Video: Peter Sagan debuts new world champion's kit and shows off 2017 Specialized Venge
World champion Peter Sagan has been pictured in the rainbow jersey he will be sporting this year with his new team, Bora-Hansgrohe.
Besides the names of the German UCI WorldTour team’s sponsors, it also bears two-time world champion Sagan’s own personal brand logo on the back.
Team manager Ralph Denk said: “Obviously, it is a special moment in the life of a team manager to present a World Champions jersey. I am very proud and thankful that I am awarded this honour now.
“Peter is once again the ‘eye catcher’ in the peloton, this is also important for our sponsors. We decided to put Peter’s own logo on the backside of the jersey as a special ‘thank you’ for his outstanding performances the last years.”
Sagan said: “I am proud to wear again the rainbow jersey, now in the lights of Bora-Hansgrohe.
“But with the new year also the records start from zero again, now again hard work will be the basis for success. With my new team, I am sure, we are on track so far.”

The Slovak rider has also been showing off the Specialized Venge bike he will be riding this season, which comes with an iridescent silver paintjob – a subtle nod to his status as world champion, with the word ‘iridescent’ having its root in the Latin ‘iris,’ which means ‘rainbow’.

Sagan is currently in South Australia preparing for this month’s Tour Down Under, and found time ahead of the New Year to pop in on former Tinkoff team mate, Michael Rogers, who retired last year due to a heart condition.

Simon joined road.cc as news editor in 2009 and is now the site’s community editor, acting as a link between the team producing the content and our readers. A law and languages graduate, published translator and former retail analyst, he has reported on issues as diverse as cycling-related court cases, anti-doping investigations, the latest developments in the bike industry and the sport’s biggest races. Now back in London full-time after 15 years living in Oxford and Cambridge, he loves cycling along the Thames but misses having his former riding buddy, Elodie the miniature schnauzer, in the basket in front of him.
Similar, but this one is animated with BOLAS.

Yes but there are only 3 or 4 main apps and I find mipermit and ringgo cover where I go.
Slightly embarrassed to say that I have never heard of them, but then I wonder if that might also say something about their marketing reach?
Most people who are sports riding with their friends using an E-assist bike don't need or use the motor assistance on the flat because they are...
Yea but its only a bike. <shrug>
Editors choice ...clearly the editor of this rag is coining' it! #Rolling-in-cash!
I have played Velogames before so will probably go back there too.
Probably a Suffering Bastard, or perhaps for the Velominati types, an Old-Fashioned. Hopefully not a Rusty Nail, anyway....
Thanks to everyone who made this the best cycling fantasy game I've come across. I dropped out last season after deciding it was just to addictive....
