A Chat Between Romain Bardet and Peter Sagan: Cycling, Coffee, and Chasing Dreams
Romain Bardet: Hey Peter, it’s great to finally sit down and chat. We’ve raced each other countless times, but there’s never been a quiet moment to just talk.
Peter Sagan: Absolutely, Romain! It’s about time we took a break from all the pedaling. Speaking of breaks, do you want another espresso?
Romain Bardet: I would love one, thanks! So, Peter, what’s the secret behind those epic finishes of yours? I’ve seen you pull off some incredible sprints.
Peter Sagan: A lot of it is pure instinct, man. But honestly, it’s also about positioning and timing. And maybe a bit of Slovakian magic, who knows?
Romain Bardet: (laughing) I believe it! For me, it’s the mountains that call. There’s something about the challenge and the solitude up there that I love. How do you keep your motivation high when the going gets tough?
Peter Sagan: Motivation can be tricky. Sometimes it’s fans, sometimes it’s personal goals. But mainly, it’s about loving what you do. I mean, can you imagine doing anything else?
Romain Bardet: Not really. Cycling has given my life so much direction and purpose. Speaking of purpose, I’ve been working on some environmental causes. What about you—any projects beyond the bike?
Peter Sagan: Yeah, I’m really into promoting a healthy lifestyle and getting more kids into cycling. If we can inspire the next generation, that’s a huge win.
Romain Bardet: That’s fantastic, Peter. It’s so important to give back. Now, let me ask you a fun question: what’s the craziest fan encounter you’ve ever had?
Peter Sagan: Oh man, there have been so many! Once, a fan handed me a beer while I was climbing. It was too funny—I had to laugh and take a sip! What about you?
Romain Bardet: (grinning) I had a fan run alongside me dressed as a giant croissant during the Tour de France. I couldn’t stop laughing—it was surreal.
Peter Sagan: (chuckling) Sounds like a classic Tour de France moment! Well, Romain, here’s to many more adventures on and off the bike.
Romain Bardet: Cheers to that, Peter! Let’s keep pushing boundaries and having fun while we’re at it.
And with that, the two cycling legends clinked their espresso cups, eager for the next chapter of their journeys.
