'Dale Posted August 11, 2023 Share Often a poor starter, likely due to being quite a pocket rocket with smaller quad mossels, that Tom Pidcock can ride, hey. Saw a clip with him alongside Peter Sagan cruising the XC course and he looked like a 12 year old school boy compared to his dad who is a cross-fitz regular. Mathieu is playing the underdog, I imagine, and saying he has no chance of winning. He just hopes to qualify for the Olympics. Probably some truth in there after what has been a remarkable season that only a few like Merckx or Boonen have achieved. His mental resolve, remarkable. Alpecin' earns another rainbow jersey (yes, it's national jerseys) and it reflects well on what is happening with performance culture in that trade team environment.

BuffsVintageBikes Posted August 11, 2023 Share MvdP is fooling no one with those underdog tones 😄 Quite enjoyed his interview by Matt Stephens last night, he's a very down to earth and approachable guy?

However you can’t deny they have proper racing pedigree. They win bucketloads of races. To win with Pidcock on debut with the full sus earlier and now again on debut with the hardtail is pretty amazing. They definitely have a knack for identifying the correct talent and team.

Me too. I love his interviews. He has this "Cafe Ride" series of episodes on youtube where he chats to famous cyclists about their careers. I enjoyed the one with Bradley wiggins despite not being the biggest wiggins fan. He (Stephens) is modest, quick witted, always interested and always asking good questions. A very likeable guy. nathrix, BuffsVintageBikes and splat 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You win some, you lose some. Here's to hoping he's at least in the second row for the XCO. Sagan didn't do too shabby starting right at the back. Finished 37th overall, a little over a minute back. https://www.uci.org/competition-details/2023/MTB/69008 OVERDRIVE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying the presenters they have now are crappy. nathrix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
