👑 The king is back!
It had been a long while since Peter Sagan had taken a win at the highest level, and over a year since his last win at World Tour level. It has been a year wrecked by ilnesses until today, when the Slovakian won for the first time in TotalEnergies at the Tour de Suisse.
“I told you already it’s hard to get back in a racing mood after my sickness and three months without racing – it just needs time," he said in the post-race interview. Today's stage wasn't likely to end in a bunch sprint, however Sagan found himself in the position to be within a shot of the win.
Having gotten himself in third wheel, Sagan launched his sprint from the wheel of Alexander Kristoff and held the front until the finale. "It’s just a stage win, I’m happy for that and for the team, they did a great job on the front pulling all day. In the end I made it, and I’m just happy for that," Sagan added, satisfied.
"Well, it’s nice to be back," he concluded. Sagan will likely not have another opportunity to fight for a stage win during the week, however with the goal accomplished he will now try to get some more form from the brutal final days of the race.

- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
