Petr comienza su segundo año con el equipo después de ganar una importante experiencia con el Etixx-Ihned, el equipo Continental del Etixx - Quick-Step, y después unirse a la formación del UCI World Tour. A pesar de ser su primer año profesional, Vakoc sorprendió al pelotón profesional con un ataque fantásticamente medido en la 2ª etapa del Tour de Polonia, lo que le valió una victoria. También se llevó la plata en el Campeonato Nacional Checo en línea, detrás de su compañero en el Etixx - Quick-Step Zdenek Stybar. Debido a sus buenas actuaciones durante la temporada fue seleccionado como reserva para el equipo del Campeonato Mundial UCI contrarreloj por equipos y para correr el Campeonato del Mundo de contrarreloj individual con la República Checa. Petr vive en Praga con su familia. Él comenzó a montar a los 10 años de edad, siguiendo los pasos de su padre. A los 15 años se unió al equipo Dukla Praha y empezó a competir en carretera. Su experiencia como joven ciclista también incluye un periodo en el Centro Mundial de Ciclismo de la UCI y un año con un equipo amateur francés. En el invierno le gusta jugar al hockey sobre hielo y practicar esquí de fondo. “Al igual que el ciclismo, el esquí de fondo me permite entrar en contacto con la naturaleza y descubrir nuevos lugares”, explica Petr, que también está estudiando economía en la Universidad de Praga. Petr ama los libros y sobre todo biografías de los grandes hombres y campeones deportivos. “Esos libros me inspiran”, dice. Petr es un joven empresario también. Junto con su hermano lanzó la web www.velobooks.cz, que vende libros sobre el ciclismo en su idioma original.
Petr is starting his second year with the team after gaining important experience with Etixx-Ihned, the Etixx – Quick-Step Continental team, and then joining the UCI WorldTour organization. Despite only being only one year professional, Vakoc shocked the pro peloton with a fantastically timed attack in Tour de Pologne Stage 2, which earned him a victory. He also took silver in the Czech National Road Championship, behind Etixx – Quick-Step teammate Zdenek Stybar. Due to his strong performances during the season he was selected as a reserve for the UCI World TTT Championship team and to ride the UCI World TT Championship for the Czech Republic. Petr lives in Prague with his family. He started riding at 10 years of age, following in his father’s footsteps. At 15 he joined the Dukla Praha team and started racing on the road. His experience as a young rider also includes time at the UCI World Cycling Center and a year with a French amateur team. In the winter he likes to play ice hockey and cross-country ski. “Like cycling, cross-country skiing lets me come in contact with nature and discover new places,” explains Petr, who is also studying economics at the University of Prague. Petr loves books and especially biographies of great men and sports champions. “Those books inspire me,” he says. Petr is a young entrepreneur as well. Together with his brother he launched a website, www.velobooks.cz, that sells books about cycling in their original language.
