The Slovak cyclist is waiting for the tenth participation in the most famous and most watched stage races in the world. From Saturday, he will start the fight for the eighth green jersey for the winner of the scoring competition.
Sagan came to the podium in the westernmost large French city after seven of his fellow passengers were already standing on it – and he was welcomed by the audience.

“Thank you for the welcome, it’s great to be here again and stand here with my Bora-Hansgrohe teammates. We will try to show the best that is in us, “said Sagan in the colors of the Slovak champion.
“I’ll try to win a green jersey and win a stage, but it’s very difficult. Last year you could have known that it is not entirely obvious that I will win the points competition, “he added.

After the presentation, RTVS also gave an interview.
“I don’t even know how I feel. When it starts, it will be better. Going four Grand Toures in one year is quite challenging, “he admitted before the start of his tenth Tour de France.
What did the expectations at the premiere look like and what are they like today?
“In 2012, I definitely had a lot more expectations, I was more excited. It was something new for me, a great honor to start the Tour. Now it has become like an obligation to be here, “laughed the three-time world champion.
He was cautious in his statements of expectations, as he was on stage.
“From what I’ve experienced and what my experience of the Tour de France is, one year is harder, another easier,” he said. According to him, the same applies in terms of rivals and competition.
“It depends on the circumstances. I’ll try to do the best I know. According to that, we will see what works out, “added Žilinčan.
We will bring all stages online.
