Sagan is turning himself in as a top-level highway rider in 2023
33-year-old Peter Sagan is nearing the end of his career. At a press conference in regards to the Vuelta a San Juan race, he was able to say that this year’s season would be his last at the top level as a road rider.
It writes Cyclingnews.com.
He will continue his career too after 2023, but in 2024 it is mountain bikes that will be the focus and the Olympics in Paris will be his main goal. Sagan also participated in mountain biking at the 2016 Olympics.
– I have always said that I want to end my career on a mountain bike, since I started my career on a mountain bike, Sagan said at a press conference.
Cyclingnews further writes that Sagan is also open to doing some road races next year, but that it won’t be at the top level.
“I think my supporters and people deserve to know now that this will be my last season on the road,” said Sagan.
Slovakia is a three-time world champion on the road and has, among other things, won 12 stages in the Tour de France, seven green points jerseys in the same race and the monumental classics Paris-Roubaix and Flanders once each.
Sagan currently races for the French team TotalEnergies, along with Edvald Boasson-Hagen, among others.
