Peter Sagan (Tinkoff) continued his laid-back, chilled-out approach to bike racing, even as the hours counted down to the start of the Tour de France, using his unique sense of humour mixed with sincerity and bravado to bat away questions during the Tinkoff team’s official press conference.
Sagan and Alberto Contador posed briefly for photographs but held separate press conferences. Contador’s was a serious affair, and the Spaniard gave little away about his form and future. Sagan, on the other hand, spent as much time pushing back his ever longer locks of hair as he did thinking of serious answers to the questions. Of course, he was sincere and reflective in some moments but still refuses to take himself and the pressures of the Tour de France too seriously.
Sagan only stayed silent when asked about his future. He has been linked to most of the big teams in the WorldTour, but his final destination for 2017 and beyond remains unclear.

"We’re only here to talk about the Tour de France," Gabriele Uboldi, the team’s sponsorship manager said, butting in to stop Sagan answering a question about his possible move to Bora-Argon 18.
Sagan was happy to talk about his philosophy of racing and winning.
"In my life, I think that every day is one chance, so why not try," he said, when asked if he will again try to win every day, as he had promised last year but then failed to do.
