Cycling Peter Sagan (28) dares in 2019 for the first time in his career at liège-Bastogne-Liège. That said the triple world champion during a press conference on Mallorca. Ambitions said Sagan. “I just want to know what it is.”
A surprise it is not. At the press conference on the eve of the world championship in Innsbruck, continued sports director Ralph Think the audience is already on the right track. That Sagan sooner or later at liège-Bastogne-Liège and the Tour of Lombardy will car, said Think.
It will be so sooner rather than later. Next spring already. A week after the Amstel Gold Race and has cycled, will Sagan make its debut in liège-Bastogne-Liège. “I have that course never ridden. I want to experience what it is. Perhaps, this proves a match for me.”
Sagan is a winner of the Tour of Flanders (2016) and Paris-Roubaix (2018). Winners of the Ronde and Roubaix usually remain away in Liege. Tom Boonen and Fabian Cancellara reason there never. “In 2012, I was on the list for the Amstel,” says Boonen. “But because I Harelbeke, Wevelgem, the Ronde and Roubaix had already won, I was allowed to stay home from the team.”
