Team TotalEnergies made it official Tuesday that three-time World Champion Peter Sagan would be part of the French ProTeam for the upcoming two seasons, 2022-2023, departing from Bora-Hansgrohe at the end of this year.

The second year of the new contract coincides with the next terms for WorldTour three-year licences to become available, a target for the second-tier programme, which has relied on a wild card invitation to compete at the Tour de France.
