I was part of the team manning the 72 mile rest stop. When the group with Sagan came through, they were all chill with him, gave him lots of room and let him relax. Lots of local fans and rest stop groupies wanted a selfie with Sagan and he was nice to everyone. You could see some of the group heading out, but he stayed and was the people champion. I didn't get any moisture from him, but he did bite into a cookie and some of fell in the dirt. As soon as he wasn't looking, I scooped it up and ate it right away. I figured some Sagan DNA was invaluable to my training.
The coolest and most important thing Sagan did on this ride wasn't how he put is jersey into the pocket (any pro can do that) but how attentive he is to what is going on up ahead. At 5:29 he gets up to try and get a better view and at 5:34 you see him clearly waving to squeeze to right to avoid those crazy plastic bollards in the median. That's pro experience -thinking about what's going to happen, not just what is happening. An event like this is frought with opportunities for crashes. Many people, road not closed, people wanting to talk with Sagan, chase the KOM etc. Looks like a great ride and glad you're able to show it, but crowds like this aren't my thing.
He's stretching his legs there. He doesn't see the obstruction until almost right on top of it at 5:33 which is why he has a wobble. You rely on other riders upfront to see what is going on ahead and signal, this wasn't helped by the rider who decided to cross the median line and block everyone's view of the posts!
Vegan just know when mere mortals like us get to ride with you, we kinda think the same way you do riding around Sagan. Kinda. Awesome footage bro. Nice job.
OMG Bro after "annointed" when I heard Morpheus' voice saying "He is The One" with the angelic music and the space cat rainbow clouds...bro I lost it 😂😂😂😂😂
Great video...had my fan boy moment back in the "Lance" days...trying to stay with his group...had to drop back. Poor me...then out of nowhere...I'm riding next to Eddy Merckx. Lance who?
Dude, literally my first comment on a youtube video after like 10 years, but just had to share my appreciation for your awesome videos. Great variety of content, all of which I love, as well as your honesty and humour. Your videos give me so much inspiration to ride, so thank you!
Toby, on my personal account I have made one comment on a RUclips video in 10 years myself, so I take your comment with a very high value. I appreciate your support and you taking the time to drop me some love here bro.
Literally laughed through this whole video lol. Side note... I raced your son on Zwift. First race I won on there. Then I realized I was only racing 3 other people and one was an 8 year old lol. He did great though!
This is gold. Deserves a million views, the accordion music while you're wearing your plaid is genius, made me laugh out loud. Honestly dude, a great watch. I hope the rider who crashed is OK.
Really well done Video. Kudos to the real star of this production, Your son. As for the ride? Peter Sagan is my favorite cyclist. But, I think a little less of him after watching this. It seems as he just put his name on the ride and used it as a hard training exercise. Now, everyone should never ride over their skill level, but Sagan had to know riders would try to hang with him on the decents. Sagan never gave the possible danger on the downhills one thought. If he was a true host, he could have ridden up and down the entire ride giving everyone a special moment riding with him. I hope the riders who crashed are ok, and I particularly hope the woman who broke her hip ( a really serious injury) heals and does not have her life turned upside down
Riding next to Peter Sagan that is an Amazing thrill, but riding next to your Son.... Now, that is Priceless. I am 50 years old and have a 6 , almost 5 and a 3yr old with one on the way. I am so excited to one day have the opportunity to enjoy a nice road ride with all of them. Thanks for sharing that precious moment with your Son. Oh, and I am just getting back into Crit racing since 2005 as a Vegan.
It blows my mind that we watch the tour and go 'oh he's a sprinter he's slow up hills' and then you do any ride with someone who isn't even pro they're just 'up there' and they absolutely inhale every climb regardless of body type.
Not stopping at the rest stops would suck. As much as I like Sagan, I think I'd rather ride with Phil Gaimon, as he's taking it totally easy and not trying to kill the people in his Fondo. Of course, he's also not Sagan.
Nice ride! Talk about luck. Appreciate your humour, and your reverence for the 'eliteness' of those pros. It's all about perspective as I sit here watching your awesome rides with similar respect and admiration. Kudos! Ride safe.
That was a great video. I am a HUGE Peter Sagan fan. I am 48 years old and just started cycling in October 2018. I follow you on Zwift and now on RUclips. Thanks for making and sharing this video. I’m jealous you got to ride with “The Chosen One.” See you on Zwift.
I felt the same stoked when I rode with Peter Sagan in San Diego back when he just got the WC before Tour of Cali. He is just an amazing rider and very strong rider. Also a rockstar!
Sagan's mist gives a +5% to watts for 2 hours. Great video and nice job in staying toe to toe with these crushers. However... this seemed to be quite a dangerous ride. I would die on a rock on right side of the road at 14:28 :D
Looks like a great time. I did the Jens Voigt Gran Fondo a few years ago...didn't get to ride with him, but did some pix. Getting to ride with Sagan must have been amazing.
I really don't understand why anybody could give this video a thumbs down. Jealous perhaps? Super video. Your boy looks so good with the Poc and the famous brand glasses.
i met peter by coincidence in 2017 while cycling the mountains above Monaco. we were having a flyby and then he stopped to fill up his water bottles. i yelled „hey peter“ and he waved at me. took a picture together, magic moment. :)
Dude this guy is so darn funny I feel like if Sagan ever saw this video he would without any questions get him on his team just for his jokes beautiful people like him keep people like us alive during this corna thing I still can't believe his optimism on Sagan accedentally spitting on him but the funniest of all the locked eyes moment.
Dude, you are the best Cycling Film Maker ever, the jokes, the images, the editing, you just naild it. Btw, your son is going smash you in a couple of years, that dude is awosome!
Dude 3 things 1. You smashed it 2. The game changer doc wich is produce by family of a friend finally motivate me to vegan 3. Next time talk Italian to Sagan or a little bad word in talian and for sure you will have his attention
Documentray of vc tryng to speak to his crush
LMAO

loopie007 🤣
Wth hahahaha
For you sir, my respect.
Only 7 minutes in and I'm laughing. "Being annointed by his mist"
Unless one travelled to China :}
I haven’t had a laugh like that in a while! That part was hilarious.
best part lol
hahahahaha Hilarious!
Hahaha
The title should be “riding next to Peter Segan drooling over his existence” 😂😂
Exactly
why not, Sagan is the man..:)
Sagan is the chosen one so why not
Damn that's epic, Peter Sagan got to ride with his hero VC
That vest, dude my kids cracked up every time you showed it. The ability to laugh at yourself is such a great quality.
Sagan spat and blows all over this dude
dude: "it's ok coz he's the chosen one" you made me laugh for about a minute there
HAHAHA

8638marc Great comment, nailed it 👍
Is ‘stalking’ a Federal offence? Dude, the FBI will be seizing this footage 😃
P.S. Helen Pierce out of Chicago is a good attorney. Or so I heard…

Everyone gangsta until they're hit with a climb
Vegan just know when mere mortals like us get to ride with you, we kinda think the same way you do riding around Sagan. Kinda. Awesome footage bro. Nice job.
I can second this!
this is the most fanboydom ever lol
OMG Bro after "annointed" when I heard Morpheus' voice saying "He is The One" with the angelic music and the space cat rainbow clouds...bro I lost it 😂😂😂😂😂

My kid just turned 5... I would love to ride with him in 3 years... props to you, and cheers to fatherhood.
The most epic vid i've ever laid eyes on! SKILLS, Incredible SKILLS VC!
Literally laughed through this whole video lol. Side note... I raced your son on Zwift. First race I won on there. Then I realized I was only racing 3 other people and one was an 8 year old lol. He did great though!
Hahaha. Hey, a victory is a victory ;-)

I couldn't agree more, literally turns, see a wreck and keeps going...
the mist of the chosen one!!!!!
i bet VC hasn't washed his face since then
at "annointed" I totally lost it 😂😂😂😂😂
Christopher Cummings died laughing 😹😹😹
I love how excited you are just to be around Sagan
Riding next to Peter Sagan that is an Amazing thrill, but riding next to your Son.... Now, that is Priceless. I am 50 years old and have a 6 , almost 5 and a 3yr old with one on the way.

Just died of laughter in this, amazing edits. Really love the footage
Re watched with my family. Great stuff in there for all. Keep doing what you are doing.
It was a pleasure riding and supporting your brand, VC. Any time you come back down to SoCal let us know. We’ll be there en mass.
Every time I watch this and the part where you are "featuring" your vest with that music...I can't help but just crack up....
Laughed so hard at the spit part.... 😂 funniest VC edit hands down.
Proud to see parents involved kids. Positive energy💪💪
I love people’s faces when they see him vlogging himself
Best cycling video of the yr so far from anyone, freaking hilarious.
Not stopping at the rest stops would suck. As much as I like Sagan, I think I'd rather ride with Phil Gaimon, as he's taking it totally easy and not trying to kill the people in his Fondo. Of course, he's also not Sagan.
Just tuning in to your channel bro. This one had me crying! The magic spit spray and the vest music was epic! Well done.
Damn dude your videos are so inspiring!
I just wanna ride now. It's 2am tho.
Your Peter Sagan voice is spot on. Scary good.
So 😎 cool, this is probably the best video of riding with Peter Sagan that I have seen. Please keep doing it! So fun to watch.
"no vegan options, that's ok, life still rips" you should print that T-shirt. enjoyed this immensely
“ I thought he was gonna have Bora Hans Bros around him ”🤣 dude that shit had me weak! Cycling body guards😂
I think that was my favorite part!
"Bora Hans Bros" such poetry right? Haha
Amazing video man! The part that you speak with HUGE PRIDE of your son, is fenomenal! GREAT!
Nice ride! Talk about luck. Appreciate your humour, and your reverence for the 'eliteness' of those pros. It's all about perspective as I sit here watching your awesome rides with similar respect and admiration. Kudos! Ride safe.

Met him in Paris two years ago and I got him to sign my T shirt like I was an 11 year old girl at a One D concert. Very nice guy.
I felt the same stoked when I rode with Peter Sagan in San Diego back when he just got the WC before Tour of Cali. He is just an amazing rider and very strong rider. Also a rockstar!
Prob my Fav cycling vid on youtube, awesome work VC
Dude you had me cracking up with the vest and accordian!
Awesome video, dude. So nice to see sunny roads. Damn I miss Cali on a day like this.
love the story about vest!!! hahah :)
Those sunnies on the kid!! Fabulous man...kids doing sports that right way...also fabulous.
Awesome ride indeed! Nowhere near you of Sagan though. Great vid...your kid was killing it! Kudos to him!
Awesome vid and I totally get how proud you were of your son. Great memories all around.
That vest is a catastrophe the world has ended hahahahha Nice video bud, shout out from a -10 degree weather in Illinois!
Connecticut here... Agreed! Extremely envious of anyone cycling in 60+ weather in February....
Sagan's mist gives a +5% to watts for 2 hours. Great video and nice job in staying toe to toe with these crushers. However... this seemed to be quite a dangerous ride. I would die on a rock on right side of the road at 14:28 :D
I watch this at least once a week for motivation. Gold 👌👍
Such a great watch! Lol at being anointed !!!! Dude your music choice and edits are money.
Looks like a great time. I did the Jens Voigt Gran Fondo a few years ago...didn't get to ride with him, but did some pix. Getting to ride with Sagan must have been amazing.
Great video! 'The mist of the chosen one !' Ha ha ha.
Brilliant!
This is the first VC video I've watched in a while and it's incredible how much better your editing has gotten! Well done bro
That vest and the music, so good man!
That is amazing!! Great job!
You were both awesome, your such a good dad!
Good video VC!! Thanks man
I really don't understand why anybody could give this video a thumbs down. Jealous perhaps? Super video. Your boy looks so good with the Poc and the famous brand glasses.
The mist of the chosen one. Like button smashed.
It feels soooo good when literally anyone praises somebody from Slovakia(I´m from Slovakia so you know... patriotic feelings kick in)
Your videos are hilarious. You said Peter Sagan anointed you with his spit. Crazy!
Can we take a moment of silence and admire how blasted sagan's calf is
i met peter by coincidence in 2017 while cycling the mountains above Monaco. we were having a flyby and then he stopped to fill up his water bottles. i yelled „hey peter“ and he waved at me. took a picture together, magic moment. :)

Great video and commentary. Straight laughs all the way!
That’s cool
What a good memories with kids and wife
That absolutely inspiring
Dude! This is the way a LOT of people would feel being in a ride with YOU!! I know I would. Of course I could stay with you for maybe a 1/2 mile!
Great video man. Loved it. VC you are the greatest 😊
You are funny as hell. The vest polka music had me laughing out loud
Mate this is hilarious! One of the funniest videos you’ve done 👊🏼

Great video & thanks for sharing. So awesome 👌
Love the puffy vest music! Ride on Mr. Trend Setter!!!

"I love cheese, man"
Can't argue with that.
Really enjoyed this video. Best wishes from Ireland .
This is one of my favorites ...I can't stop laughing...dude you were awesome!!
The national anthem is played before a bike ride 😂
And two Russian flags on the start banner.
They probably play it before entering the bathroom
'Murica
Im from the US and that was stupid as fuck haha
Well we do the same in Slovakia and look where’s our big boy 😏
You Made me Happy watching this video , Great Riding with Sagan , inspired a lot . I watch all your videos . LOVE FROM INDIA
That’s the great thing about cycling, You get to engage/ride with the pros. You’d never be able to play basketball with Lebron.
Or Kobe
@@printhisvideo sarcasm?
@@ugastronomie1237 Of course
💙🧡 Happy Valentine's day ❤️💜
Sagan didn´t impress me, Zabel didn´t impress me, your son definitely did!
My son blew my mind. I still think about how awesome that day was.
this is too good lmao, love this channel
Best video ever brother, keep up the good work 👍💪👍💪
funniest vid yet! full body laughs. Spectacular
Story teller of legend. Bruh, Peter almost rode with your son dude, that epic! Wow 🙌🏽
Dude 3 things 1. You smashed it 2. The game changer doc wich is produce by family of a friend finally motivate me to vegan 3. Next time talk Italian to Sagan or a little bad word in talian and for sure you will have his attention
Whoa! So cool that Erik Zabel pops up.
Duude. Those glasses are bliiinngg! Can't wait to get a pair of those gold lenses.
I want such an awesome vest too, and accordion music kicking in whenever I wear it
Being a good dad and a fan boy at the same time is the coolest thing ive seen as a son.
Not good but great
Great video, thanks for sharing.
Nice one today brah.... perfect during my Sunday morning stretch and java!
Great music. Nice work VC🤙
