Peter is hands-down the superstar of modern cycling. The Slovak sprinter, who has already reached the sport’s highest levels, dreams of flashing a V for victory during the Tour de France and maybe even winning the Green Jersey. He will have several openings during the three-week race to take the lead in the final sprint.

Edvald Boasson-Hagen
