Have you noticed the dominant one?
The rider who seems to wear green most often this year is Peter Sagan. He has worn green jerseys, ridden green bikes, worn green sunglasses, has green eyes, and if I was a rival sprinter - I'd be green with envy because Peter Sagan sure can ride a bike! At age 22, he is not exactly an overnight sensation, but he is making is mark this year. Who is this kid and what is his story?
I started snapping pictures like crazy of Peter Sagan when I recently saw him at the Amgen Tour of California in May. Sometimes I have a sense that I am taking photographs for later use, later when they become a really big deal. Yup, I'd say I didn't have to wait long, it is time to share some recent photographs of Sagan. But first some stories and bios from others in the press:
