I've struggled with my mental health for years now, and I can definitely relate to what Pete talks about here. We've seen that he's not the only pro cyclist that's needed to step back or take a break, and he won't be the last. I wish him all of the best in everything that he does.
Keep your carb intake as much as you crave bro. Keep fat intake under 10g a day. Test your b12 and hormone levels (SHBG, estrogen, testosterone and free testosterone) Thank me later.
Fantastically open and honest about the struggles of mental health. You never know what is going on inside just by looking at the outside. Chapeau Pete.
I was lucky enough to meet Pete and guide with him on a very wet and horrible corporate cycling event, just after he'd retired in 2019. I could not have wished to meet a nicer bloke, a true gent and I'm so pleased to see he's laid his demons to rest...good on ya Pete!
Incredible film. I quit swimming 18 years ago and now ride, but still consider myself a swimmer. Deep down the athlete is always there. Fascinating film with such genuine honesty.
Such a handsome and well spoken young man. He is a survivor. I guess it's critical to keep everything in perspective. The dreams and goals when they are reached usually don't fill the void. We think they do but they don't. He's simply enjoying life with a better perspective of what really matters... the little things.
Such a strange thing, only just blogged about seeing Peter in the 2014 commonwealth games and how I love the image and then this video comes out. On top of that I’m seriously struggling with my life at the moment and hearing him be so open is making me feel better that it’s ok to not be ok. Thanks wahoo and Peter
Wow, what a moving film. I came here from a recommendation by Ned Boulting. I’ve always admired Pete and really respect him for making this film. An inspiration to many men who struggle with life’s challenges in whatever form they may be. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and good luck Pete in your next venture. You deserve your happiness and success! ❤️
It was a brave decision to walk away and for him the right one. Sometimes you need to hit reset and decompress. Doesn’t make you a quitter it makes you realise who you actually are. All the best on the comeback and hope you get to enjoy the moments
It would be great to see Pete racing again. My dad and I watched him win that yellow jersey in Albertville and throughout my junior years I rode a white Pinarello, always admired his respect for the national jersey, class act on the bike.
It was good seeing Peter’s eyes fire up when he spoke about cycling, if Cav can do a comeback so could Peter. Don’t forget we need you for the ITV4 Tour de France coverage mind.👍 Really good to see Peter coming out of a difficult period in his career and life.👏👏👏
Wow, this had me with a tear rolling down my face… such a deep resonating story regarding identity and life goals but turned up to 11 for Pete. Much respect to him and his family! This will be one I come back to for inspiration…thank you
Powerful film. Saw Pete in the 2018 Worlds at Innsbruck when he did a great ride. Fantastic bike racer with nothing to prove. Write the chapter if you want to Pete, with no pressure, as long as it’s enjoyable
Wake up every morning and say to yourself out loud I am worthy in whatever endeavours you partake in! When you truly accept yourself that is when the magic happens.
Wonderful, there are things in life that we are ment to hang on to and for many cycling gives freedom, escape from all the other things in life so you can come back and face them in a better head-space. Thank you for your openness.
A great video, and congratulations Pete on getting through the last few years, and coming out what appears to be a happier, more balanced person. The big question is though - are you making a comeback?
I used to say when I was asked once how my legs are when on a fast group ride (chainy) 'yeh not bad' but then my head's been a bit cabbaged' and it was wholly true, it's a physical and mental addiction cycling and it's easy to let it run away with 'you...but you can leave the head behind, not think too much emotion and I think that can get to some people... riding a road early am or anytime, can be a lonely life, seeing grey tarmac, it really gets to you sometimes, I physically love exercise/cycling but it fks ya head
Wow, thank you for being so open about a sport we all love to watch but not think about what is actually going on in the head of the pro cyclist, especially when your top shelf, makes me wonder how Chris Froome feels… well done dude 💪💪
Well I hope if you go back to racing hope you enjoy it 😊I used race a lot a fair level now getting a little older started to do gravel races 😊I keep telling myself age is just a number 🤔just takes me a little longer to recover 😂great vid
Peter basically never had a proper teenage experience. He sacrificed too much in his young formative years. He essentially behaved like an adult since he was a teen, and eventually it caught up with him. Important lessons for young adults out there. Make sure you work hard, but relax and balance that just as hard.
Great edit. I never knew Pete and Simon Gerrans were brothers. Carbs FTW! Rim brakes FTW! When we dont get enough carbs our serotonin and dopamine CRASH causing us to feel like donk.
Hats off to the editors and producers of this video.
I love him on The Tour de France commentary and I never knew his story x Hopefully it will help kids xx
Inspirational. Whatever you do next, enjoy.

Thank me later.
Ignore all of this deluded clown 'durianrider' advice.
Thank me later.

Top bloke. Thanks for sharing.

Great to see both Pete and his brother Tim still involved in cycling - commentating and Tim as a DS. For many years to come I hope.

Great story, fantastic to see an athlete who has competed and succeeded at the very highest level show such honesty and vulnerability

Nice to hear the human side of a professional athlete,plus nice video of the island!

Chapeau Pete! Excited to see what you do next!
I have already seen this video two times. I needed this and I will need it for "those moments". Thanks a lot.
Been waiting for a film like this from Peter. Powerful, open and insightful. Best 16 mins I will spend for some time. Thank you for doing this.
It was a brave decision to walk away and for him the right one. Sometimes you need to hit reset and decompress. Doesn’t make you a quitter it makes you realise who you actually are. All the best on the comeback and hope you get to enjoy the moments
Terrific. What an honest, pure athlete and honest, pure guy.
Peter I'm happy you back to cycling. Go ahead!
Message from Hong Kong

This was powerful. And inspiring. I'll keep this in my back pocket for those times I might need it. Thanks a lot.
Beautiful stuff, and a really lovely kid. It would be great to see Pete get his deserved closure. Bless him.

Glad Pete is happy again
What a brilliant Documentary…I’ve always said Pete is the one talent I wish we could have back 💯 always thought he was a machine on the bike
Wake up every morning and say to yourself out loud I am worthy in whatever endeavours you partake in! When you truly accept yourself that is when the magic happens.
Glad he has some peace and happiness in his life, happy for you and your family yessir
THX 4 SHARING & OPENING UP WATS GOING ON ACROSS PROFESSIONAL SPORTS...💙 DA CALIPER BRAKES! ROCK ON!! 🤟😎

Good luck in whatever you choose to do. Really thoughtful and enlightening . Stay strong
Great story and film. Still looks pro on a bike. All the best to you Peter.
All the best whatever you decide Pete 🙌
A great video, and congratulations Pete on getting through the last few years, and coming out what appears to be a happier, more balanced person. The big question is though - are you making a comeback?
Inspiring

Great video. I really hope this means a come back is on the cards. Such a talented guy
Beautifully shot, similar to Millar's Time Trial
Wow, thank you for being so open about a sport we all love to watch but not think about what is actually going on in the head of the pro cyclist, especially when your top shelf, makes me wonder how Chris Froome feels… well done dude 💪💪
"Why not?" Why not indeed, sir. Cheers to you. Enjoy the journey.
Yall gotta do one on Peter Sagan
Great video! Pete, don’t burn the wetsuit though.
Well I hope if you go back to racing hope you enjoy it 😊I used race a lot a fair level now getting a little older started to do gravel races 😊I keep telling myself age is just a number 🤔just takes me a little longer to recover 😂great vid
freedom.
Please comeback Pete
I can see from the start,he took back control,rather than be controlled
"Maybe I should've been having a bit more fun... "
Get back out there Pete you’ve got time for one last go
