Not only brother Juraj Sagan, but also Erik Baška will not continue alongside the three-time world champion, who will be in the service of the French team TotalEnergies for two years from January 1, 2022.
Both confirmed this during the race Around Slovakia, where Peter Sagan became the overall winner in the colors of the Bora-Hansgrohe team.

Twenty – seven year old Baška for Sportnet explained:
“I haven’t signed a contract yet. But I’m definitely not going to TotalEnergies.
I would also be grateful for the Pro team, but now there is a bit of a crisis and at the same time the younger competitors have started to sign big. We’ll see what happens in the end. “
The former solid sprinter and European champion under 23 from 2015 this season has no results that would please him.
It is also caused by the fact that Baška overcame the COVID-19 disease at the turn of winter and spring and ran harder after it.
He finished 87th overall in Around Slovakia, the twentieth in the introductory prologue.

However, the next Sunday, the World Championships in Flanders, Belgium, await him, where he will help Peter Sagan to achieve a good result.
“We have already seen the track. It is quite good, although it will go 268 kilometers. We will try to save as much energy as possible, ride positively and support Peter. Then it will be about him as every year, “Baška stated.
