Tinkoff-Saxo's signing of Peter Sagan has led to speculation that it will be hard to find room for both the Slovakian star and Alberto Contador in the big races. However, the multiple grand tour winner insists that he is looking forward to riding with his new teammate.

Tinkoff-Saxo and Peter Sagan have signed a 3-year contract with the shared ambition of further strengthening the squad and becoming a dominant team in most of the races during the season. Alberto Contador, leader of Tinkoff-Saxo, tells that he has known about the signing of Sagan for a while and that he’s excited about the news now being official.
 
“It is a very great news, and expected, but I’m happy that it’s now official. Apart from the good relationship we have between us, Peter is also a great rider and a natural born winner. I’m sure that Peters arrival will lead to some great things on the team”, says Alberto Contador.
 
The signing of Peter Sagan obviously strengthens Tinkoff-Saxo by expanding the amount of races, where the team will be in direct contention for the win. And Contaodr is certain that he, Sagan and the rest of the team will compliment each other well.
 
“We are perfectly compatible and together we can ensure that Tinkoff-Saxo plays an important and noticeable role in most of the races on the calendar. Peter is a super talent that I believe will fit very well in the team. We are all delighted to welcome him and to have him riding with us the coming years, because he will adapt very quickly to the way we work”, concludes Alberto Contador.
