168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Peter Sagan is enjoying a break from road racing after his successful cobbled Classics campaign with his 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tinkoff team, bu𒈔t he continues to make headlines thanks to the Slovakian post office creating a special stamp to celebrate his victory in the world road race championships in Richmond.

On Sunday, Sagan will also compete in a 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:mountain bike race in Graz, Austria, and then a second race in the𝓀 Czech Republic on April 30, as he returns to his mountain bike roots. In May, he w🔜ill head to the USA to ride the Tour of California before focusing on his preparation for the Tour de France and targeting a fifth green points jersey.

The Slovakian post office unveiled the com൩memorative stamp on Thursday morning at a special event in Sagan’s hometown of Ziline. A run of 300,000 stamps will be made as part of the collectable limited edition stamp. A special post card has also been produced, which has a cartoon design showing Sagan’s development as a boy, hiꦺs successes in road races and the moment he won the world title and then bit his medal on the podium. The stamp can be purchased via the Slovakian post office philately website (www.pofis.sk).

Sagan attended the official presentation of the stamp as he prepared for Sunday’s mountain bike race. He will ride the Grazer Bike-Opening Stattegg race in Austria this weekend before heading to the Czech Republic for the Czech Strﷺabag MTB cup on April 30.

There have been reports that the two mountain bike races could be part of a plan for Sagan to ride the mountain bike cross country race at the Rio Olympics in August. Sagan won the junior world mountainꦉ title in 2009 but has not competed in mountain bike events at an international level since switching to road racing and turning professional.

However, Sagan’s entourage played down the reports that he could race off road at the Rio Olympics but also refused to rule out the idea. Sagan saw the road race and time trial courses in Rio in January, and realised they are too hilly for hꦯim and more suited to Grand Tour contenders and climbers. Riding the cross country mountain bike event could be an alternative way for Sagan to compete in the Rio Olympics and represent Slovakia. However, the UCI will only confirm the final allocation of places in the Olympic mountain bike races at the൩ end of May.

For now, it seems Sagan just wants toღ mix up his racing and compete in some mountain bike events for sponsor Specialized as he takes a break from road racing.
