There were a good few years where Sagan could blitz anyone in a bunch sprint, and still hold his own with the GC guys up all but the biggest of climbs.

I think it was more of a mental thing. He never loved road cycling and his divorce clearly didn't put him in a good space to perform

Yeah that is definitely factor as well, combined with that he pretty much achieved what he could in road cycling
