Video: Peter Sagan turns MC to introduce his team at E3 Harelbeke

Peter Sagan's antics on a podium in Flanders have once again been grabbing attention - and, this time, nothing else - as he introduced his Tinkoff team mates at the start of today's E3 Harelbeke in the Flemish Ardennes.

Running through the line-up which includes his brother Juraj, the Italian Oscar Gatto and Great Britain's Adam Blythe, he drew laughs from fans, photographers and fellow pros from BMC Racing as he introduced the Austrian rider Michael Gogl as "Google Maps."

Asked who would finish second to him today, Sagan said "I am not Copperfield" - a reference to the American illusionist, David - and was told by the announcer, "You're better than Copperfield," to which the world champion replied, "Yeah, maybe after I go to Las Vegas and make some shows."

Sagan hit the headlines at the Tour of Flanders in 2013 when he finished second to Fabian Cancellara and pinched the bottom of podium hostess Maja Leye who said afterwards that she briefly considered giving him a slap, but managed to keep her composure.

The Slovakian rider was back on the podium at the end of the race but on the second step as he was beaten in the finale by his predecessor as world champion, Michal Kwiatkowski of Team Sky - and on a great day for the British team, Ian Stannard, who had been able to sit in among a chasing group including Trek Segafredo's Fabian Cancellara, finished third.
