Video: Peter Sagan pulls wheelie for fan during race

World champion Peter Sagan’s doesn’t need much encouragement to pull crowd-pleasing stunts – but he obliged one fan at the Tour of California yesterday who called on the Tinkoff rider to pull a wheelie.

Sagan was riding in the autobus towards the summit finish of Stage 3 on Gibraltar Road, in Santa Barbara County and would cross the line almost 22 minutes behind the winner, Etixx-Quick Step’s Julian Alaphilippe.

The Slovak rider had some pretty high-profile company in the group looking to make the stage finish inside the time limit – including Mark Cavendish and Sir Bradley Wiggins, both of whom can be seen in this video posted to Instagram by Ron Hirshman, the fan who called out “Wheelieeeeee!” as Sagan approached.

 

So... The world champ did a wheelie for me! @petosagan #atoc #atoc2016
