The Slovakian, three-time world champion, will experience his last road race this weekend.
Peter Sagan (33), rider for the TotalEnergies team, will end his road career during the Tour de Vendée this Sunday. The Slovak (professional since 2009; 121 victories) will have marked his era by notably winning 3 world champion titles ((2015, 2016, 2017), the Tour of Flanders (2016), Paris-Roubaix (2018), 12 stages of the Tour de France (accompanied by 7 victories in the green jersey classification)…
During the last Tour de France (which Sagan finished in 127th place without having been able to take part in the fight for a stage victory), Jean-René Bernaudeau, the manager of the TortalEnergies team, confided that he had no regrets about the subject. of the charismatic runner: “It will remain a beautiful encounter in my life. He is a man who invests a lot in others, particularly with sick children’s associations. He gave the team pride, but sportingly, it’s over. He had difficulty engaging with a new generation who had no respect on the road. And he doesn’t take it well. I asked him to do one last season, but he ended up telling me that he couldn’t do it anymore, even for a light program combined with mountain biking.»
