The 2014 road season is well underway but just a few days before making his debut at the Tour de San Luis in Argentina, Peter Sagan and his Cannondale teammates held their final training camp in California. It was a last-chance effort for the WorldTour team to test TT bikes, with Sagan taking time to perfect his position on the velodrome.

The testing took place on a track near Los Angeles in California, having been scheduled by the team’s coach Sebastian Weber. The testing was to find new positions on the time trial bikes to find more effective, efficient and faster positions when racing against the clock.
