On his farewell tour of the classics, three-time road bike world champion Peter Sagan continues to be unlucky.
On his farewell tour of the classics, three-time road bike world champion Peter Sagan continues to be unlucky.
The former professional of the German team Bora-hansgrohe had to give up injured at Paris-Roubaix after the first cobblestone passages. Sagan fell in the first section after a good 95 kilometers. The Slovak won Paris-Roubaix in 2018.
The 33-year-old had to end the Tour of Flanders prematurely last week. Sagan was involved in a mass crash caused by careless behavior by Pole Filip Maciejuk, who was later disqualified. Sagan will end his career on the road at the end of the year. The Slovak wants to compete in the mountain bike race of the Paris Olympic Games next year at the end of his career.
