Peter Sagan made his father and his wife wait patiently outside the Tinkoff bus after the hectic conclusion of Milan-San Remo but when he emerged, any anger and disappointed had largely faded away and he was happy to sign numerous autographs before analyzing his performance.
“I did my very best, the team worked really well too but that’s racing...” he said, caring little that he finished 12th in the sprint behind winner Arnaud Demare (FDJ).
“Milan-San Remo is a crazy race, that’s why it’s useless doing all the press conferences and to speak a lot before the race. Milan-San Remo is always like that.”

Sagan had looked strong during the finale of Milan-San Remo and made a decisive effort to close down a dangerous attack by Fabian Cancellara (Trek-Segafredo) in the final two kilometres on the flat roads of San Remo.
“When Cancellara attacked, I said: ‘If I let him go, San Remo is over,’” Sagan explained, going on to explain the moment that cost him a chance of victory.
“I think I was the only one who could have closed that gap. Then I got away with Boasson Hagen, Gaviria and someone else. Then with about 500 metres to go, Gaviria looked around because the group was coming up. He went down and I only just managed to avoid him. I stayed up but I lost a lot speed and never managed to get going again in the final metres.”
