Tinkoff-Saxo signs Sagan

DENMARK-BASED team Tinkoff-Saxo says it has signed Slovak sprinter Peter Sagan, holder of the Tour de France’s green jersey, for a three-year period.

Team manager Bjarne Riis said yesterday that Sagan “has the ability to bring home victories”, adding the 24-year-old Slovak will leave Cannondale and join the Russian-owned team next year. Sagan proved the Tour’s best sprinter for the third straight year. He did not win a single stage but his consistency gave him a lead of more than 140 points in the best sprinter contest. Tinkoff-Saxo includes two-time Tour winner Alberto Contador of Spain who crashed out with injuries this year before the halfway mark.
