With his win in the Grand Prix Cycliste de Quebec, Peter Sagan (Bora-Hansgrohe) joins the elite ranks as one of only a handful of riders to mark one hundred professional road victories and earns himself a place alongside the likes of Eddy Merckx, Sean Kelly and Tom Boonen in the history books.
Only a select group of cyclists from each generation can claim the feat, with Sagan joining Mark Cavendish (Dimension Data), Andre Greipel (Lotto-Soudal) and Alejandro Valverde (Movistar) in the current peloton.
The 27-year-old Slovakian already has two world championships titles, a Tour of Flanders victory and eight Tour de France stages in his first eight seasons as a professional.

Currently in his prime, Sagan is a favourite in an array of race scenarios, and his winning streak doesn’t look set to stop anytime soon.
