Bora-hansgrohe’s Sagan, who has opted to make his Giro debut in October, said: “I promised the Giro before the date changed.

“I really want to respect that promise.

You cannot have everything in this world, sometimes you have to make hard decisions along the way.”

The Giro was moved to follow the Tour once the calendar was revised due to coronavirus.
