Cannondale leader gets ready for for Strade Bianche and Tirreno-Adriatico

Peter Sagan will be back in action at the GP di Camaiore in Tuscany on Thursday after recuperating from the bronchitis that forced him to abandon the Tour of Oman.

Sagan took two stages in Oman, looking powerful in the hills and fast in the sprint finishes.

Sagan has spent the last few days training in Tuscany to steer clear of the cold and wet weather of northern Europe. After the GP di Camaiore, he will also take part in the Strade Bianche race on Saturday, the new Roma Maxima race in Rome on Sunday and then Tirreno-Adriatico, which begins in Tuscany on Wednesday March 6.

"My throat isn't sore anymore and so I can say I'm better but I'm missing a bit of sharpness," Sagan said in a press release from the Cannondale team while simultaneously looking ahead.

"I rested up and then started training gradually. Camaiore is a tough race and so my first goal is to race again and see how I feel. It'll be a good way to prepare for Strade Bianche and Tirreno-Adriatico."

The Cannondale team is convinced the Slovakian rider has made a complete recovery and he will lead the team alongside fellow young talents Moreno Moser and Damiano Caruso.
