World champion Sagan to join Bora-Hansgrohe from 2017 (Reuters)

(Reuters) – World champion Peter Sagan has signed a three-year deal to join German team Bora-Hansgrohe from Russian outfit Tinkoff, starting in 2017, his new team said on Monday. The 26-year-old Slovak, who has been with Tinkoff since 2015, won the points leader’s green jersey for a fifth straight year in last month’s Tour de France. Sagan’s Tinkoff teammates Maciej Bodnar, Michael Kolar and Erik Baska, and his elder brother, Juraj Sagan, are also moving to the German team.
