    How can you not be a fan of MVDP. This guy puts on a show every race. Never wins by chance, it's always an impressive win, and on top of that, he's also a really nice guy. To many more years Matthieu.

    I used to ride with Matt in the same club 30 odd years ago. He has always had that brilliant personality. He helped me win my first ever road race as a junior by guiding my tactics on a club run chat. He came and found me the next day post-race (he was riding the big boys race after my event) and wanted to know how I did. He is just genuine and cares about people.
    As for Mathieu's worlds win - wow. That was a fantastic race! What a winner. I love how he got on with it after the crash. That shoe should be in a museum.

    My friend is amateur elite in my country, so amongst the strongest riders who don't ride for a living, and he raced a couple professionals in one race, where they completely dropped him. These pros got dropped by Mathieu. It is very difficult to understand the level that this young man is at. Pure inspiration!

    Matt Stephens did a magnificent job bringing MVP to the people. Traditionally, MVP is a bit stoic and removed from the audience, but here, Stephens works to help the audience relate to MVP in a whole new way. I'm not sure if the writers had all the ideas or Matt himself, but this is a whole new side of MVP that we're seeing and we have Matt Stephens to thank. Best MVP interview by a country mile. High fives all around.

It's not a big place, so you cant help but bump into the riders, especially around the coffee shops! Side note on Irn Bru - it used to outsell Coca Cola in Scotland which made Scotland one of the only countries where Coke was not top dog in the fizzy pop market. They have reduced their sugar way more than most brands and it still tastes great.

    Little fun story: Back in February I was in Hoogerheide for the Cyclocross World Champs and as I was getting in the arena around 11am I think, I could see the Men Elites were doing their last warmup laps. And as I was crossing with the masses this little road of access to the course, I could see with the corner of my eye a cyclist coming quite fast at me from the right hand side. Thought it was a spectator cycling to the race, so I kept walking. But then all of a sudden I see him cutting the corner and coming straight at me and in a split second I had to decide whether to stop still or keep walking forward to let the "lunatic" coming at 20mph at a big mass of spectators pass. So I stopped still and he managed to stop last second at like 30cm from me and avoid crashing. I looked up and it was MVDP. Had I hesitatated 1 extra sec he could've crashed into me and possibly injured himself before the race and not be able to compete properly. And not be the first double Cyclocross and Road WC 🙈.

    Wow, Mathieu, it is great to see your personality and so great to see your emotion after the race! You always seem like such a stoic, serious rider. The 2021 Paris Roubaix was electrifying because of your ferocious attack , and also completely heartbreaking to see you collapse after the finish. I was inspired by your heroic victory in the World Championship! Not to take anything away from other riders who have worn the jersey, but all real fans will LOVE seeing you race in the stripes after that gutsy and brilliant performance. They say you "had a bad TDF", but from my perspective, it was amazing to watch the times you went on front and OBLITERATED the peloton behind you. I was laughing out loud at the complete disarray of what was an orderly field before. Team directors have to hate seeing you ruin all their plans for the end of the stage. I was an MVP fan before, but you might have just become my overall favorite rider. Keep being you and keep those atomic bombs you call legs pumping!

    Have been in the WVA camp for sure but really warmed to MVDP in last year or two. Irn Bru for the win!! Great interview.

    He comes across really well in this interview. I'm not sure he's completely comfortable with the media side of being a star but this is a good interview from him. Maybe it's Matt Stephens.... or maybe it's just the fact that he is relaxed after bagging the rainbow jersey 😂

    What's not to like. Matt Stephens & MvDP having a chat. Just needed Pogi popping up in the background. 😀

    Beautiful.. both top quality people.. Iron bru in the bottle would be a good shout. Without most of the fizz though. Would be spraying everywhere

    The course got a lot of criticisme, but what unfolded was probably one of the most exicting world championships ever, and there was no doubt that the strongest rider won.

    Mathieu has been saying that he feels old for maybe 2 years now. As a fellow Matthew, I sense an early retirement, sad to say. As a cycling fan and a Mathieu Van Der Poel fan, I would be sad to see him leave in the next couple years. Sagan was my initial inspiration to ride so much, but now MVDP is that for me. I hope he goes for many many more years. Mathieu, Matt, and myself, Matthew, you've both made me very happy. Matt, you really have shown here, in a class way, that Matthews, are pure class. Cheers mate.
