Video: Peter Sagan debuts new world champion's kit and shows off 2017 Specialized Venge
World champion Peter Sagan has been pictured in the rainbow jersey he will be sporting this year with his new team, Bora-Hansgrohe.
Besides the names of the German UCI WorldTour team’s sponsors, it also bears two-time world champion Sagan’s own personal brand logo on the back.
Team manager Ralph Denk said: “Obviously, it is a special moment in the life of a team manager to present a World Champions jersey. I am very proud and thankful that I am awarded this honour now.
“Peter is once again the ‘eye catcher’ in the peloton, this is also important for our sponsors. We decided to put Peter’s own logo on the backside of the jersey as a special ‘thank you’ for his outstanding performances the last years.”
Sagan said: “I am proud to wear again the rainbow jersey, now in the lights of Bora-Hansgrohe.
“But with the new year also the records start from zero again, now again hard work will be the basis for success. With my new team, I am sure, we are on track so far.”

The Slovak rider has also been showing off the Specialized Venge bike he will be riding this season, which comes with an iridescent silver paintjob – a subtle nod to his status as world champion, with the word ‘iridescent’ having its root in the Latin ‘iris,’ which means ‘rainbow’.

Sagan is currently in South Australia preparing for this month’s Tour Down Under, and found time ahead of the New Year to pop in on former Tinkoff team mate, Michael Rogers, who retired last year due to a heart condition.

Radar tells me their closing speed, if they are slowing and how far away. Then I decide to say a prayer. The change of light pattern is incidental.
Quite so, which is why our village 20mph zone covers the whole residential extent. Of course, enforcement is another thing..

No, that's very doubtful while proper testing would be fully destructive.
In that £1000 exactly scenario, beginners should probably be made aware that pedals will be extra.
What's wrong with dropping down on to the Millenium Bridge, or the swing bridge, then the brief, but satisfying climb back up the hill? #training....
The relatives might of course disagree, but in general I'd countenance a relatively light sentence* if only we could fix it so that those who...
Id forgotten that I got a second hand set of project two's for my getting to work bike over twenty years back.
My bet is that all these tires popping off are from people with bad pressure gauges or they're simply just putting too much air in on purpose. ...
