Total Energies Team is a very well known team in France as it always had popular riders with the French population such as Thomas Voekler and Sylvain Chavanel.
This time the “little” French team has signed a two years contract with the most influential professional rider; Peter Sagan.

Peter Sagan’s Clan
The Sagan’s clan consist of Juraj Sagan, Daniel Oss and Maciej Bodnar. But also sports director Ján Valach, a mechanic, a trainer and his own press officer. Yes that’s a team within a team!
But there is even more to the story. Specialized brand image is so much tied with Peter Sagan; the big American brand followed and is now sponsor of Total Energies team 2022.
Another brand marketing department understood the move and also followed, that is Sportful clothes. The team jerseys are now made by Sportful.
