Peter Sagan's new off-season activity is taking to the skies in a fighter jet.
Three-time world champion Peter Sagan posted a video on social media of himself in the passenger seat of a jet. The aircraft climbed vertically and then performed various maneuvers, including loop-the-loop and barrel rolls, for which Sagan claimed a G-level of 7.9.
At one point, Sagan covered his face with a plastic bag to prevent vomiting.
"Hey Thomas Pesquet, I did a 7.9 G on a recent flight in a fighter jet. It was bumpy at times, but it's definitely getting better and I'll keep training," Sagan wrote on social media, referring to the French aerospace engineer.
"SpaceX, call me when you have room on your rocket to the International Space Station (you can put me in the cargo bay if you want)."
Sagan endured a difficult 2020 season in which he had to wait until October 13 to win, but he did so with a stunning solo victory on stage 10 of the Giro d'Italia.
Many thought the 30-year-old, who had not won since the 2019 Tour de France, was in decline, but he later said such talk was "highly exaggerated."
As Cycling News recently reported, he intends to stick with road racing until at least 2024, but will soon be thinking about his long-term future as his contract with Bora-Hansgrohe expires at the end of next year.
