CHOLET: In the park around the fashionable hotel outside Vittel, journalists, photographers, TV crews, minibuses, satellite brands manage to convey to the world the news of Peter's destiny Sagan at the Tour de France 2017.
Do not come this hot July field in the middle of France. But the next day, it was clear. Peter Sagan was expelled from all the Tour de France. He had used the elbow to push Mark Cavendish out of the way and into the fence, the head of the head meant.
– Innocent, both Peter Sagan and the boss of the Ralph Denk team said that time.
He had already won a stage of the most important race of the year. He should show the world his class beyond the ride. He was deprived of this opportunity.

won the World Cup while waiting
He waited 12 months to win, for example, the World Cup in Bergen, before he could try again.
And when he took a chance on the Tour de France, he picked up the thread where he left it last year. He was beaten only by Fernando Gaviria during the first stage and the second day he was the first to cross the line. No elbows, no need, just Peter Sagan's show from morning till night.
He is the kind of rider that people love. No less in Slovakia. He is one of the greatest sports heroes of the country.
– Life is always good. And life is even better when he wears the yellow jersey, he said in a characteristic narrative, with dragging quotes on a charming "slovakinglish".
After two stages, he led the Tour de France. But he was aware that he had just been borrowed.
– There is one thing: I do not wear it in Paris, he says with a big look.
No Revenge
He is a man who steals his bicycle in childish joy during a victory that carries autographs to almost everyone who asks for it. A guy who seems to be all the way down. When he won the stage at Mouilleron-Saint-Germain in La Roche-sur-Yon on Tuesday, he was the one who did the most interviews before starting.
As the speaker began to count, Peter Sagan was smiling in the middle of a TV
In a year, how much did he get to Team Sky and Chris Froome's doping test, heightened security and other sadness, it is a trip to the Tour that Sagan is back. Many Frenchmen guilty of cycling think that he can save the Tour de France this year.
It was asked after the victory Sunday, it was a rematch after what happened last year.
– Revenge? I do not think of revenge. It was not my fault what happened. I do not think about it anymore. I am here now, he said.
In many ways, he was acquitted of death last year. The International Cycling Federation turned around and decided that what had happened in Vittel when he had been expelled was an accident and that the legend had not intended to hurt anyone.
Do not take it solemnly
The 28-year-old player from Zilina in Slovakia started driving early. There was a lot going on mountain biking. He quickly became known as someone who did not like everyone.
While others thought it was important to have the right equipment, Peter Sagan mostly gave the bark. He could ride in the running shoes go on the drink bottles there was only water.
It is said that he got up in the Slovak bicycle mug with a bike that he had borrowed from his sister. By mistake, he had sold his own bike. He won the race with a simple sports bike with bad equipment and braking the brakes.
– A wonderful talent
But what's so special about Peter Sagan?
– He is a unique talent. He has a unique and innate physique that is rare to see. He has a very wise bicycle head, he is always in the right place at the right time. This is the reason for being cycling sport, especially in the form of spurts. That's what he wins over and over again, says former cyclist and world champion Thor Hushovd
– He can win several stages here at the Tour de France, he's so good, praises Hushovd.
Alexander Kristoff pointed to Sagan as the man to beat before the start of the Tour on Saturday.
– The story has a total package that no one else has. It has a repertoire that few can match. He's in pain, he's climbing up, he can climb like a rock climbing on a good day, and he's good on classic scenes, "says Kristoff.
Mads Kaggestad, former top cyclist and TV 2 expert, can not completely beat Peter Sagan.
– He entered the sport as a shot and started winning already as a freshman. Everyone realized that there was something special about him. He probably saves a lot of effort because he is so relaxed and has such good control. It is rare to see that history falls. He is believed on the bike, says Kaggestad.
– And then he trains hard. He is versatile, the tournament clean. He is gentle and has a huge static force. I have never seen the bicycle athlete bike race that he does. Its capacity is enormous, says the expert of television 2.
