He not only helped Sagan secure championship titles but is now guiding young talents as a coach. In this interview, he discusses the tough life in professional cycling, the pain of elite sports, why he chose to leave, and the opportunities he found riding e-mountain bikes.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>At Tinkoff-Saxo and Bora\u2013Hansgrohe, you spent years as Peter Sagan&#8217;s domestique. What is he like as a leader?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What he says, he means. That\u2019s what makes Peter unique. In road cycling, many leaders aren&#8217;t truly leaders \u2013 they lack the charisma or the ability to inspire. Some don\u2019t even acknowledge their teammates&#8217; efforts, which makes it hard to build team spirit. But with Peter, you always felt like everyone was pulling their weight because he had this natural ability to motivate positively. He\u2019s the kind of leader every team dreams of. In the Tinkoff team, there were other strong cyclists, like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.welovecycling.com\/wide\/2024\/09\/01\/tackle-a-route-made-by-alberto-contador-explore-madrids-anillo-verde-and-la-riojas-wine-region\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Alberto Contador,<\/a> who were supposed to lead, but Peter always ended up being the real leader.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>What else makes him a star?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I&#8217;ve known Peter since childhood, so it was surprising for me to see him become such a global star. He\u2019s a force of nature, and perhaps that&#8217;s why he achieved what he did. When Peter started competing, professional cycling was struggling, partly due to doping scandals. Fans were losing their love for the sport. Most cyclists were serious and, frankly, boring \u2013 except maybe Armstrong, who had the charisma of a president. Then Peter arrived like a rockstar, a completely new kind of personality. Half the World Tour audience watched just to see what he\u2019d do next or what antics he\u2019d pull. And on top of that, he knew how to win.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>How did your connection with Peter begin?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I started professional cycling with Dukla Tren\u010d\u00edn in Slovakia, just like Peter. I began earning a salary at 18, and shortly after, when I was about 19 or 20, I joined the Tinkoff-Saxo team. Peter joined about a year later. We already knew each other from amateur cycling during my time at CyS \u017dilina. Peter is exactly two years older than me, so we never competed in the same age category \u2013 he\u2019s a 1990 baby \u2013 but we trained together often and even attended the same school. Until I was 16, we trained almost daily and spent a lot of time together.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Do you recall any special moment of gratitude from Peter for your help in a race?<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7693\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7693\" style=\"width: 759px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/18\/2025\/02\/crop-peter-sagan-kilimandzaro-cyklistika-tinkoff-tinkov.webp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-7693 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/18\/2025\/02\/crop-peter-sagan-kilimandzaro-cyklistika-tinkoff-tinkov.webp\" alt=\"Peter Sagan\" width=\"759\" height=\"506\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/18\/2025\/02\/crop-peter-sagan-kilimandzaro-cyklistika-tinkoff-tinkov.webp 759w, https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/18\/2025\/02\/crop-peter-sagan-kilimandzaro-cyklistika-tinkoff-tinkov-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/18\/2025\/02\/crop-peter-sagan-kilimandzaro-cyklistika-tinkoff-tinkov-400x267.webp 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 759px) 100vw, 759px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7693\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Slovak cyclist Michael Kol\u00e1\u0159 (R) accompanied Peter Sagan in the Tinkoff-Saxo and Bora\u2013Hansgrohe teams.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every time he won \u2013 whether it was at Roubaix, Flanders or the World Championships \u2013 he made it clear he appreciated what we did for him. But there wasn\u2019t any extraordinary gesture of thanks. It\u2019s hard to explain, but I think it\u2019s because we grew up together and were best friends from childhood. Our paths eventually diverged; he lives in Monaco, and I\u2019m elsewhere. I\u2019m not sure if I should have expected more or less from him.In cycling, there\u2019s always a point where it becomes every man for himself. It\u2019s just how the sport works.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>What\u2019s Peter better at than you, and where do you outshine him?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cycling performance doesn\u2019t need much discussion \u2013 his results speak for themselves. But I can say this: in all our training sessions, he never beat me in a sprint. Outside cycling, I had the advantage of better English and being more level-headed. Peter was always a bit of a wild card. I often had to calm things down around him. He\u2019s got a fiery temper and managing that wasn\u2019t always easy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Did it ever come to blows?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There were situations where it almost did \u2013 or where something happened, but it ended quickly. Peter was wild back then, but I must say he\u2019s calmed down a lot over the years.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>How painful is professional cycling?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It hurts so much that you don\u2019t even realise it anymore \u2013 you get used to the pain. I only truly understood it after I stopped. It took a year for my body to recover fully, and for two or three years after that, I still maintained a high level of fitness without any serious training. Most people can\u2019t even comprehend that.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>When did you realise you wanted to leave road cycling?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During time trials, my left leg would go numb after 20 minutes. I couldn\u2019t feel it at all and had no power. To compensate, I had to spend an unreasonable amount of time strengthening my core \u2013 about 5-10 hours a week on top of 30 hours on the bike. I was putting in so much effort just to make a living from cycling, and it drained me. That was the first reason.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>And the second?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I felt old. I was only 25, but I\u2019d lost my motivation. I kept finishing sprints in third, second, fourth or fifth place. I must\u2019ve finished fourth about 70 times \u2013 it felt cursed. As a sprinter, if you can\u2019t convert your efforts into wins, the team starts relegating you to supporting roles. I became the last lead-out man for the final sprinter. For Peter, it was different \u2013 he had everything: explosiveness, endurance, and the ability to win. For me, cycling became a job. Even when Peter won, I was happy, but it didn\u2019t fulfil me anymore. It wasn\u2019t my victory.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>What did you do then?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I talked with the team. We had an open relationship, and they suggested I could use my English skills and knowledge of racing to manage VIP guests at Bora\u2013Hansgrohe. I looked after groups of 6-14 people, taking them behind the scenes at World Tour races. Financially, it was better \u2013 I earned the same salary but worked only 70 days a year. It gave me time to rediscover myself.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7711\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7711\" style=\"width: 990px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/18\/2025\/02\/Peter-Sagan-Miso-Kolar.webp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-7711 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/18\/2025\/02\/Peter-Sagan-Miso-Kolar.webp\" alt=\"Sagan and Kol\u00e1\u0159\" width=\"990\" height=\"660\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/18\/2025\/02\/Peter-Sagan-Miso-Kolar.webp 990w, https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/18\/2025\/02\/Peter-Sagan-Miso-Kolar-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/18\/2025\/02\/Peter-Sagan-Miso-Kolar-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/18\/2025\/02\/Peter-Sagan-Miso-Kolar-400x267.webp 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 990px) 100vw, 990px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7711\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">&#8220;What he says, he means.

Together with my girlfriend, Natalii \u0160oltesov\u00e1, we founded <a href=\"https:\/\/okoeverywhere.com\/\">OKOEVERYWHERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>What is OKOEVERYWHERE?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s primarily about legalising bike trail construction near \u017dilina and supporting young riders under one brand.

How did a former Tour de France racer transition to e-bikes, which many cyclists see as tools for the lazy or elderly?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It happened naturally. The less time I spent on a road bike, the more I rode mountain bikes. In 2021, I got my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.welovecycling.com\/wide\/2016\/04\/15\/what-you-should-know-before-buying-your-first-electric-bike\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">first e-bike<\/a> and fell in love.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Why?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s no such thing as a boring day on an e-bike. Uphill, downhill \u2013 it\u2019s all fun. It\u2019s not just that it makes pedalling easier; it makes it more exciting. Plus, it\u2019s a huge time saver. Before, if I only had an hour, I wouldn\u2019t bother with my road bike. Now, even an hour is worth it because I can do so much on an e-bike. It\u2019s been a game-changer.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Michael Kol\u00e1\u0159<\/strong> (32) is a former professional cyclist who rode for Tinkoff Saxo and Bora Hansgrohe, competing in top races like Ronde van Vlaanderen, Paris-Roubaix, and Vuelta a Espa\u00f1a. Raised in Toronto, he spent twelve years in Canada before moving to Slovakia with his mother and stepfather.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Initially drawn to mountain biking, he raced XC Ontario Cup events before transitioning to road cycling with his grandfather in CyS \u017dilina where he met Peter Sagan. After his parents&#8217; second divorce at fifteen, Kol\u00e1\u0159 lived in a sports dormitory, later moving in with the Sagan family and eventually racing alongside Peter on a professional team.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Post-retirement, he managed VIP guests for Bora-Hansgrohe and now promotes e-cycling as a Bosch eBike Systems ambassador.
