    Whatever Ineos is paying Matt, it is too low. Legend = Matt Stephens!!!! Cannot wait for the other videos to come through.

    I love Matt's interviews, he's a legend! I could watch him for hours.

    What kind of watts do you need to get a contract with Ineos at 18 years old? This kid must be incredible.

      He did at least 6.9 w/kg for almost 14 minutes on a climb! Power file is somewhere on strava

      AJ is truly amazing! Such a hard worker and performs great under pressure. I am so excited to watch him in his professional career!

      He is- check out how he did last year at Redlands Classic and throughout SoCal racing last season.

      He was so strong and consistent when he won Junior Tour of Ireland. Looked so smooth under pressure. Didn’t try to showboat but just put it down when it mattered and hid when it didn’t. Impressive.

    18! Sweet Jesus, his physiological numbers must be off the charts.

    Good luck AJ and to the rest of the Squad. Hope 2024 is a successful season. Don’t go out drinking with G though!

    Some crazy comments here about Matt. He is brilliant as ever, had to work hard to get anything much out of AJ - fair enough, he is young yet. Watch the one with G to see how it should flow. Matt is the man!!

    Ineos should really set up a Dev team. It is just sad seeing for example michael leonard last year. Keep those kids in Dev team until they are fully ready. Putting them straight into WT makes them forget what winning is like.

    Normally I would say you are not a true Rochesterian without eating a garbage plate but since AJ is an elite athlete, I'll let it slide.

      He's a pro cyclist why would he eat that garbage

  • @Stephen-nq5kd
    @Stephen-nq5kd 3 месяца назад +1

    Classic garbage plate is cheeseburger, home fries (that’s chunked and fried potatoes) and macaroni salad on a plate with a meat hot sauce all over it!!!

  • @UpcountryUltra
    @UpcountryUltra 3 месяца назад +2

    Isn't it wild that he's so "green" that he doesn't understand how good he is, or has the potential to be... The way he talks of Merckx, yet certainly has a higher w/kg and higher vo2 than Merckx ever had...

  • @ritjobbie
    @ritjobbie 3 месяца назад +1

    How hard was it for him to lie and say Dogtown? Rochester is proud of this guy but he needs to step up his hometown food game!!

  • @johnslover8079
    @johnslover8079 3 месяца назад +1

    His Vo2 is 92! Larger than Greg Lemond

    • @chrisridesbicycles
      @chrisridesbicycles 3 месяца назад

      Wasn‘t peak LeMond 92.5? Anyway, Jonas was at 97 when he was 17. It only gets more interesting.

    A shame he seems to have given up on CX; was a promising junior last season......

    Garbage plate red hots or cheeseburgers, onions, meat based hot sauce, mustard, macaroni salad, baked beans and/or home fries (potatoes) all on one plate. Nick Tahoe did it first and best.

    Matt-can’t believe you’re trying to corrupt him with gravy. I can stretch to curry sauce (after a night out that I suspect AJ may not have) but gravy? Come on

  • @roamingcanyon
    @roamingcanyon 3 месяца назад

    Usually like Matt's videos but this falls way short. Just hammering the kid with a load of poor questions.

  • @lizmiller5739
    @lizmiller5739 3 месяца назад +3

    Don't believe everything he tells you, AJ😛 Especially NOT gravy or curry on fish and chips🤢😛😂 But apart from that, Matt is a great guy👌

    With so many things to ask about cycling you ask what's your favorite dinosaur really matt worst interview ever mate

    Good format idea, like to get to know the riders better….but the execution is awful, dreadful quite silly content - this one is bad, the Geraint Thomas one is worse.
