Peter Sagan (Bora-Hansgrohe) will mark his 30th birthday on January 26 by tackling his first race day of the 2020 season on the opening stage of the Vuelta a San Juan, which runs until February 2.

It will be Sagan’s second appearance in the Argentinian race after he made his debut a year ago, though on that occasion, he had already raced – and won – at the Tour Down Under in Australia. Sagan has previously competed on three occasions at the Tour de San Luis in Argentina. Sagan’s 2020 calendar sees the Giro d’Italia and Tokyo Olympics added to a programme that, as ever, includes the Classics and the Tour de France, hence the lighter January schedule on this occasion.
