Peter Sagan’s “Green Machine”
What else can you say about Peter Sagan – three stage wins, a Green jersey, and a very cool no-handed wheelie at the finish of stage seven – awesome pretty much sums it up. The humble 22-year-old rode three SRAM RED-2012 equipped Cannondale SuperSix EVO bikes at this year’s Tour, starting with his team issue bike, then a custom painted “Tourminator” after his first stage win, and finally the “Green Machine” for the final stage.
Sagan’s Green Machine’s RED-2012 gruppo was accented with a custom “beserker” green (instead of the standard SRAM color, PMS 186). The gruppo was hand delivered the final Friday of the Tour, July 20, by SRAM’s Jason Phillips. The green accented RED-2012 will only be available for select 2014 Cannondale road bikes.
Metz, Boulogne sur Mer and Seraing, the three cities where he won!
