Windsor, California. Dozens of pro riders. Thousands of die-hard fans. One cycling legend. The Sagan Fondo is where it all goes down. We saddled up with our trusted Bike Monkey collaborators to deliver a high-octane highlight reel of this wild, wine-country ride weekend featuring none other than Peter Sagan. Helicopters? No. But drones, motorcycles, and some seriously athletic camera operators? You bet.

Culture Pop Films teamed up once again with the Bike Monkey crew to capture every heart-pounding moment of The Sagan Fondo. An annual gravel and road ride hosted by cycling superstar Peter Sagan. Held in Windsor, California, the event draws top-tier athletes and amateur riders alike to a scenic and demanding course through Sonoma County.

Our team was everywhere: on bikes, in the back of motorcycles, crouched in vineyards, hanging out of SUVs, and launching drones over golden-hour switchbacks. We live for this kind of energy. Our job? Capture the emotion, the chaos, and the beauty, and make it look damn good. (Spoiler: It does.)

This kind of kinetic, real-time coverage is in our DNA. It’s the kind of filmmaking that led us to “The Levi Effect” and “Behind the Curtain” years ago. Only now, we’re sharper, faster, and even more dialed in. From pre-race jitters to champagne-soaked finishes, this reel makes you stop being a potato, get off the La-Z-Boy, and jack the neighbor kid’s bike.
