If his fitness permits, Peter Sagan will make an appearance in the Flemish opening weekend this year. That reports The newspapaer. It would be the first time since 2017 that the Slovak will start in the Omloop Het Nieuwsblad and Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne.
As it has been, the Tour des Alpes Maritimes et du Var (18-20 February) is Sagan’s first race in the outfit of the new team TotalEnergies. That depends on his form, because the 31-year-old leader was sidelined for a while with a corona infection.
In the meantime, he has rejoined the training camp of his French employer, which is not yet until Friday. Because Sagan has a training delay, the three-time world champion will leave immediately after the training period for the Canary Islands, where he will continue his work – of course not at height.
The Omloop Het Nieuwsblad (26 February) and Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne (27 February) are on Sagan’s program. In 2016 and 2017 he was second in the Omloop, he managed to win Kuurne in 2017. A year earlier, he finished seventh in the spring classic.
