Peter Sagan will participate in the world championship of Les Gets: but not with classic mtb but e-bike! And the anticipation that the Gazzetta dello Sport gave a few hours ago.
In 2008, an extraordinary year among the Juniores in MTB: a world title in cross country in Val di Sole, another victory at the Europeans in St. Wendel and the cyclocross world silver in Treviso. This has meant that many road teams have noticed the Slovak talent. Then the passage on the road and many important victories that have led him to be one of the most famous athletes in the world (3 world road championships).
Peter Sagan never ceases to surprise and now declares that he will participate in the Electric Mountain Bike World Championship, scheduled for Friday 26 August in Les Gets, France. After a few seasons where he is not finding winning form on the road, and returning from a disappointing Tour de France, Peter is looking for new stimuli in other disciplines.
The race is scheduled for Friday 26 August 2022: certainly the push for participation in the e-bike World Championship came from Specialized, the bike brand that has always been linked to Peter and which prompted him to take part. even at Gravel competitions this year.
Peter Sagan's commitment to this e-MTB World Championship will be inserted in the midst of a one-day road racing program that will culminate with the Road World Championships, where he will seek the fourth title, never achieved by anyone in the history of cycling.
