Tom Boonen Peter Sagan

In April 2018 Sagan said other teams were too concerned with marking him than racing for a win after the Tour of Flanders. He said there was a lack of cooperation from other riders after his rival’s attack.

“The other teams didn’t respect the situation and collaborate. It’s not just me that they need to beat.”

Tom Boonen responded to him and said he should shut up: “A lack of cooperation? He is always at the wheel, I think Sagan really should not talk about a lack of cooperation. He is the one who always starts to sit on.
