Golf ball (licensed CC BY SA 2.0 by Silas Grok on Twitter).JPGGolf is the new cycling ... for Peter Sagan (+ video)
We’ve lost count of the number of stories we’ve seen in the mainstream press* headlined “cycling is the new golf” – but it turns out that for road world champion Peter Sagan, golf is the new cycling.
