Peter Sagan Scheldeprijs training ride (Tinkoff video still via Twitter).JPGVideos: A very relaxed Peter Sagan - on and off the bike
Peter Sagan has a new-found spring in his step after his wins at Gent-Wevelgem and the Tour of Flanders – and he certainly seems in a very relaxed mood in this video from a training ride yesterday ahead of today’s Scheldeprijs as he pulls wheelies and generally has a lot of fun on the bike.
Victory at Gent-Wevelgem lifted any talk of the world champion being a victim of the curse of the rainbow jersey, while Sunday’s win at Flanders ended any arguments about whether he would ever win a Monument.
Even if you are dead serious, you can enjoy what you do. At least @petosagan did duringTuesday's training ridehttps://t.co/mwkxJ43DUR

The Slovak rider has ridden Paris-Roubaix three times – he finished 86th on his debut in 2011 and in 23rd place last year, with his best result being the 6th he achieved in 2014.
That hasn’t stopped the bookies from installing him as joint favourite alongside Trek-Segafredo’s Fabian Cancellara, three times a winner at Paris-Roubaix and riding the race for the final time as he seeks his eighth and final victory in a Monument.
The team also tweeted a video showing how Sagan relaxed after winning what many believe to be the biggest one-day race in the sport on Sunday – by taking his remote-controlled car for a spin. He’s not too bad at tricks with that either.
Find out what @petosagan does to relax after a well-deserved win at @RondeVlaanderenhttps://t.co/m5ZDw39wrW

Some Highways Authorities insist on over engineered designs, and that might have happened here. They should be following Local Transport Note 1/20.

The cycling one is interesting. The RC car one... not so much. To anyone else: you can close it after 10 or 20s, you've seen everything there is to see.
