The arrival of Peter Sagan
For a few years, the mythical team of Jean René Bernaudeau has kept a similar appearance for a few seasons now. Be present on the Flandrian classics and be offensive on the Tour de France.
So yes indeed, the workforce is not that of INEOS or even Jumbo – Visma but Total manages with its weapons, especially Thomas Voeckler, Sylvain Chavanel or even Lilian Calmejane who have done great things for their team. But for a few seasons, it's difficult for Total with few victories on the clock. But this year the French team struck a blow during the transfer window by bringing in the international cycling star, Slovakian and multiple world champion Peter Sagan.
Peter Sagan c'est, 3 World's Championships, 7 green jerseys during the Tour de France, and near 120 victories under his belt, yes Peter is a phenomenon and his departure from his faithful BORA stable – Hansgrohe surprised more than one.
Sagan's revival ?
With the arrival of the Slovak, the objectives are clear, performed even more on the flandriennes and performed during the sprints, especially that of the Tour de France. Sagan is the ideal rider for the Total Energies team, because yes Peter Sagan has everything that can suit a team like Total, go for classics and be victorious in the Tour de France. So yes it's last season the Slovak has not been as impactful as his great years, but perhaps the fact of having stayed so many years at BORA has made Sagan return to a routine that no longer suits him and his departure for Total is perhaps a sign of renewal for him and we hope for the return of a great Sagan during great events.
Sagan etc…
With his arrival, Peter Sagan did not arrive empty-handed. The Slovak rider has, with him, brought two of his loyal teammates. Daniel Oss, Maciej Bodnar and his brother Juraj Sagan joined the team at the same time. Thanks to its popularity, Sagan has also brought his full range of sponsors, in particular the Specialized brand of bicycles which will equip the French team this season.. He has stated several times during the ordeal that he is “rising under pressure” and that he is “on the right track to find his best level”., the arrival of Sagan can only do good by taking the TotalEnergies team to the top, especially in the Tour de France this season with great sprints in perspective.
