168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Peter Sagan (168澳洲5最新开奖结果:TotalEnergies) has opted not to ride Sunday’s 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tour of Flanders and will undergo a series of tests to understand why he is struggling to be competitive in the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Spring Classics.
Sagan will ride next week’s four-day Circuit Cycliste Sarthe - Pays de la Loire (April 5-8) in central France in the hope the daily racing can help him overcome his problems before the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Amstel Gold Race and then 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Paris-Roubaix.
Sagan has already returned to his home in Monaco, where he will undergo blood tests and a check-up, because he had not planned to ride Wednesday’s 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Dwars door Vlaanderen. The tests will help clarify if Sagan’s problems are linked to a lack of pre-season training, a specific illness or even the conseꦇquences of his second bout of COVID-19.
Sagan came down with COVID-19 a second time in January and missed a key block of pre-season training. However, he appeared to be building form in recent weeks, despite a stomach problem ♛forcing him out of Tirreno-Adriatico the day after he finished fourth in the sprint in Sovicille. He finished🌟 fifth in Milano-Torino but a mechanical problem wrecked his chances at Milan-San Remo.
He was only 68th at E3 Saxo Bank Classic and failed to finish Gent-Wevelgem. He had been optimistic of playing a role in both races. However, despite not being sick, he lacked the power and energy in the decisive moments of the r🥂ace.
According to L’Equipe, who first reported Sagan’s decision to miss th൩e Tour of Flanders, he will be replaced by Geoffrey Soupe, a loyal teammate of team lead🐽er Anthony Turgis, who finished second at Milan-San Remo and 13th at the E3 Saxo Bank Classic on Friday.
Speaking to last week, Sagan accepte🌳d that the pressure to win is greater than when h🧔e started out his career with Liquigas back in 2010 but he claimed he is immune to pressure from outsiders.
"The pressure is ꧅greater. There is a𝓡 need to win," he said.
"Nobody can pressure me, only me. Another person can only tell ℱme some fac🌠ts, say what he thinks or what he wants. I have grown above the pressures, I have had them enough."
