Rumors about Peter
 

I’m hearing rumors that Peter Sagan might be retiring after the Giro next year.

Has anyone heard anything?

When I watched the video from his fan Q&A at his Gran Fondo last month, it didn't sound like he was planning to. Then again he could have changed.

nothing on his Facebook or media outlets

He said he wanted to ride the Giro before retiring.

He didn't say that the Giro would be his last race.

Reporters are f'in morons.

ahhh

that makes sense

I believe the "feeling" is he may either retire or cut back after a full schedule next year. He said he wanted to do the Giro before retiring, and next year was a good time to do it.

So, read into that whatever you will. :foo:

that makes perfect sense :thumb:

I wonder if he will do the TDF?

The Amgen Tour of California was perfect for Sagan, in terms of weather, attitude, skillset and California style of reportage. I actually think he is "bummed out" (as they say) that TOC is off the calendar for a year (or perhaps more.)

I have no idea how this affects his outlook towards retirement, but this has got to be an upcoming season he is not as excited about.

If they were having TOC, I'm not sure he would ride the Giro, it is not exactly his cup of tea, more of a "Bike Racer Bucket List" type of thing.

Cali is over rated

but a hell of a lot nicer than Europe.

Libs out there should just get the taxpayers to sponsor the event and keep it going

Hee haw.

agreed...now if we could just get a tenth of the population here to sally forth to underrated states,,,

easy

just quit offering free sh&t

ain't that easy. it's the bleeping weather. earthquakes, mudslides and firestorms be damned. one of the main reasons the toc sprang up in the first place.

probably correct on that

Keep that kind of opinion over in P&R. It doesn't belong here.

and what state are you in?

not one that is imploding itself

great article

thanks

hmm for a state that has gone from world's 7th largest economy some 20 years ago to currently world's 5th largest is imploding onto itself?
That's the type of reasoning I'd expect to hear from a person from a backwardwanker state! It's like them piss poor redstate welfare hillbillies. Yeah.

So even on here I have to read CA bashing.
Great.

look around

place ain’t affordable

mass homelessness and trash that’s associated with it

people leaving as quick as they can for lower taxes/cost of living

state that is eroding personal freedoms

economy based on government and not free market

ok

get those tax payers to pay for the tour of California

So a no-news thread about a guy that can foresee the end of his career has devolved into stupid political bull****, neat.

^by the op, yet. can’t even consider the thread hijacked, more like a delayed steal.

Cali is ripe for picking on (unless you are worth millions and can actually afford to live a good life there).
