Fernando Gaviria couldn\u2019t do any better than that and he sent a strong message to all Sagan\u2019s fans out there. This year is not going to be a walk in the park for the world champ.<\/strong><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Gaviria shines<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The 23-year-old Colombian might be a new face to the casual cycling fan, but aficionados have known about him for several years now. He has been touted as the next Mark Cavendish for a similar physique and sprinting style. And he even beat the Manx Man twice back at the 2015 Tour de San Luis. He beat Sagan in the 2016 edition of the same race, so there\u2019s no doubt the Slovak knows what he\u2019s up against.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_165939\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-165939\" style=\"width: 1250px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2018\/07\/profimedia-0377480259.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-165939\" src=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2018\/07\/profimedia-0377480259.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1250\" height=\"830\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-165939\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">&#8220;If you fear crashing, then you&#8217;re not going to win anything,&#8221; the Colombian said after the second stage.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>With support from the Quick-Step Floors, Gaviria sits firmly in second place with 156 points.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Sagan in the lead<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The world champion has finished in the TOP 10 in all stages, except the TTT. With two first places and two seconds, he was placed eighth in the hilly finish yesterday and proved that he might be in the best form of his life.
