Peter Sagan has told Cyclingnews that he thinks the course for the Worlds Road Race is very hard, but it is a nice course which reminds him of the Tour of Flanders.

“There is some recovery after the finish, but the last five kilometres is very hard,” he said. “It seems like Flanders. OK, the climbs are short, but with the cobblestones it will be very technical. And the finish is very, very tough. It will be a nice championships I think.”

The 25 year old Slovak wont have a team to control the race, with only Tinkoff-Saxo teammates Juraj Sagan, his brother and Michael Kolar to give him a hand in the race.

“Like every year,” he said. “We are not a national team for making the race, no? We must stick together and if somebody has some problem, a technical problem, we can exchange something, maybe a wheel or a bike. Because also the cobblestones and I think it will be a very big mess if something happens. Just be in the front, and that’s it, that’s all you can do.”
