The
TotalEnergies rider is currently travelling to Argentina for the Vuelta a San Juan where he will start his season. He will find tough competition in the sprints however he will look to build form and chase a win to get the engine going towards the spring. He will likely race both Omloop Het Nieuwsblad and Kuurne - Bruxelles - Kuurne and choose between Paris-Nice and Tirreno-Adriatico before Milano-Sanremo.
“I want to win there. Only when that race is no longer missing from my palmares can I speak of a completely successful career," he admits. "The race has eluded me for too long. It's a simple race, but very hard to win. TotalEnergies can win a monument. Nothing is impossible."
For many years Sagan was rated as a main favourite for the longest professional road race of the season. His climbing capacity, sprinting talents and overwhelming palmarès in the spring classics - including wins at the Tour des Flandres and Paris-Roubaix - have always seen him in a good position, but the victory has always eluded him.
He's finished on the Top10 on nine occasions out of 12 participations. Sagan has on two occasions finished second and fourth on a total of five different occasions. It is fair to say he will be a prime contender for a Top10, but he's looking to finally raise his arms in glory.
