[Robertino 163]

Jordy Smith - surf - South Africa

[hckošice 16,572]

Peter Sagan (Road cycling)

 

that crash with Caleb ewan in the 3rd stage of the TdF appeared to be more costly. Yesterday Peter had to undergo surgery and today the medical staff did not recommend him to compete in Tokyo He was aiming for his 3rd Olympics in 2nd sport (London 2012 our sole Road cycling athlete, Rio 2016 our sole MTB cycling athlete...this time we finally qualified also a teammate for him and he picked his brother Juraj...)

 

oh well, thats so sad and disappointing.

 

Lukáš Kubiš will replace him and join Juraj Sagan in the road race.
