages and did so yesterday once again. At least this is how it would all appear to anyone who didn't physically watch the stage and has only read headlines such as 'Sagan wins' and 'Sagan wins again' for four straight days.
