I have a feeling that this guy is going to win more than one world championship
What's not to love about Peter Sagan? He's the best all-around cyclist in the world, and also a great guy with a great attitude and personality. I'm looking forward to watching him win much more in the coming years.
Driver, do you stop at stop signs? Do you have a minute to chat some day?
Now he's speaking about MTB at the Olympics, master all all hahaha
Anytime I don't feel like working out, I come here and watch this to motivate myself!
The way he cornered the turn at full gas at 5:36, that might have been the most decisive move to stay clear of Van Avermaet and Boss Hogg. Incredible.
Peter Sagan is SLOVAKIA HULK :D
+bianchi1885 Yep! All the drivers have got very good to great handles. But Sagan is something extra. Just can't hate this guy. So different. Very happy for him after kind of a difficult period, even if this year was quite OK, except La Vuelta.

congraturation!!!!You are a CHAMP!!!!
Hey! #BraveGirls
Sagan is the best!
Well deserved!!!
Triple champ, sad to see you retire from the WT this year but thanks for the memories.
Sagan you legend, well done!
This would have been exciting to watch. But the person who posted it made sure there was a picture of Peter Sagan on the thumbnail, so when I searched "Mens elite race world championships 2015" and it came up, I already knew who had won, without watching the video, or any other video of this race. Thanks a lot, you complete MUPPETS at the UCI.
+Jp Pennypacker "...complete MUPPETS at the UCI...:You do realize you are being completely redundant there (they always have been, always will be).
Sagan always seem to perform really well in the US roads.
Bravo Peter! The rainbow is yours.
I know to win 3 World Championship is Phenomenal, how about a number 4, Pete?
OMG how hetook the bullet there!!!
AMAZING CYCLING !!!!
The HULK smashed the rest of the field!!!
almost 2 years ago but still gives me chills me everytime! great attack, great commentary, a legendary Champion! hope he wins a third in a row this year. if not, he still is now a one-of-kind cyclist!
He won again ;-;

Peter Sagan, in the name of power and strategy!
Peter Sagan is a living legend of professional cycling and with so many years left in his career.
Cesar, do you stop at stop signs? Do you have time to chat some day?
announced he's retiring at the end of the season, what a boss
excellent, excellent........................
A real phenom I've still chills in 2016
great commentary too!
+James. S so much better than the US-feed. Soon as I walked up to the event and this was coming through the PA I turned to my wife and said, "thank god they have Sherwen doing this!" But, that was only at the out-door areas.
It wasn't a few minutes later we walked into the Fan Fest zone and it was only the US-feed. Sorry, much like EPL games, I prefer the UK commentary. Less words with more being said, if that makes any sense. The US people simply talk to talk, they don't let any action unfold, or give it any space to breathe. It's just stat after stat, fact after fact, over and over and over...it's like, "STOP!"
+billnmish What is James S's last name?
great stuff Peter! Commentator said 32 times Sagan during the last 2.9 km, lol.
counted and he realy did lol :D

Fantastický Petrov výkon. Excelentné, grandiózne. Titul majstra sveta je v tých najsprávnejších rukách. Obrovská gratulácia.
finally a worthy champion
So happy for Peter, gotta love Tom Boonen too!
Amazing, shed tears for this man today!
And now sagan is a living legend!!
Great race, well deserved first place.
excelente por peto! se lo merece
Unbelievable finish!
Absolutely deserved the rainbow jersey. His consistency and aggression during the TDF was epic. It seemed for weeks that any time there was a break, he was there. Mopping up points like some sort of innovative machine that you see on the shopping channel, except unlike those gadgets he consistently worked... He copped some flak for the number of times he finished second on a number of stages, but seriously I believe that this guy is the best all around cyclist on the planet, and that's by some margin. And now lets face facts, he's won the one which really counts. Here's an idea, #PS1t1tRC’s.
UCI was simply stupid to fine him for what happened in Spain. These guys are not only superb athletes, but they are (at best) the kind of people who get more than a bit grumpy when they loose, and let not only themselves but most of all their team down. Having that weight bearing down on you, and then to be taken out by a film crew? You increase the heat on a pressure cooker, what happens? Bottom line the reaction is outside the pressure cooker's control. Hand on heart (therefore typed slowly and methodically with my left hand) Peter Sagan is the future of cycling. The next "X" number of years outside the Alps or the Pyrenees anybody watching a race will be asking themselves, "where's Sagan?". And the simple answer will remain, "Exactly where he wants to be."
+James Milne Agreed. UCI and TdF need to figure out who the stars of their sport are. And its not Lance Armstrong.I'm getting tired of the Tour de Mountain Climbing, sorry Tour de France. Beef up (considerably) the time bonuses for finishing top 10, and in each every race. This sitting waiting for the mountains is killing the sport; Sagan is one of the few racing every day.
so awesome! thanks richmond and uci!
what ? no wheely at the end ? Congratulations to a classy rider
hopefully oleg will finally be happy
+BikePvP [Shiac ✖ Capt] Yeah I wonder if that billionaire jackass still wants to cut his salary or terminated his contract now.
+brian fastabend It is all media stunt from Oleg to get attention. He cannot do anything with the contract. Even if Peter is not winning (TDF), his marketing value/potential is 10 fold of any other bike rider. Great job Peter!
+BikePvP [Shiac ✖ Capt] Sagan should squeeze him for even more money imo
+BikePvP [Shiac ✖ Capt] oleg is actually quitting the whole team
ik next year
The final few kilos of this race indicate that Sagan's ability is as a strongman and breakaway specialist, rather than trying to mix it up every stage amongst the pure sprinters.
He may even have a future in winning short and prologue time trials.
Chapeau Peter Sagan !
+Steve Gandalf It is not a long shot, though, to imagine he's been using these years to master his stamina and his own relationship with different race length. I am confident that, as he matures in-stage and in-race strength distribution and perfects team strategy-building (having a good team behind, from bottom to top, would certainly help), he may peak at around 27-28 yo and eventually get a GT, or even a string of them. I especially wish so because Peak Sagan must be a true spectacle to witness, on and off the race.
Briliant attack, Congatulation peter
Love trying to max out on richmond course on zwift. Gives you a sense of a freak of how hard sagans attack was
Nicholas, do you stop at stop signs? Do you have time to chat with me one day?
Hero!
Sagan the great at it again!
This is the official UCI highlights video and there's not a single shot of Libby Hill, the main highlight of the course...sure 23rd street was arguably even better viewing and the winning move went from there, but it's like not showing the Ghisallo in a highlights video for Lomdardia or Arenburg for Roubaix.
Sagan earned it so bad after the Vuelta fail
+Sir Simon "Vuelta fail"? You mean the Vuelta where he won a GT stage and then abandoned after getting hit by a motorcycle? Not exactly a fail by pro cycling standards.
brian fastabend Oh I thought a unicorn hit him
+Sir Simon you mean Vuelta "fall" right?
SKarea51 The fall, which was initiated by the motorcyle, was a mistake/fail by the motorcyclyst!
Gosh I just wanted to say that he earned it! .... after that particular fail of the motorcyclist...
+Sir Simon no prob :)
good job Peter
Amazing!
If anyone is in richmond, go see the cobblestone hill they're climbing up (23rd and E Franklin St). First time I came up to it on my bike, I immediately hopped off and walked it up the hill. (Which was strenuous in and of itself.)
Richmonder here. A buddy and I do the full course (with minor detours since some of the route is inaccessible now) every once in a while and though I haven't had to walk my bike, sometimes it feels like walking would be faster. We're talking bare minimum speed to stay upright.
It's scary in a car! The videos really don't do this or the Libby Hill climb justice.
How these guys fly up these hills like they do, blows my mind every time I watch it.
@@jamietaylor2607 hahaha yeah! I could never do that hill because I'm on a fixed gear track bike running at 48x16 ratio.
Mark cavindish is my favorite sprinter but sagan is class at those uphill sprints
Kwiatkowski good result ,respect , Sagan AMAZING!
BEAST !
the best
Yessss
Feeling great for living in messi ronaldo and Sagan era
@6:22 futile but the last slim chance they had to catch him... the Belgian moves over but gets no help. what display of pure power and handling by Sagan... that is what we call going balls out. great finish and worthy winner!
Perfectly as described!
the camera really doesn't make it look like a big gap till they go to camera above.
superb!
He so looked so tired in the last 500m, not something you often see from him. What an effort.
peter je len jeden.:))go slovakia men..))
感動！！
Not a single clip from Libby Hill?
PETER SAGAN is SUPERSTAR....PETER SAGA is HULK.....PETER SAGAN is KING :)
seriously uci, don't spoil the race by using the image of the winner for the video thumbnail. i've seen other people request that you don't do it. i don't know why you aren't listening. it is incredibly frustrating for those of us who want to watch races after the fact.
1. Crappy venue / course ... other than those two short hills. But then again, we're all used to Europe and mountains and castles and all that. 2. Sagan descends and corners like I walk down stairs. I've descended Ventoux hitting 100+kph and I'm still utterly in awe. 3. Sagan is the (new) man. Someone come up with a Spartacus-like name for him, will you? Sagan deserves it. We all want it. 4. 2015 cyclist of the year = Sagan ... hands down. Most interesting and important and involved rider in TdF, and now 2015 WC. Plus, Ioved how he stuffed it to the organizers of the Vuelta with their staffer who took him out on his motor bike ("get your act together; meantime, I'm outta here" -- lol).
I actually remember seeing some of these guys train while I used to live in RVA
I was there!!!
17 Sagan haters voted it down.. must be everyone from 2nd place down to 19th lol
Grande Sagan ma l'Italia non è riuscita a prendere in nessun giro gli strappi davanti
“Pretty special day in the history of Richmond” lol it’s like one of the most historically significant cities in the US
There once were some highlights for us
finally did it!:D
2015 Road World Championships
Wow.
In his mind now or never
Sagannnn
Who on earth is KooCowski? Why don't commentators learn how to pronounce the riders' names?
STOP PUTTING THE WINNER IN THE THUMBNAIL!
Started following cycling consistently about 2 years ago, and Sagan was the rider that i drew to first. So glad that he won this championship. I live in Virginia and cannot believe i had to miss this even due to work. I have a question for they cycling race experts out there though. Sagan is such a talented rider but why can't he compete with guys like Froome, Nibali, and contador when it comes to big time tour racing like the giro, vuelta and tour de france. Is he just a different type of rider? not a climber? and if he's not a climber why wouldn't you work on it to win these big events? maybe i have too many questions but I'm just trying to understand more because i truly love this sport.
+Jose Betances Peter Sagan is an allrounder. He's the best climber among the sprinters and the best sprinter among the climbers. He's not a pure sprinter (anymore). A few years ago he had more "bursting" power and could one sprints (3 stages in TdF in 2012). But at that time he was also still rather unknown. Now everybody knows him end all fear his capacities. In the next few years he will still not be able one of the GT. He is not good enough in the mountains on the really high, long and steeps tops. 3rd category is no problem, 2nd goes better and better but 1st and extra category is just (still) too much for him. Look at the real climbers (in fact Froome isn't either a top class climber but far better than Peter Sagan) and what the form of their bodies is. Put Sagan and Quintana or Contador next to each other. Sagan is taller and heavier. And every kilo you have to take with you, uphill.
No 'on board' summary?
