Zdeněk Štybar: On the New Reality of the World Tour Peloton and Love for Cycling

Zdeněk Štybar began his cycling career on the cyclocross track, where he excelled before achieving great success on the road. Although Štybar's professional cycling career is slowly winding down, he certainly hasn't had the last word in the peloton.

We recorded the podcast with one of the best Czech cyclists of all time, Zdeněk Štybar, in Dobřichovice near Prague as part of the press trip for the L'Etape Czech Republic by Tour de France. During the hour-long interview, we discussed his recent unlucky seasons and his plans for the future. We also delved into his decision to fully commit to road cycling, how COVID-19 has redefined the World Tour racing style, and how a cyclist knows when it's the right time to retire.
