Although he continues in 2024 on a mountain bike,
Peter Sagan has called time on his legendary road career.
Oliver Naesen was a rival of the Slovakian during his time in the peloton and has recently reflected on Sagan's career.
"He wasn't a screamer," says the longtime servant of the
Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale Team in conversation with Cycling Weekly, describing the Slovakian as having 'silent class'. "Even though he had the funky hair and you know, the ski goggles and the podiums and all that. I think that was just like, a way of expressing himself. In the bunch, he was almost always silent. Just you know, only chatting to those guys close to him. He was actually quite discreet."
