so is Sagan going to Alonso then?

Not sure - Tinkoff is busy insulting Peter Sagan for not signing with him - could be some kind of marketing ploy. Maybe Alonso is going to get his team of the ground in time if he still wants to sign with him. The rest of the Cannondale team are all in talks with Vaughters so it looks like that the Slipsteam deal is on the go.

BRATISLAVA, Slovakia (AFP) — Tour de France green jersey winner Peter Sagan will join Tinkoff-Saxo next season, the Slovak daily Sport said on Tuesday.

It claimed the Russian-owned team would probably officially announce the deal after Thursday’s stage 5 of the Tour of Poland.

“The three-time winner of the green jersey from the Tour de France has signed a contract with the team of Russian entrepreneur Oleg Tinkov,” the report said.

Although the 24-year-old Slovak, currently with Italian team Cannondale, won the Tour’s green jersey for the third year in a row last month, he failed to win a stage this year.

He has had a fairly unsuccessful season by his high standards, with victories at E3 Harelbeke and the Slovakian national road race on his palmares.

He was second in Strade Bianche, third at Gent-Welvelgem, sixth in Paris-Roubaix, and 10th at Milano-Sanremo.

Sagan also finished second in four Tour stages while coming fourth in another four.

Sagan was courted by Astana as well as the new Spanish team being built for next season by Formula One star Fernando Alonso, the report said.

Maybe Tinkoff must start worrying that his arrogance won't start offending potential signers

Well it's Thursday and we await the official announcement. . Cause claims and sources don't work for me.

I think Mr Tickoff will put unrealistic expectations onto Mr Sagan, he is still young and does not need this kind of pressure or expectations.

. Imagine what Riis will be able to do with Sagan..yoh yoh..

 

Besides possibly turning him to an even better rider they will manage his season better.

Wow

Expected

 

It'll take some adjusting hey

I think for Sagan this is the best move. . Cannondale have been relying heavily on him to get results the whole season,.. . I do think under Riis he will really be managed better (calender and strategy wise)
