An Engaging Discussion with Fabian Cancellara and Peter Sagan
Fabian Cancellara: Hey Peter, it’s great to catch up. Long time no see! How’s everything going with you?
Peter Sagan: Fabian! It’s been ages. Things are good, just staying busy with training and planning out some future races. How about you? Retirement treating you well?
Fabian Cancellara: Retirement has been amazing, actually. I miss the adrenaline of racing sometimes, but I’ve found new challenges in business and staying active in different ways.
Peter Sagan: I saw you launched your “Chasing Cancellara” series. That must be a blast, getting to ride with fans and enthusiasts.
Fabian Cancellara: Absolutely. It’s truly rewarding. The passion and energy from everyone keeps the cycling spirit alive for me. Plus, it’s always fun to try and drop them on a tough climb! (Laughs)
Peter Sagan: I bet! Speaking of tough climbs, do you ever miss the rush of tackling those epic ones during the Classics?
Fabian Cancellara: Definitely. Paris-Roubaix, Tour of Flanders—those races have a special place in my heart. They took a lot out of us, but the victories made it all worth it. And you? Still feeling the butterflies before big races?
Peter Sagan: Always. The nerves and excitement never go away. Every race is a new challenge, and that keeps me motivated. Plus, it’s fun to experiment and see what new strategies work out there.
Fabian Cancellara: (Smiling) Classic Sagan, eager to try something new. I remember watching some of your moves and thinking, “That guy has guts!”
Peter Sagan: (Laughs) Thanks, Fabian. Coming from you, that’s a huge compliment. Speaking of which, any tips for sustaining that endurance and power on the bike? You were a machine!
Fabian Cancellara: (Grinning) Consistency and passion, my friend. Stick to the basics: good training routines, proper nutrition, and never losing sight of why you started cycling in the first place. And always have fun with it!
Peter Sagan: Wise words, as always. Maybe we’ll ride together sometime soon. Show the young guns how it’s done?
Fabian Cancellara: For sure, Peter. Let’s make it happen. It’ll be just like old times—only maybe a bit slower! (Laughs)
Peter Sagan: (Laughs) You got it, Fabian. Until then, take care and keep inspiring everyone!
Fabian Cancellara: You too, Peter. Keep pushing those limits. See you out on the road!
