168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Peter Sagan and Specialized bikes are just a signature away from signing for 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Team TotalEnergies in 2022, according to the latest reports from the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tour de France.
The Slovakian is set to leave 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Bora-Hansgrohe after five years at the team, and has been 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:linked with a handful of teams, includ⛄ing the French ProTeam an🔜d Belgian powerhouse Deceuninck-QuickStep, but now looks to be heading to the French squad.
journalist Raymond Kerckhoffs on Tuesday suggested that TotalEnergies will sign a contract with Sagan, several support riders, and bike supplier Specialized after the Tour de France.
Sagan, a three-time world champion with seven Tour de France points jerseys to 💖his name, would bring Daniel Oss, Maciej Bodnar, Erik Baška and his brother Juraj with him to his new team.
In May, Deceuninck-QuickStep boss Patrick Lefevere said that the 31-year-old also requested the transfer of two mechanics, two soigneurs, a directeur spor🌳tif, a press officer, and a hospitality manager.
Saga's request to bring such an entourage with him to any new team was the primary reason for Deceuninck-QuickStep's refusal to sign him, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:said Lefevere.
Bora-Hansgrohe's split with Sagan dates back to early April, when 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:team manager Ralph Denk said he was "entering the autumn of his career" and questioned whether the team should invest in younger riders, in an interview with a German ne𝓡wspaper.
"We are very grateful for what Sagan has done for us. The sponsors have received a lot of attention thanks to him💝, but he is entering the autumn oဣf his career," Denk was reported as saying.
"And he's one of the best paid professionals in the peloton. We just have to weigh up: Do we still want to afford it? Or is it better to invest the money in younger riders?𓂃"
Sagan has flattered to deceive so far at this year's Tour de France, with his best results after 10 days of the race being fifth places on stages 4 and 6. He currently lies seventh in the points competition, 126 ൩points down on leader Mark Cavendish (Deceuninck-QuickStep).
Specialized will reportedly maintain their role as bike supplier to Bora-Hansgrohe, despit🐼e Sagan leaving, as well as Deceuninck-QuickStep, who they have supplied since 2012.
"I'm still waiting for the signature of the par🤡ties involved," Jean-René Bernaudeau told .
No rider signings are allowed to be made official before pro cycling's official 'transfer window' opens on August 1, so it will be a few weeks before the French team offi🦄cially announce any Sagan transfer.
Bora-Hansgrohe, meanwhile, have been linked with Sam Bennett, who left the team for Deceuninck-QuickStep last year. The Irishman has been criticised in public by Lefevere in the run-up to the Tour de France after he pulled out of the team's Tour squad due to a knee injury, and will 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:join a new team for 2022.
The꧃ future of B෴ora's other sprinter, Pascal Ackermann, is also in the air with his contract up at the end of the season.
