FAN CRUSH

With his good looks and long hair, his passion for cycling, his self-possessed, fun-loving,and human nature, he has captured the heart of cycling fans all over the world, and of course that includes a lot of women.
He is among the most prolific winners in cycling today. Since his debut at the Tour de France in 2012, he has won the Green Jersey 5 times, consecutively. He won the Amgen Tour of California in 2015 and the Tour of Flanders in 2016. In a bold return to his cycling roots, he raced a mountain bike in the Rio Olympics last month.

Here is a collection of articles and videos we think best present this cycling “rock star”.

Peter won the 2015 UCI World Championship last October in Richmond, VA.

Here is a fan-made video of on and off bike moments in 2015, including the finish in Richmond and a charming scene where he sips from a small boy’s water bottle at the starting line:

When he started on the world circuit, he spoke no English. Now he speaks it with an American accent. “This bike is @#$%ing awesome!”

In Rio, he was seeded to start dead last. During the first lap he stunned all by catching the leaders. Two punctured tires put him out of contention.

Cycling needs a wholesome, heartstring hero who can feed excitement with the unexpected.
