The Peter Sagan thread

What are the chances of Sagan defending the World Champs jersey this year?

Bergen will see a return to a more traditionally 'open' course where the short climb of Salmon Hill will play a central role

After the 40km intro, the elite men will cover 12 laps to bring up a total race distance of 276.5km – the longest Worlds course since 1981.

"The road race route will be technical, with hills, rapid descents, cobbles, and a lot of corners, which will challenge the riders on many levels," said Hushovd. "It's a race which many riders chasing the rainbow jersey will feel they can win."
