Peter Sagan apologises for behaviour – Peter Sagan said in a November 22 Facebook post that he “[offered his] most sincere apologies”. “It was an ugly experience that made me think profoundly and draw valuable lessons.” The Slovak cyclist is referring to his €5000 fine for the offence of resisting arrest. He had been stopped by police in Monaco on April 25, while breaking the curfew and in a state of intoxication. Peter Sagan resisted so much that he injured a policeman in the hand. “He explained his anger by the fear that he would be forcibly vaccinated,” said the magistrate at the trial.
