The forme✨r three-time world champion is using the WorldTour opener as the s🌠tart to his season for the third year running.
"Once again I am looking forward to being at the Santos Tour Down Under. This race holds a special place in my heart as it was my first race as a neo-pro in ꦫ2010," Sagan said on the race website.
"The changes to the 2019 course will be exciting and the finale at Willunga Hill will 🍒be a spectacle for sure.🔯"
After Alejandro Valverde took over the mantle♏ of world champion in Innsbruck last September, the Tour Down Under will mark the first time in three years that Sagan has not worn the rainbow bands in a race. He won’t be back to standard team kit just yet, as he is still the reigning Slovakian champion.
Thanks to a calendar change, Sagan will race bothꦏ the Tour Down Under and the Vuelta a San Juan this January. There is a seven-day gap between the two races, allowing Sagan to travel from Australia to Argentina in time.
Sagan took a stage wiജn in Uraidla in last year’s race and had a stint as the overall leader. The race will return to Uraidla once again this season with an uphill dash to the line on stage 3, a perfect chance fo♉r Sagan to repeat his endeavours.
