"t was such an incredible day!" - Peter Sagan reflects on E-MTB World championships
Cycling
The E-MTB World Championships had the presence of a big name in cycling this year in Peter Sagan, as he took to the off-road to compete for an under-the-radar event where he had good feedback from.
"It was such an incredible day! I enjoyed it a lot and I am sure I will be back. Thanks to Specialized, Ride100Percent, and Sportful for their support and to Jean-René for letting me race here," the Slovakian said in a social media post. "Congratulations to all the competitors on the trails today for making it a nice and exciting race".
Whilst the race was won by France's Jerome Gilloux, Sagan came home in 16th place, 5:25 minutes down on the winner. As a race in which his role in Specialized heavily influenced, it served for further brand exposure in an event which was won by Gilloux last year aswell.
Now with his focus back on the road, Sagan is scheduled to return to competition this weekend at the Bretagne Classic, before tackling the Canadian hilly classics - in which he's thrived in the past - and several other one-day races towards the World championships.

- 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.
