This week Will and James are joined by Peter Sagan. When Sagan burst onto the scene in the early 2010s he was heralded as the greatest talent of his generation, and so he proved to be. 121 professional victories later he'd notched up three World Championships, seven Tour de France green jerseys, multiple Grand Tour stages and national titles plus a Tour of Flanders and a Paris-Roubaix cobble. Famed for his dry wit, flamboyant riding style and antics on and off the bike - from wheelies to running man celebrations - Sagan became cycling's poster boy for the better part of his 15 year career. Now retired, Sagan reflects on a life at the top, from the heady highs to the soul-searching lows; explains the importance of team dynamics; gives us his thoughts on today's riders; and opens up about a recently discovered heart condition that could have ended his life and has ended up costing him any further professional racing career. Will and James also discuss the UCI Cycling eSports World Championships, ridden on the MyWhoosh virtual racing platform, for whom Sagan is ambassador. The live UCI Cycling eSports final will take place on 26th October in Abu Dhabi and will see 20 competitors in both men's and women's events going head to head over three stages for a €60,000 prize purse. The event will be streamed live on YouTube here. Interview begins at 16.36 ---- Did you know Cyclist is also stunning monthly print magazine?
