Sagan draws a secret weapon. New improvements refused – Cycling – PRAVDA.sk

At the finish of Paris-Roubaix 2018, his Dutch rival Niki Terpstra came to Petr Sagan’s machine and looked at it from every side. This is the bike he won, he asked.

Tomorrow, the Slovak champion will start the famous one-off nine times in his career.

In 2018, he won it after a great performance, helped by the classic specialized Specialized S-Works Roubaix.

The American bicycle manufacturer, with which Sagan has been cooperating for several years, prepared the same machine for the three-time world champion on Sunday. There are minor improvements or surprises.

Sagan opted for the Dura-Ace 9120 manual derailleur, although several expected it to reach for the new, electronically controlled Dura-Ace 9200.

What does Slovák’s weapon look like, which he will use in Hell of the North in 2021? See the gallery:
