Peter Sagan has confirmed he will not use disc brakes in Saturday's Strade Bianche, saying he is only in favour of the UCI's trial of the new braking technology if the whole peloton uses the same braking system.
The world champion has used a Specialized disc brake bike in training several times so far this season but has always switched to rim brakes for races.
When asked by Cyclingnews if he will use disc brakes in Strade Bianche, he said: "I don't think I'll use them…"

When asked to explain why, he added: "There's a reason. I agree with using disc brakes if everyone in the peloton uses them - not only a few people."
Asked if it was for safety reasons, he said: "No, not for safety. Safety left cycling a while ago..."
Sagan later confirmed to Cyclingnews that the risk of losing time - and perhaps a race - due to a slow wheel or bike change was his biggest concern.
'I'm here to win - why am I here otherwise?'
