Matts cafe rides are so natural and so enjoyable, its great to see these top riders so relaxed away from the stress of competing, welldone and thank you Sigma.
Matt is one of the best most natural interviewers out there and he managed to clip in first time :-)
When you win la Vuelta but everyone just talk about you bonking at the Giro 😂
Love your Cafe rides Matt, and yeah ‘ Simon is a star too. Thank you.
I think it has a lot to do with the out of this planet ride he did that Giro. It was really impressive. Then to see him blow and what Chris Froome achieved. It was an Giro to remember.
Lmao so true😂🤣😅
Simon Yates is so chilled and relaxed. Great guy.
So is Matt. Saw him last weekend interviewing people at the Rouleur Classic event and his demeanour is that he makes them feel comfortable and relaxed and so they become chatty. Its great that he has reconnected with and is contributing to cycling in a positive way after being out of it for so long.
this is exciting! One of the nicest guy in the cycling world and Simon Yates
Helen G. Pitts thanks Helen looks cool
Is Matt Stephens easily the best cycling journo today?
Watching 4 years later and appreciating this content! Adam is from the same town as me, and it’s amazing to see someone local do so well for himself. Super domestique now at UAE. Could he GC at Vuelta in 2024?
Adam is with UAE, Simon is with Jayco.
It makes my day when I get a notification about a Café Ride. And Simon Yates has the KOM on the nearest climb to my house.
Which one's that Robert?
Matt “I think I’ve got the bends!” 😂😂😂
The best cycle related saying ever. That is one for my back pocket....
What does that mean? I wanna laugh!
Brilliant film. GCN lost its lustre when Matt left and now it’s Sigma publishing engaging and informative content. Superb.
The effortlessness with which Simon climbs at Matt's pace is amazing. Simon's out of the saddle and not even breathing hard. Matt's in a smaller gear, gasping to talk, pushing the crank like he's Froome.
Simon makes the climbing look so damn easy, Matt did an excellent job keeping up!!! Trying to speak and climb is NOT an easy task... after the first 5 minutes into the climb, I personally would have started using sign language to Simon just to try and breath right!
Sigma Sports rocks!!!
Two of the nicest guys in cycling, what more can one ask for.
He's not even catching his breath. Beast.
That's what seperates us from them !
Genetics and training.
@@raphaeltiziani7476 genetics? roflmao
@@princeedmunddukeofedinburg whats wrong?
What a lad! Stay humble Yatsey you are an inspiration to many!
Luke Cachia well said!
Matt Stephens is the best!! Great video with Mr. Yates. A true gentleman.
Gavirate, Sacro Monte and Campo dei Fiori. Superb locations! Loving it.
Very humble and doesn't need to blow his own trumpet. Bravo Simon . I will continue cheering you on .
Hands down the best series on CZcams.
Thanks Ian, glad you like them!
Matt Stephens is the man! One of the best cycling presenters around, keep it up!
He's a legend, right?
What is SO nice about these Cafe videos is that we "connect" with the riders' so much more when we watch them in races - many thanks and congratulations, Matt!
Varese! right in the middle of the italian lakes region, what a beautiful place to ride your bike!! great episode Matt.
I thought Simon used to live in andorra
@@danteintx7621 I don't know if he did or does, that climb they're riding though, surely is Sacromonte di Varese.
@@danteintx7621 This was filmed during Mitchelton-Scott's team camp. The camp for both the men and women's teams was held at the Australian Institute of Sport's European High Performance Centre which is located at Varese. This centre supports European based Australian elite athletes and teams.
Best series on youtube
"I'm a cyclist and I live in the Pennines" and I too make cafe stop cycling videos. These are well polished though by Matt and the team.
"I've gone all dizzy... I might have the bends...." - haha awesome Matt. Great interviewing banter as always.
Excellent series, I’m definitely going to be using the “I’ve got the bends” line on my next tough climb 😂
I look forward to these cafe rides with Matt, crew, & guests. Beautiful countryside vistas, bon café, & good company. Cheers!
Simon occasionally has a very slight Australian twang, that he must have picked up from his team. :)
I noticed that too...on "riders" and "climb" particularly 😃
Matt you legend! Brightened up my very dark lunch break with some Italian sunshine.. and Yatesy of course! More of the same please! 🚴🚴🚴
Great video! Thanks. Popped in the store at the weekend and was served by Geoff. What a lovely chap.
The Cafe series are awesome really entertaining and fun to watch. Matt you are a great presenter keep up the great work.
Love this cafe rides series, so funny and interesting at the same time. Big thumbs up 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you for the beautiful cafe ride video. Simon Yates is first class. Matt, as usual, is charming and fun to watch. Love the sound track.
"I think I have the bends". I know the feeling!
Ok I need to say I really am a big Matt fan or should that be fan of Matt. He is made to do this as he gets the best out of his interviewees by just being himself. Great to hear Simon say why he took up the sport and him and his brother are top guys. I have yet to watch a Matt video for more than a few minutes before I am smiling. Looking forward to the next one.
Cheers Ted, make sure you're subscribed so you don't miss anything!
What a great series! Great guests, great views, great rides, great rapport, and of course Matt.
Bravo 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Really enjoy these and they make me want to shop at Sigma to support the channel
Magic,nice people,bikes,views what's not to like👌
Thanks Barry! More videos to come!!
Matt is the best!! Great presenter and interviewer.
Matt is the best. Extremely enjoyable episode.
A good episode. Both Yates brothers come across as very grounded and nice humans. How about a Lachlan Morton cafe ride Sigma Sports?
Would love Yates to ,win the Giro 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Another cracking cafe ride, hats off Sigma Sports!
Fantastic story about how the Yates bros got into it!! Amazing stuff guys ❤️
Thanks for watching!
Riding the CAAD! Love it! 🤙🏽🤙🏽
‘... I’ve gone all dizzy!’ 🤣🤪😆 we love you Matt!
These roads are buttery smooth 😍😍
I miss seeing Matt on GCN; but am thrilled to see videos like this, thank you Sigma Sports! Also gotta say it was nice seeing my #1 and 2 dream bikes in the same video. Sometime in 2020 I hope to pick up the Scott Addict (1) or Cannondale SuperSix (2). Excellent video, so well done.
Another cracking video, also nice roads. It makes me want to do a climb tomorrow. cheers.
Great video guys, i hope to see Simon next year at the Giro: it will be your time.
PS: in Varese we have great landscapes and a great beer. Next time one is for you Matt: you deserve it after a Campo dei Fiori👍
Thanks! Beautiful area!
Excellent interview....really great rider 😀
Keep making videos, Matt!
Another great video in this series. Love the banter and relaxed format. Keep em coming Matt.
We've got a few up our sleeves and filmed already so make sure you're subscribed and stay tuned 🙂 Thanks, Lucy
Class video. Cant beat watching a cafe ride and was great to watch simon as well.
Nice video. Yates has picked up the upward inflection at the end of his sentences - an Aussie trait!
Winter bike of a top level pro: Tiagra groupset! That's something that should be talked more about. Especially for young riders, who are just starting and may feel intimidated by all the high end bikes that are ridden all around them. Unless you are a professional athlete you don't need more. You may WANT more, but that's a different story ;-)
Another great interview Matt Stephens keep em coming mate 👍😉
One thing Matt has it right.
That's gonna be completely different year.😂
Absolutely love these! It's give us a different look at the pro's and Matt's commentary is always spot on:) Well done!!
Thanks Brian!
I really like this series, The Cafe Ride 🙂❤️ Keep 'em coming! 👍
Cheers Andrew, we've got a few more in the bank already so stay tuned 🙂
nissan micra k11 at 12.30min in made my day 🥰
Another good interview and informative.
only Matt would turn up with the wrong kit.... another awesome vid. we definitely need a ride with Alberto as the rapport between these two is excellent
Another banger! Most anticipated video upload of CZcams for me. Thank you guys 👍
Thanks Matt!
The half-hearted humor of "I got a little dizzy" is classic Matt.
Great video.... end erv...
Matt I miss you in the GCN videos, but I enjoy watching some of these coffee rides!
Really happy to see this episode in my city having coffee at the pasticceria i have been going to since I was small. Great fan of you guys 👍
Thanks, Jorge! Great to get your thoughts.
Matt's the man !
How true they were! A really different next year!
Just superb content again.
Cheers David!
WOW! You were in Varese, my home town! It was beautiful see you riding on my home streets and climbing Campo dei Fiori!!!
Cinematography and sound has improved so much in the last year.
Good job, fun video.
Thanks Jim!
Love these videos
I still remember those two weeks in the Giro. Nobody could touch him. He was at another level.
Great stuff young Matthew! Great kid that Simon.😁
So refreshing these vids keep um coming Matt fantastic watch.
Esteban Needs to be next
That's still my favorite Giro. Simon was brilliant ! I can never remember who actually won it. "Was it Froome?, Was it Dumoulin?" All I ever remember is Simon !😂
Matt FINALLY gets to ride in nice weather and he doesn't pack the proper top! 🤣
The best part of climbing a hill is the view from the top. Too bad most of my prime years were from before cell phones were popular.
Another great video and interview!
Another great one, many thanks
Another great cafe ride video. Cracking idea and always look forward to a new episode. And that's the beauty of our sport, you can ride the same roads as your heroes, albeit a bit slower
"I think I've got the Bends!" LMAO 🤙
Great interview - nice and relaxed.
Cheers Eddie!
that pavement... so smooth
BBC R 4 Sports commentator Gary Richardson dislikes cycling and during the 2018 Giro kept lazily referring to Simon Yates and 'Sean Yates'. To help him correct the mistake I sent him a photo of each - and a photo of Eddie Yates just in case he got worse...
It’s 10.05 in the evening and this video has made me want to go for a ride! Great video
Loved this so much, I had to subscribe.
Thanks Max!
Nice day out - seems like a nice bloke!
Great series Matt! Do a standalone podcast?
Fun video. Good interview Matt
Great video, classic Matt getting lost on the way (up?) a hill ?! ;-)
16:18 I've seen said young man descending a fair few times racing and the odd occasion on the Cat & Fiddle, I can assure you he doesn't need escorting
Fantastic video. Keep it up lads!
Simons glasses looks huge :D
I loved the Keith Lambert Story. It certainly brought back memories of some of the shithole hotels I stayed in working as a soigneur in the '90s
Love these, just brilliant
Another great video Matt! Keep’em coming 👍👍👍
Cool, enjoyed that!
