Footballers get a lot of stick, sometimes justified, but Ben Foster is clearly an exception to the rule. Honest, down to earth and comes across really well. Great video Sigma.
These Cafe ride episodes are my favorite youtube cycling series. I didn't know who Ben Foster was before watching this, but these are so fun even when it's not with the pro cyclists.
One of the most entertaining and enjoyable hours I’ve watched on TH-cam. Matt’s laugh just brightens your day when you hear it and Ben’s enthusiasm for cycling is clear to see. I came int o cycling in my 40s after playing football al my life and it I never thought I would find something to replace the buzz of football but as ben has found, it is a very close feeling. Great work chaps, keep it going!!
Not familiar with Ben, being an american, but I absolutely loved watching him hang out with Matt. It made me want to go ride and take a break to kick the ball around. He seemed to match Matt’s energy really well, by being introspective and present, while also not taking himself too seriously. It’s so refreshing to see a superstar with the personality of a decent human.
Not into football at all so didn't know who Ben was when I clicked (remembered him playing for England after), but seeing what a down to earth funny guy he is, and the enthusiasm he had when talking about cycling at the end I'll def be clicking on his podcast.
As a casual football fan, I'd always thought most players were (in rhyming slang) merchant bankers. What a refreshing surprise Mr Foster was. Another great interview and ride Mr Stephens.
Met Ben at a Rapha Chat Laps. He's such a top guy. He remembered me that i met him briefly at a previous event with Justin Williams. Love his banter on CyclingGK and FozCast!
Love the cafe rides, Matt remains as the star presenter in the cycling world+laugh+clipping in! Ben was the perfect person for a Matt interview. Well done lads cheers😎👍🚵🏻♂️
Matt, I gotta say you are an excellent interviewer. Not just on Sigma sports but your interviewing with Contador at the Tour de France was first class. Your a class act, thank you!
53 minutes of sheer joy ! Two guys who exude happiness. Love it. Made all the more better as I ride those lanes too and can heartily reccomend the Garden Shed cafe, their cakes are awesome.
What a pair to put on together, I would love to see them do something regarding as they really work well off each other. First class Matt and Fozzy a crazy king 55 minutes of entertainment 👍
Best episode yet. Matt is just massively funny,and I loved how Ben ultimately grew to 'get' Matt. Great range of questions, and as a Man United fan, good luck Ben, whatever you do.
The best cafe ride yet! What an enthusiastic combo getting Matt and Ben together….added bonus seeing these local roads for me, and I bloomin’ love the Garden Shed cafe too!
Wow this video brings back such happy memories for me. I used to live in Warwickshire and my parents still do. The lanes around Wellesbourne and Hampton Lucy are beautiful. You went past my grans house (who passed away 2weeks ago) in Hampton Lucy. Thanks to everyone who was involved in making this video. 👍🏻
I need to go on a Cafe Ride with Matt when I'm feeling down. It must be impossible to ride without falling about laughing. Another massive feel good video. Thanks guys, keep 'em coming.
Hey lads, I recently sold my bike and after watching this video regretting it massively, Just ordered a new one and ready to rekindle the love for cycling, Big motivators you two, cheers 🍻
I don't often comment on Y/T videos but this is just Fantastic. Matt either chooses great characters or brings out the best in them - or both !! Great entertainment. I'm still laughing 5 minutes after finishing watching it.
Another brilliant Cafe ride so entertaining .This is what cycling is all about to most of us ,go out on your bike with friends have a laugh a bit of banter sprint for the 30 signs and come home with a big smile on your face . Love it Sigma sports keep these videos coming 😁😁👍👍👍
And I thought Matt couldn't get any better at this ! Absolutely brilliant. Being a Palace fan I didn't know anything about Ben but I do now because Matt doesn't dominate the conversation and allows his interviewee plenty of time to say what they want to . Rather than carrying on gushing about Matt I will just say interviewing other sports people is a great idea and given the other sport I like is motorcycle racing there are many racers that given they too like cycling could be worth interviewing. Look forward to the next one.
what a brilliant video,and what a genuine bloke Ben foster is looks like you had a great laugh,been following him on the cycling gk for a while now...keep up with the cafe ride videos I love em
I can remember ages ago, you ran a pole on one of your Coffee rides with Matt, asking for suggestions as to who would you like to see. I said Ben Foster, as I’m a big fan of Cycling GK. Now you’ve done it and it didn’t disappoint. Excellent content. 👏😊👍
Went out for a ride this morning and this afternoon picked up on this cafe ride. Was amazed to see Matt and Ben riding along some of the same roads and in the same direction (Moreton Morrell, Wellesbourne, Charlecote, Hampton Lucy, Sherbourne. They then turned left over M40 to Racing Club, Warwick whereas I went right back home to Barford) Great video and great to see Ben's enthusiasm for cycling. (P.S. now not one of the 75%)
Another great ride. Brilliant episode. Thanks Matt and team. Ben is so watchable. That Newton Heath shirt really suits Matt…especially in black and white!!! 🤣 Been watching Ben’s Cycling GK videos for a while now, which are also amazing viewing with great access. His joy from cycling is so evident. Both awesome content. The sort I want to be editing!!! 😜🚴🏻♂️💪
love it ... after a bad day in the office the world is a brighter place after 1/2 hr with Matt. Only Matt would play in a lefty position and not be a lefty. Looks like he has issues with a football on his feet as well as peddles.
Love the Cafe Ride vids. It’d be great to do a re-run with Cecile Uttrup Ludwig after her TdFF stage win, Geraint Thomas after his 3rd place, Chris Boardman on his new role and previous exploits, Nicole Cooke, or Lizzie Armistead on the growth in women’s cycling, or a joint outing with Laura Trott and Jason Kenny. 👌
Who would YOU like to see next on The Cafe Ride?
MVDP
Olivia Ray - Lachlan Morton - Rigo - Richard Carapaz
Pete Tong - but great content, please keep it coming!
Chris Froome, Sir Chris Hoy, Lizzie Deignan, Dame Sarah Storey, Sir Jason and Dame Laura Kenny.
Martin Johnson, Chemmy Alcott
I’ve been listening to matts laugh for a decade and it never gets old
He spreads joy wherever he goes! We might make a highlight reel of it one day..
@@sigmasports Matt Stephens tested positive to '' being from Surrey '' where the people are sooo posh
The cafe ride is one of the best things on TH-cam absolutely love watching them
Thanks, Martin!
Cheers Martin!
Footballers get a lot of stick, sometimes justified, but Ben Foster is clearly an exception to the rule. Honest, down to earth and comes across really well. Great video Sigma.
Thanks for watching, Chris!
Matt is so good. Always brings a smile to my face
Fanatastic the nicest man in cycling meets the nicest man in football - warmth and humour - Ben Foster is a legend (as are you Matt) what a treat!
Thanks, Mick!

The world needs more of Matt Stephens.
More of Matt Stephens is incoming for 2022!
Not familiar with Ben, being an american, but I absolutely loved watching him hang out with Matt. It made me want to go ride and take a break to kick the ball around.

Thanks for taking the time to watch!
Thank you Nick!!

Thanks for watching, Adam!
Good to see a video that doesn't seem overly scripted. Along with letting each other talk and being on the same wavelength makes a great video.
Thanks, Andy!
Pure class. Matt is brilliant. Ben seems like a real gent. Sigma, best advertising campaign ever.
Thanks for watching, Shaun!
What a guest, Matt/Sigma Sports. Top bloke is Ben, very humble and a non bragger. (Rare is this current football era).
Thanks Chris, glad you enjoyed it!
As a casual football fan, I'd always thought most players were (in rhyming slang) merchant bankers. What a refreshing surprise Mr Foster was. Another great interview and ride Mr Stephens.
Thanks for watching!
Yet again I'm being assured that Matt is pure gold!
Glad we could bring you these moments! Thanks for watching!
Met Ben at a Rapha Chat Laps. He's such a top guy. He remembered me that i met him briefly at a previous event with Justin Williams. Love his banter on CyclingGK and FozCast!

My favourite episode yet, Ben seems like such a top bloke and love what he is doing with his own channel. Looked like a fun day out.
Thank you!
Matt is just awesome. Makes you laugh out loud in everything he does. He's made for media. He should have a network chat show.
He's a treasure! Thanks for watching! Check out the podcast for more antics with Matt.

Matt Stephens taking penalties with a former England International goalkeeper is the best thing I have seen for a long time. Absolutely brilliant.
