Alternatively you’ve got an exotic mixed team time trial relay in the European Championships at Trentino.  
 

Organisers have missed a trick to create drama by putting the nailed-on-certainty-to-smash-everyone team of :NED in the first wave.

Not even a little bit the big favourite :d

I can't believe i missed it, but Sagan has signed a two-year deal with Total Direct Energie, a Pro-Conti team !?! :yikes: Like no one wanted to have Sagan on his team?! The guy will be only 32 in january.

It is not about no one wanted Sagan it is about no many wanted his team. Peter has only one condition before signing the contract, his brother Juraj, his neighbor friend Erik Baška, the slovak DS Ján Valach, his personal masseur Maroš Hlad, and Maciej Bodnar must also join the team at the same time for the same period of the deal.

 

This time only Direct Energie accepted it, so he decided to make a compromise, dropped his salary condition, and they all 6 signed a contract. This is the way Peter is doing his career, helping his friends and family.

So after the pope yesterday today I saw Peter Sagan for the first time in my life :d Košice is like the most active city in the world lately haha

 

Today started the "Okolo Slovenska 2021" in Košice by a prologue in the main street and it was pure madness, thousands of people came to see Peter starting finally (first time ever) at the Tour de Slovaquie at his 31. I saw also Froome or Lutsenko. Especially Froomy had some nice welcome, he looked really happy to be there :) quite a great day, it was. Tomorrow the city will also be the start and finish place of the stage 1

 

A couple of pictures and short 1 minute highlights from the prologue of Okolo Slovenska still under the :VAT flags :p
