Reports have said athletes may have to
quarantine ahead of the Tokyo Games, and with the Tour finishing
less than a week before the scheduled road race, cyclists could
face a tough choice.
"We will see what’s going to happen this year. I cannot decide,
we don’t know yet. But if I have to choose... for sure I will go
for (the Tour de France) green jersey again," said Sagan,
speaking from a Bora-Hansgrohe team training camp near the Lago
Di Garda, Italy.
"But nobody knows what’s going to happen."
Sagan has won a record seven green jersey for the points
classification on the Tour de France.
He failed to secure it last year, however, after the cycling
season went through a four-and-a-half-month hiatus amid the
COVID-19 crisis.
The 30-year-old Sagan, one of the most gifted riders of his
generation, won three consecutive world championship road race
titles in from 2015-17.
