Sagan is an absolute cycling legend: He won the Road World Championships three times in 2015, 2016 and 2017 and took the sprint classification of the Tour de France seven times. Now a new challenge awaits: Sagan is lacing up his dancing shoes and taking on the "Let's dance" competition.

Sagan won the Road World Championships in 2015, 2016 and 2017, making him the only roadie to have won this title three times in a row. Winning the Tour de France sprint classification seven times is also a benchmark.

The 35-year-old competed in road races until June 2024 and wanted to prepare for the Olympic mountain bike competition in Paris 2024. After heart problems and two medical interventions, he was unable to realize his mountain bike plans at the end of his career.

Now Sagan is taking on a new challenge: with dance partner Eliška Lenčešová, Sagan is entering the dance ring and will take part in the upcoming season of the Slovakian TV show Let's Dance. On Instagram, the cycling legend himself announced that he would be transforming himself from a sprinter to a disco dancer.
