Summary
Random House presents the audiobook edition of My World by Peter Sagan, read by Sy Thomas.
From 2015 to 2017, Peter Sagan achieved the seemingly impossible: he won three road race World Championships in a row, ensuring his entry into the history books as one of the greatest riders of all time.
But to look at Peter’s record in isolation is to tell only a fraction of his story, because Peter doesn’t just win: he entertains. Every moment in the saddle is an opportunity to express his personality, and nobody else has succeeded in making elite cycling look so much fun. From no-hands wheelies on the slopes of Mont Ventoux to press conference mischief with clamouring journalists, Peter exudes a passion for the sport and a lovable desire to bring smiles to the faces of his fans.
So, for the very first time, you will have the opportunity to glimpse behind the scenes of Peter’s world. You will discover the gruelling training programmes necessary for success, and how Peter copes with the pressure of high expectation. You will feel that sense of elation when crossing the line ahead of the pack, and moments of desperation, like in 2017 when Peter realised he wouldn’t be allowed to challenge for his sixth Tour de France green jersey. But what better tonic than to ensure a third year in rainbow – an achievement which may never be repeated again.

Sagan is amazing. The narrator is not.
Oh man, I understand the idea of the Sagan book being read by a geezer but this guy is awful. Full of phlegm. Doesn't know how to pronounce any names. Are you kidding me? If you don't know how to pronounce Cancellara then stay away from reading cycling books!
Anyway, 5 stars for the story, 1 star for performance.
Sagan for the win!

"Why so serious?"
Great book, well written by (?) a very engaging man who is brilliant on a bike. Sagan comes across as a genuine good guy who is able to not take life or bike racing too serious despite being the best in the world.
Brilliantly read by Sy Thomas.
Loved it - one of the best cycling books (and there's a lot of competition)

100 stories!
A very funny and informative ride with the legend Peter Sagan. Even if not a cycling fan you would enjoy this insight into the world of a pro cyclist.
Only reservation, although not badly read, I think it would of been perfect if Peter narrated it himself in his unique accent and wit.
Recommended, spend a credit!

Brilliant, funny, well written and told
As someone still “getting into” cycling, this was the perfect window into the world of somebody I had heard of and laughed with/at, but didn’t know too much about. Cool guy, balanced guy, a real champ. Great read.

It is an interesting read and gives an insight
The book is mainly about the later years of his cycling as he discusses some of the races, he goes into detail about his Team Peter and some of his childhood, but not much, I found it lacking in any great detail, but I still enjoyed it, the narrator is always a personal choice, but I found Sy's voice too warm for this story.

fail
the book itself has been reviewed in other places (check inrng.com for example). you could have saved it's language by having it read by someone with less of an strong English accent... but no, you went and added another layer of Englishness to it therefore moving out even farther away from Peter Sagan...

A modern day hero
