Peter Sagan - year in rainbow

weisan · #1 10-10-2015, 08:49 AM

Like it or not, I am gonna create a thread to track the "ups and downs" of Peter Sagan this year wearing the rainbow jersey....not because I am a fan boy, simply I thought it would be fun.

He is now riding his first race since winning the WC....at the Abu Dhabi Tour.

Er...Prince...what exactly do you want me to do with this birdie?

He's brilliant isn't he?! Really pleased he's the world champ. Such a character; such a talent; seems like a really nice guy aswell.

Snipped from Cyclingnews:

Peter Sagan stole the show by ignoring requests to wear a suit. He turned up in a red T-shirt, leather jacket and boots and punched the air as he collected a framed rainbow jersey from UCI President Brian Cookson. He later broke the glass to pull on the rainbow jersey for some final photographs but also wished Tom Boonen a rapid recovery after his nasty crash during stage 2 of the Abu Dhabi Tour.

"I'm very proud of the rainbow jersey and I hope I can be a good world champion. This jersey is maybe a bit heavy but I will try to do my best," Sagan said sincerely.

Sagan indulges his playful streak at Sportful HQ

Peter Sagan paid a visit to Sportful, the designer and maker of his rainbow cycling kit.

The man he was trying to score past in goal was Paolo Bettini, who is the last rider to have won back-to-back world titles.
