Peter Sagan -- Now staring as Danny in "Grease"

[ofcounsel]

You never know what you're gonna get with Peter, but it's always entertaining!

Sagan makes Travolta look like Nureyev.

Fun stuffs :banana:

[dave thompson]

White guys can't dance.

[BumbleBeeDave]

. . . but thank God nothing that bad.

But then again, I wasn't world cycling champion, either! :rolleyes::p

Too cute, but...who does this speak too? What is the purpose? I mean really to have Peter Sagan promote anything other than a bike part it's a stretch isn't it? I don't want to hate on Sagan he's a fine dude and a great cyclist but I really don't think he's quite a household name unless your somewhat seriously follow road cycling.

"Alongside his wife Katara Smolková Sagan delivers a full rendition of ‘You’re The One That I Want’, apparently as part of his sponsorship deal with Slovak health food company Sun-Root."

Ohhh, thank you I was wondering what it was about. Well I am American and I imagine he is more widely recognized in Europe, particularly Slovakia.

Rich boy that races bicycles. No different than some of the US ball sports guys doing equally painful to watch video parodies. He has personality, like Cipo, unlike Cav or Kittel or Greipel.

Not ready for Prime Time, but...

PS demonstrates an element of playfulness, good taste, innocence, and youthful free spirit that is sorely missing w/in the world of our professional athletes. My hat is off to him and his wife, and to those providing the backup ensemble.

This bit is a breath of fresh air in an otherwise disdainfully complicated, overly competitive and often times degrading world of our sporting elite! It seems PS is "maturing" nicely from his earlier, immature and "womanizing" days. :beer:

Combine two terrible things to get an even more terrible thing.

From the words of the late Rodney Dangerfield, "tough crowd"!

[Bstone]

You have to appreciate the ironic / terrible badness, therefore unbelievably great quality of this.

He just isn't afraid to screw up.

As The Donald would say, "I'm not sure why, but it's fantastic!".

[Avincent52]

Horrible? Maybe.
But kind of brilliant, too.
Note that it appears on the "Peter Sagan Official" YouTube channel.
For better or for worse, Sagan's got no more than ten or maybe a dozen years riding a bike at a championship level.
If he can establish himself as a wheelie-popping, Grease-dancing "personality" he'll have a lot more choices when he hangs up his cycling shoes for good. Look at what Bob(ke) Roll has done with far less. (And remember that in Europe Sagan is already about as famous as, say, Mike Trout is in the U.S.)

That can't be unseen.

Exactly what Sun-Root was hoping for :)

Atleast he didn't grope anyone in the video, I hope. I didn't watch the whole thing, but it seemed tasteful (if artistically dubious) from what I watched, which is a move in the right direction.

Grease should be classified as a war crime.

[CampyorBust]

Yeah pretty much. :eek:

I loathe Grease and I am keen on Sagan, so I am utterly bewildered.

Oh wait, no, all is forgiven

What harm is there in a little fun? The guy is the real thing. If he has the balls to do something like that, more power to him! He reminds me of Tomba. They both do things for their own amusement. Tomba was a natural goof offer, just like Sagan. Sports need guys like that. Just My Opinion

[azrider]

Here is my take.....

[ldamelio]

Geez ! Give the guy a break. He's just having a little harmless fun. Nice to see some personality in the peloton. Hasn't been much since Cipo.

[PQJ]

I think it's hilarious. He is definitely a character who has grown on me and I look forward to his year in rainbow stripes.

[Bstone]

Grease should be classified as a war crime.

The Hague has designated it a crime against humanity.

[weisan]

sky's the limit for this kid.

[r_mutt]

You guys really define crumudgeon!

He's doing sponsorship duty- and it wasn't too bad really. Much better than other $hite I've seen.

[oldpotatoe]

Sky's the limit for this kid.

Sky is too sophisticated for Sagan..;):D

[MaraudingWalrus]

while I didn't enjoy watching it, I certainly enjoy very much that it exists.

[kobetsang]

This guy never disappoints
