Despite 2017 brining a new team for Peter Sagan, his main goals remain the same: the Classics, the Tour and then a shot at a third Worlds win in a row.
The Slovak superstar says he doesn’t feel like Bora-hansgrohe is a new team for himself, saying he really likes the atmosphere within the newly promoted German team.
"I've been in different teams before but the ambiance here in this team is very good," he said. "I don't feel like a new guy in team only, which is nice. Now I only have to train on bike, that's what's cycling is about. It's nice to come to a new team, understand that the people leading the team are good guys and feel part of it all."
Sagan said there was a simple reason for joining the then-Pro Continental outfit: they were the only team he felt really wanted him on their roster.
"The reason I signed with Bora-hansgrohe was easy. They were the only one team that was really interested in me. Everybody was speaking, speaking and didn't do nothing. Then Ralph and I met one time and the project worked out. I like people who do things and not only speak," Sagan explained. "Bora-hansgrohe made a lot of sacrifice for me. I also have my group that works for me. I was happy to sign with them."
