so wonderful to see more pro women in this series!!!! I hope we continue to see more! its incredible to see women who are younger than me riding at the world tour level, so excited for the future of women’s pro world tour
GCN lost out on losing Matt Stephens, congratulations to Sigma Sports picking him up, his laughter and banter is second to none. I am loving these cafe rides.
Lucy Reeves I think GCN is still putting out great content. Add Matt Stephens to Sigma and I consider it a win-win with different content/delivery from each channel.
I believe it was Matt’s choice to leave to concentrate on his commentary stuff rather than GCN. These videos are brilliant especially the one with Pippa York. GCN still lead the way in cycling though it’s a godsend for cycling fans
Ahhh... Matt, our little ray of sunshine in these rather gloomy days. Looking forward to seeing this (very) young lady’s progress and hearing Matt commentating on races again! Normality will return 🤞🙏
Elynor seems like such an intelligent, sweet, grounded and of course talented young lady. It will be fun to see how her professional career goes and where it takes her. Well done to her parents as well!
Met her with her sister and Mum at Manchester, offered to lend her a pump before I found out who they were, what a lovely people they all are and wish them all the success
One of our favourite Matt Stephen's Cafe Ride series - this girl is super talented clearly but a natural on the camera! Cannot wait to see Elynor's career blossom :-)
Thanks for a great video. Elynor is a breath of fresh air and a credit to her parents. The whole family oozes talent and are naturally nice peeps. Best of luck in the future.
What a beautiful Belgian day! Matt you are amazing! And Elynor is such a wonderful young woman with so much talent and personality. She certainly shows a good bit of her dad who is so well respected in cycling and such a great guy. Thanks for the great content and good laughs. And the amazing views of Wales starting @ 8:37. You bloody made my day.... again. Cheers! PS - Taking into account that this was done before the COVID-tainted days began I still can't tell you how videos like this have brightened these somewhat dark and cloistered days for so many of us. Seriously Matt your wit and charm keep us going and a big thanks to the entire production crew and Sigma Sport for allowing these to happen.
Great content again Sigma. Matt so personable - great to see a young woman of great potential on her way up (hopefully) the ranks! 18 years old - brilliant!! 👏
Nothing better than coming home after a great ride grabbing a coffee and sitting down and watching the cafe ride video all extremely good but this one was heart warming !
How super cool. I met her dad year's ago when he was racing. Super Nice Guy. Seeing his Daughter is wonderful. All The Best to The Women's Cycling for the future. Thank you Sigma and Matt for these.
What a charming young lady and such a great interview for such a young age. I wish her all the best in her cycling career. I love the interviews by Matt. He is one of the most spontaneous and funniest people and he does such a great job at his task. I would love to ride those roads and experience Liege. Well done my friend!
This is a brilliant series/concept and, in some respects, I'm so glad that I came to it late because it means I've got a load to catch up on. Thank you Matt, thank you Sigma Sports please keep 'em coming.
I might have to re-watch the first few minutes... I was busy wondering if she would ever sit down or get out of breath. Wow! And to stand up to the crazy of Matt Stephens this elegantly and hilariously at 18 - double wow! You go, Elynor!
Highlighting female athletes is very much needed to attract sponsors and the public in general. Thank you Sigma Sports, Matt and in this episode, Elynor. Wishing you success.
Sweet kid. Great to see someone young who can hold her own with Matt. It would be very easy to be overwhelmed. So strong at such a young age. Hope her team can survive the downturn.
I love these videos! Another fabulous guest too. Matt, you are the best interviewer. Putting all your subjects at ease with your effervescent personality. You get the best out of all of them. Can’t wait for the next one. I hope we don’t have to wait too long. I’d even accept one from your lockdown household! Always a great watch, always leaves me inspired to get out on one of my bikes and always makes me want new kit and a coffee!
Matt. That was so so good! Delightful!! Is Elynor a future world champion? I firmly believe so. In my opinion @TrekSegafredo, THE most amazing pro team, have made the right decision!
Fantastic video could watch Matt all day and Elynor is a very talented rider who will achieve greatness and love it when she said That explains all the toilet breaks bit, keep them coming.
Absolutely love your videos and Matt is so funny he is great and what a talented young lady I wish her all the best for her career, one more thing Pembrokeshire in Wales is great for cycling to 👏🏻
"it's all about fun". it's great getting this type of comment from an ex national champion. hell yes it's all about fun. that's why we all started riding bikes in the first place. thanks Matt for reminding us.
Brew time! 🙂 Seems like an age since Matt said there was going to be a new cafe ride video! Thanks for these videos they are brilliant! And thanks for keeping things going in the retail side too. I know some recent purchases I've had have made the lockdown a bit more pleasant. ✌🏽💚🚴🏼♂️
I always feel inspired to get on my bike after watching the cafe ride videos and I really need it at the moment its been a struggle recently. Matt you're so funny and Elynor was lovely. All the best in your pro career. Looking forward to the next one.
Brilliant Stuff I Love The Cafe Rides, Humour, Cycling, History and Matt introducing us to some young talent in a relaxed and fun way. Love it Elynor have a Great Career X Patchy Swindle
Great video. Wish the both of you all the best. On another note which may seem insignificant to some, I was after some touch up paint fir my new specialized crosstrail. After being let down by my bike supplier Sigma Sports sorted it out super quick. Of course I will be repaying them back by future purchases. Lesson to other cycle and sports firms, look after your customers.
Ah man another brilliant 25 mins of my week for this. What a well rounded sensible young rider, all the will in the world for your future especially to come out the other side of coronavirus. Good on ya Matt stealing RUclips once again.
I get the impression, from her reactions, that Elynor thinks that Matt is a bit like that cookie, 'NUTS'. Great down to earth interviews as always, and always with great humour.
This is greatness; why to love RUclips. It's like Uncle Matty and his sweet niece, Ely, take a friendly spin and cafe stop. Watch to the end-her reaction to his "cheeky little nut" comment is priceless.
Matt.. that was ace.. you have to present the Brits or BAFTA's or everything! Hope this lockdown is not going to affect Ely's start on the pro tour too much.. 👍🏻✊🏻👊🏻
so wonderful to see more pro women in this series!!!! I hope we continue to see more! its incredible to see women who are younger than me riding at the world tour level, so excited for the future of women’s pro world tour

@@stevesmith3606 For me GCN has one good video every so often and the two new presenters aren't good enough in my opinion
I believe it was Matt’s choice to leave to concentrate on his commentary stuff rather than GCN. These videos are brilliant especially the one with Pippa York. GCN still lead the way in cycling though it’s a godsend for cycling fans
I've not watched a lot of GCN since Matt and Emma Pooley left the show, I'm over 30 and not a racer.
Best cycling interview series on RUclips. Keep them coming!
🙌
So agree. ;-)
@@sigmasports please make some virtual cafe ride!!!!
Ahhh... Matt, our little ray of sunshine in these rather gloomy days.
Looking forward to seeing this (very) young lady’s progress and hearing Matt commentating on races again! Normality will return 🤞🙏
We are looking forward to that too. Elynor has definitely got a big future ahead of her.
Thanks, Elynor has a very bright future!
I am thoroughly enjoying these Cafe rides. Great job Matt!!! I got absolutely nothing done today, just listening to these. Fabulous!!!
A delightful mix of content and humor. Young riders should be scrambling to do a spot with Matt as an introduction to the pro cycling world
"...that explains all the toilet stops!'' Priceless!
Elynor seems like such an intelligent, sweet, grounded and of course talented young lady. It will be fun to see how her professional career goes and where it takes her. Well done to her parents as well!
Elynor has such a natural screen presence, to go along with all that cycling talent. Love getting to know new pros!
Thanks for watching, Philip!

Matt, your attitude and interview skills are about as natural as could be, not to mention your laugh.... man your laugh is too good! Thanks
🙏
How can one not love Matt?!

Thanks Thomas. Elynor rocks!
Matt Stephens would laugh all day long in a phone box on his own, pure class.
Nothing better than coming home after a great ride grabbing a coffee and sitting down and watching the cafe ride video all extremely good but this one was heart warming !
Thanks Alan, we're pleased to hear you're a fan.
Can not say enough about the Cafe Ride series overall and Elynor is such a talent!
Thanks Kevin, she sure is.
Matt, you are fantastic.On a dull day you can guarantee Matt Stephens will put a smile on your face! Elynor was good fun too, what a prospect.
Was watching Matt's leaving episode of GCN and someone in the comments mentioned this channel, I can get my Matt fix again!!! YAY!
How super cool. I met her dad year's ago when he was racing. Super Nice Guy. Seeing his Daughter is wonderful. All The Best to The Women's Cycling for the future. Thank you Sigma and Matt for these.
Brilliant again everyone. Funny, informative and Elynor seems like a lovely person to boot. Just 18!!!
This series is fantastic! MORE PLEASE!!!!!!! Matt, youre a star mate!
What a charming young lady and such a great interview for such a young age. I wish her all the best in her cycling career. I love the interviews by Matt. He is one of the most spontaneous and funniest people and he does such a great job at his task. I would love to ride those roads and experience Liege. Well done my friend!
Thanks Jim, we agree, Elynor is an excellent interviewee and a fantastic bike rider....Matt isn't bad either!
Thanks so much Jim. Just glad we're making stuff that people enjoy.
Please, more Matt and more Cafe Ride!!!!!!
An open cafe... don't see those any more. Another enjoyable video - Matt's laughter is so infectious!
Sad times eh. We're glad you enjoyed the video 👍
Hopefully we can be back out there soon. Hope you're keeping well and thanks for watching!
How I love those café rides. Liège look lime a very cool city,
Liege rocks. Thanks for your kind words, we have a blast making them.
I love the cafe rides series - absolutely fab 👌
Thanks Steve 🙏
Brilliant as usual...really looking forward to watching Elynor progress, couldn't be at a better team it seems...good luck!!!
She's got a big future ahead of her, that's for sure.
Best cycling series on YT
This is a brilliant series/concept and, in some respects, I'm so glad that I came to it late because it means I've got a load to catch up on. Thank you Matt, thank you Sigma Sports please keep 'em coming.
Thanks Bob! We are bringing you more great Cafe Ride episodes all through 2022! Thanks for your support.
I might have to re-watch the first few minutes... I was busy wondering if she would ever sit down or get out of breath. Wow! And to stand up to the crazy of Matt Stephens this elegantly and hilariously at 18 - double wow! You go, Elynor!
Just love this series so much. Great to see the young ladies on here. So refreshing! Keep it up 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻🚴🏻♂️🚴🏻♂️
Team this was a great video of a very talented young lady who looks to have a very big future ahead of her. Awesome interview style too Matt!
Highlighting female athletes is very much needed to attract sponsors and the public in general. Thank you Sigma Sports, Matt and in this episode, Elynor. Wishing you success.
One of your best café rides. Nice warm personality.
Her younger sister is also doing great
It took me a while, but I found you! You are the best Matt! Long live the channel!
Thanks Matt and best of luck to Miss Backstedt in her cycling career.
Great episode! Thank you very much.
I think Matt has a stalker...That car behind in lots of shoots...They know how cool he is...😎🇬🇧🚴🏻🌍..great video as always...😎

X Patchy Swindle
What a fantastic presenter and what an incredibly talented young athlete.
MS your passion for cycling infectious, your personality outstanding. Vancouver, Canada.
A simpler time, when we could stop at the cafe after a bike ride 😔
Great video. Wish the both of you all the best. On another note which may seem insignificant to some, I was after some touch up paint fir my new specialized crosstrail. After being let down by my bike supplier Sigma Sports sorted it out super quick. Of course I will be repaying them back by future purchases.

I like these videos not talking bout silly watts and other cycling bs just riding n good chats 😎
Love watching these! More Cafe Rides as soon as you’re able to please!?
We'll see what we can do. Thanks for giving it a watch 👍
As soon as we can we'll be back out there!! take care and thanks for watching.
Ah man another brilliant 25 mins of my week for this. What a well rounded sensible young rider, all the will in the world for your future especially to come out the other side of coronavirus. Good on ya Matt stealing RUclips once again.

That Trek Segafredo team kit is absolutely bob-on. 👌🏼
Another great episode. Thanks!

She is an absolute stallion! She awesome! Matt is too!
How patient was that car behind them!! Bravo!
Aways laugh watching the cafe rides, love it. brilliant to see the characters from the race teams. miss Matt on GCN still.

Matt you are the best.....and Elynor seems a lovely young lady good luck to her future
You two are so inspiring and entertaining that I feel bad talking about the bike but that gold paint job with the black accents is absolutely stunning
Pretty special eh. It's no wonder it won BikeRadar's Bike of The Year award, it's a stunner. ⚡️
Elynor is someone you want to root for, GOOD LUCK! Elynor.
I give Matt's videos the Like before watching them
We like your style 🤙
Keep it up. ;) cheers!

Both of you are great. Liked the video alot.
That's a beautiful place to ride. Hello from Phoenix AZ👋
It sure is. We hope you are keeping well in Phoenix!
This is greatness; why to love RUclips. It's like Uncle Matty and his sweet niece, Ely, take a friendly spin and cafe stop. Watch to the end-her reaction to his "cheeky little nut" comment is priceless.
Great video, love Matt's facts along the way!

That was so enjoyable. Cafe rides until the end of time please. And a cheeky little nut for Matt.
Have enjoyed all of these 11 CAFE RIDES. Will there be more...now a year later...????
Brilliant one of the best yet , great fun
Fantastic series, Matt is hilarious 😆
Much like Cecile episode where all I took was the laughing all I have in my head is newt facts now. Ever the educational show.
We aim to please. Thanks for giving it a watch Alastair.
Superb Loving the cafe rides and chats so so good nice one
You can take the rider out the race but you can’t take the race out the rider “oh I nudged it for the line” 😄
Great vid....what front light mount is Elynor using?
We've got Elynor on the case finding out for us. We'll keep you posted!
