About this audiobook
Peter Sagan, at just twenty-eight years of age, is already one of cycling's greatest riders of all time. With four Tour de France points jersey victories, three road race world championships, the 2018 Paris-Roubaix, and multiple spring classics among Sagan's palmares, the world of cycling agrees that this intense, yet fun-loving rider is among the most dominant and fun-to-watch riders of his generation.
In My World, for the very first time, bike racing fans will have the opportunity to glimpse behind the scenes of Sagan's cycling life, revealing the full extent of his dedication to competition and determination to win. They will learn about his relationship with fellow riders, his heroes, and how he copes with the expectation of success. He will share technical details about his preparation, dissect the art of the sprint, and analyze the tactics that play out during a fiercely competitive stage or race.
If the rainbow jersey comes with a curse, what happens when you win three? Meet the real Peter Sagan in My World and find out why cycling's most interesting personality never takes winning too seriously.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5What's nice is that Sagan goes beyond, "first I won this race, then I won this one." There's not a ton about training. The narrative is choppy and meandering. Very few women appear to be part of Sagan's world. But there are some nice descriptions of racing.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Good book if you follow bicycle racing and especially if you root for Sagan. He comes off as an intelligent, fun, kind person, who enjoys his sport and treats others well. Having watched many of the races he covers, I enjoyed getting his inside perspective. Might be pretty boring to someone who isn't a cycling fan, but good perspective on any sport from someone at the top of the game.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5An interesting look at the last couple of years of his cycling career. I did get the feeling this was written more by a ghost writer than Sagan - or he had a really good translator.
