Peter Sagan will again focus on the cobbled classics. From Sanremo to Roubaix, the Slovakian from Tinkoff-Saxo will make every effort to win a big classic. The Tour de France will be the goal in the second half.

Peter Sagan has confirmed his schedule: Tour of Qatar, Tour of Oman, Tirreno-Adriatico, Milan-San Remo, E3 Harelbeke, Gent-Wevelgem, Tour of Flanders, Scheldeprijs, Paris-Roubaix, Tour of California, Tour of Switzerland, the Slovakian Championships and the Tour de France.

The Slovakian will again start his season in Qatar as he did in 2012 and for the fourth year in a row, he will also ride in Oman. Tirreno-Adriatico in which he has won four stages, will be the first big test for the major objectives: San Remo (2nd in 2013), E3 Harelbeke (1st in 2014), Ghent-Wevelgem (1st in 2013), Tour of Flanders (2nd in 2013 and 5th in 2012), Scheldeprijs and Roubaix (6th in 2014).

The second part will be the same as in 2012, 2013 and 2014 and will be made up of California and Switzerland where he has 11 and 9 wins respectively, and the national championships. In the Tour de France, he will ride alongside Contador with the the dual goal of winning a stage and winning the green jersey for the third time.

At 24 years of age - he will turn 25 later this month - Sagan goes into his seventh season, the first with Tinkoff-Saxo. There will be a change in his classics schedule as he will skip Strade Bianche where he was second in 2013 and 2014 and won't ride in the Ardennes where he last raced in 2013. He was third in the 2012 Amstel Gold Race. Tirreno will be his only race with Contador before the Tour de France.

In 2014, Sagan took seven victories - a stage in Oman, one in Tirreno-Adriatico, the E3 Harelbeke classic, a stage in De Panne, a stage in the Tour of California, a stage in the Tour de suisse and the Slovakian Championships - ten second places and six third places. He failed to win a stage in the Tour de France but won the green jersey. During his classics campaign, he won the E3 and was 2nd in Strade Bianche, 3rd in Gent-Wevelgem, 6th in Paris-Roubaix, 10th in Milan-San Remo and 16th in the Tour of Flanders.

In 2013, he obtained 22 wins and was second in Milan-San Remo and the Tour of Flanders. In 2012 he took 16 victories and in 2011 he won 11 races.
