Winning in California or Suisse is not essential, he already has plenty of victories there. He'll probably slowly build up to the TdF now.
He'll likely still racing California because he actually really enjoys that race. Plus he usually flys to the US at least 1-2 weeks before the race. That should get him at least that time for training without many interruptions.
Re:
One of the problems may be all the obligations to his sponsors in the US.
IMO he is doing too many appearances, and while it is not as demanding as racing, it could still be very exhausting between travel etc.
He needs rest. I mean complete rest!

Re: Re:
That's possible. Although without the rainbow jersey you'd think his appearances would be less than they had been the last three years with it.

He could be a bit burned out. OTOH it's my perception (I could be wrong) that there are a bunch of new riders coming to the fore this year -- Matthews, VDP, Fugl, Lambrecht, Alaphilippe etc. -- it just seems that some of those guys have an extra gear. Obviously every year there's a new crop but something about this year seems a little different. Or maybe it's that I'm paying more attention.
As expected, instead of getting proper rest, Sagan is traveling around Europe promoting his gold "coin/medal" that you can buy for about $25,000.
But hurry up, because only 100 coins were made and 65 has already sold. It is made out of real gold and therefore a true bargain!

When someone wears a golden chain like one of the worst gangsta rapper from the ghetto you can start worrying.
Re:
Wouldn't worried about that one much. He's always been kinda...ehm... simple oneNirvana said:
If he has signed a contract to promote this, then it is not much that you can do here and now though. Just need to think more about the timing of these sort of things in the future. That performing on the bike comes first and deals or opportunities like this is fruit of the labor in a way.
Re:

Sorry .
He needs to rest/regroup, he's still be best bike rider in the World methink, just a little burned-out.
...call in the next 5 minutes, and you will get free shipping and a free replica of the banana that caused him to slide and run Cav' in the barricades at the Tour.

Sagan said in an interview during his gold coin promotion that he still has issues, particularly with his right leg, caused by the 2018 TdF crash.

Thanks. I think there were several of us wondering if he was still suffering some effects from that crash.
He is still at a high level. Just not at his best. Hopefully he will still manage a few victories this season and come back stronger than ever next season.

Re:
I think that when he says that he wants to have riders going to both Giro and California he specifically refers to Sagan, there aren't other riders that go to California interested in riding the Giro.
Don't worry, the local french mayor is working to screw ...ehm fix... the calandar and make it possible next year.del1962 said:

It is kind of funny to think how crazy good peter sagan is. We are bashing at how *** he has been and he still has 2 world tour wins, and rode in the final 3 out of the 4 monuements that have been ridden this year. And some people are saying he needs to be checked with what is wrong. Kind of says everything about his level. Just my thoughts.
