Peter Sagan is preparing to make his surprise return to road racing at the Tour de Hongrie on Wednesday with the Slovakian team Pierre Baguette.

The three-time world champion ended his road career with TotalEnergies last year and turned his focus to racing mountain bikes to try to qualify for the Paris Olympics. However, his attempts were halted when he experienced abnormal heart rhythms and had to undergo surgery in February.
