Thanks Matt for sharing your story with your Mom. This isn't easy to talk about and you did really well doing it. You're a very strong man on and off the bike.
End comments from Mat were very touching and a hell of a reminder to be grateful with what we've got and take life by the balls while we can. Thanks for the content!
I almost cry when he talked about he’s Mother. 2016 when i started cycling and my first motivation is my father because of lung cancer also due to smoking. I quit smoking and now wi win races. Thanks mate for this awesome vidoe
What an inspiration to all of us weekend warriors. We're not pros so seeing this guy keep it real and to also give some really sound advice to better ourselves is much appreciated. Respect
100% need to see more of Matt. So much great wisdom and such a unique mind. His approach to using cycling almost as a tool to unlock that reserve physical primal power is awesome.
Hi Charles, it’s actually my second time watching this video I love the motivational speech of Matt at the end, i watched it again to keep me motivated, I had major depression on March and cycling helps me a lot to keep going and freeing my mind from other things. This is a great content, keep it up. Keep on riding and keep safe…
Wow, such a great video Charles!! I thought it was only gonna be a video about a beast of a cyclist, but what stroke me the most were his anecdotes, philosophy and pieces of advice towards the end. My uncle went through some tough times due to lung cancer too, so I can relate to seeing someone you care for go through immense effort just to do things we wouldn't think twice about. Sadly I'm not half the cyclist Mat is, even though I don't have kids. Maybe doing other sports hinders my concentration, I think I often fall for trends. That is why some weeks I only play tennis, whereas other times I only want to ride my bike or go sailing. But I'm sure I'll keep getting stronger, at least now that I've finished university I find myself riding more frequently. Please keep the videos coming, we'll be here for them!
Now, my days at the CGV will be like "Look that is Mat.... the legend". So happy to hear these stories. Specially 'cuz I have seen these people and I wondered, what is in their head, what do they think...who are they? Thanks for sharing.
This is my first ever comment on a RUclips video, and it's because this dude inspired me. He's fast because he's mentally tough. He's learned how to reflect on and proritize his experiences. The story about his mom only took a few moments, but was very insightful.
Mat is amazing. Charles, thank you so much for bringing us all these amazing inside looks into these peoples' minds. Montreal is seriously lucky to have you. You're more than welcome to move to Toronto; we'd welcome you with open arms ❤️
What a great video, Charles! Exceptional guest - an "amateur cyclist", with a pro attitude! Fantastic stories - inspirational and motivational. Having lost my wife to cancer recently - a true fighter to the very end - I can relate to Mat's very touching story about his mom. It reminds us how precious life is... and that we should not waste it by mediocrity. Let's do what we love, the best we can! IT'S CYCLING FOR ME!!! A true therapy.
33 people decided not to like this video . Oh my ... This is one if not the coolest vid I have seen in a long time . MAt's mindset is on a different level . Very wise words from a very young man . Top man !!!
@@CharlesOuimet First I've seen of your channel so I'm not sure where you are coming from. Unless the camera angle is deceiving, you appear significantly shorter/smaller than Mat. If that's true, then surely you know how sensitive TT bike fitting is and that your new TT bike would not come close to fitting him, right? As for "WORLD TOUR POWER", I don't know if that's supposed to be click bait or a joke? I'm 55 years old and recently did 24 mph avg for 50 mi on the Polo Field track in SF on a regular road bike with clip on aero bars and 35/50 wheelset. There are dozens of guys 50+ stronger than I am in the SF Bay Area, let alone all of the younger stronger P1/2s locally. Any of them could avg 40kph on a flat track for one hour easily (unless there were horrendous crosswinds). "World Tour power" on a road bike solo on a flat track for an hour outdoors would start at least 45kph, if not faster.
@@ReVoltaire Matt isn't going all out, he is there riding 40km.h pretty much every day. So while maybe it is a click-baity title, he certainly isn't going for a PB here for the hour. I think his consistency is what is most impressive to me!
Matt is so inspiring person with such a beautifull story really good video love to see more of this His average speed has nothing to do with his power and riding every ride at such a hard pace isn't directly the most effective training method
I really enjoyed the more detailed discussion of the mental aspects of hard training. It's so easy to find information on the physical aspects of training, but not common to hear people talk about how the deal with the mind. I personally find that I really struggle with the mental toughness needed to train hard, so this was really encouraging.
Matt is inspiring, articulate and has much wisdom to part with. Great interview. There is someone that you want on your cycling team as a participant and a coach. Nice work!👍
"I'm just entering this room." Great interview, ideas on the mental side of pushing the body's limit. Making me consider my position in certain conditions for speed. Always a student, yes! Thanks guys.
"Your body is a self preservation machine that wants you to be fit and run away from danger as fast as possible." REAL TALK !!! I bought into this way of thinking more than 30 years ago.
He averaged 267W for that hour effort? If that is correct he would be last in a pro TT. Wiggins as a benchmark averaged 452W for his hour record and 472W in the Olympic TT win in 50 minutes
@@WalrusRiderEntertainment Where do you get those numbers from for Wiggins? I think that's far higher, Campanaerts did only like 350 for his hour record.
Really interesting interview to know our "local legends". Thanks for doing that. We got a large community, but not often have occasions to get to know them other than by seeing them going in circles on the circuit. This is insightful and touching.
its all about discipline and self empowerment i have been an climber,sprinter,all-rounder,panchuer,domestique. I was riding my self solo ever since and no one help me to get a massive POWER through cycling.
Great video! Very informative and educative..glad I got a brand new pair of gp5000 yesterday. Big upgrade from the stock tires can’t wait to try them out
Nice ! Good choice on the GP5000. What I dislike about them is how hard they can be to fit on tubeless ready rims. So hard I can't do it myself in case I have a problem in the middle of a ride.
A very nice vid, maybe the greatest for now ! Performance is always nice, but what strikes people the most is the feelings, and Mat was true about his.
I learned about that reserve when I was around 30: being a mountaineer I suddenly started feeling every meter of altitude. I was known to keep going with crazy heavy loads as a woman for my bodyweight.. It got tough and hard and i fought from the first meter. I suffered. Turned out i was anaemic with only 35% of red blood cell volume left... Still made every climb as fast as every one else, just with more suffering. But body was doing it well. It was then I understood my body talks about preservation, not exhaustion. Realizing that gave me soooo much more options later on in planning crazy tours etc.
This place looks like my dream. I am in North Vancouver which is pretty much 95% mountain. I would kill for an outdoor racetrack/track to just go steady on as a change of pace. Great video.
This video is full of wisdom! Wise words Mr. Wilson! I know you from my Filipino buddies. Hoping to hop on your wheel one day (and actually hang :P). Can we have Mat on your vids more often? :)
I love to ride across the Cartier bridge and all the way to the recreo-parc and then take a few laps around the track on the way back, not at 41km/h though!!! Wow!
He rides only in the flats. What would his avg speed be in hilly terrain? My best avg speed was 35.4 kph in a 121km ride with 1085m elevation. In my area is no such a flat area.
@@CharlesOuimet it was a few kms loop (austrian rider that has done raam i believe) and spent all but a couple minutes off the saddle, and didn't fall asleep in his tucked tt position.
I love the way you share the experience and emotions of your experience of your mom especially and the build up of your cycling experience. Hats off to you and a great inspiration for everyone including me. Thank you for sharing 👍😎
Are you using a single cam? also is that mono pod allow to swivel to the side and thats how your getting the side shot of the rider or were you holding the camera?
41km/h for 1 hr outdoor it’s amazing. The world record of distance outdoor is 1026 km in 24 hrs At 43 km/h avg. by Christophe Strauss 6 or 7 times in row RAM champion.
Should come to Italy and check out amateur GF and circuits. Full of people with 5-6-7 w/kg ftp with who can push for hours at 40+. It's just utter constance and dedication
His advice was excellent (tyres, bike fit, mentality) and this video was entertaining. What would be far, FAR more insightful and useful would be to have a discussion of what it **REALLY** takes to attain this astoundingly high level of fitness. For example: Can we see see a 2 week training plan? How long he has been training at this level and when he start training seriously? What does his support team looks like- Does he work with a nutritionist, physio, coach or bike technician? If he uses them, what are their professional rates, or do they volunteer their services? What impact does this have on his family and work life? What sacrifices does he make for STRAVA immortality? Is he sponsored by any cycling companies? If so which ones? What supplements, or specialised on-or- off bike nutrition does he use? How many hours a week does he spend on Zwift? In the gym? Stretching? Doing core strength work? My point is that this gentleman has worked at a professional level for YEARS to attain this exceptional level of fitness- I think that his PREPARATION should be recognised as much as his PERFORMANCE This would also give needed PERSPECTIVE as to the life choices he has made and what it takes to achieve Strava God status.... This would be a refreshingly honest, transparent and realistic take on the choices that would result in high level cycling- But its just a suggestion... on YT, no-one wants to know about the labour pains, they just want the baby :-) Cheers!
Thanks man. I'll do my best to do it as long as possible. Takes quite some time, but I love to connect and engage with the people who watches my videos!!!
J’ose même pas imaginer ce gars avec mon Trek Speed Concept avec Zipp858 et Super9....Un avion supersonique!!! Et pas mal sûr que c’était lui qui m’a depassé à 65km/h l’autre jour quand il ventait en fou sur le CGV!
My favorite quotes from Mat
''I just put my mindset in the frame of being a student''
''The time to exhaustion and the time to pain is drastically increased because you are comfortable on the bike''
''it's a challenge, how fun would cycling be if it was easy? You want it to be hard, you want to have adversity because that's how you get stronger
''This wind hurts, but I'm smiling on the inside''
''You are battling against that ever-mounting desire to stop''
''You always have this reserve, and you want to hack that.
''In order to get stronger, you have to endure, in order to get faster, you have to hurt''
'' I don't ride to get the local legend, but it's basically an estimate of your commitment to something, also your obsession made public''
''You really can just get into the zone, get into the rhythm, and you are really dancing onto your bike''
''at the end of the day, this is fun. Does it hurt? Yes. But it's fun to get to that point and we can lose sight of that''
''In her last moment, her greatest fear was not being able to move''
''Don't fear the what if, fear the what if I don't''
I think the truth is he's naturally gifted, and all those sayings won't change anything for anyone
267 watts to sit on 41kmph? Lol how much do you weight.... 100kg?
Matt looks impeccably relaxed and balanced. Doesn’t stop pedaling, picks his lines perfectly, looks comfortable, and pedaling looks so smooth too!
That's what you need to go fast!!
Wow, i can't believe how this video turned out to be. Especially the last part. Such a humble guy. Mad respect to Mat and to you.
Thank you man, indeed yes an incredible person

Solide entrevue, super intéressant!
Un grand merci !
Mat is an amazing person!
He is!!
His advice was excellent (tyres, bike fit, mentality) and this video was entertaining.
What would be far, FAR more insightful and useful would be to have a discussion of what it **REALLY** takes to attain this astoundingly high level of fitness. For example:
Can we see see a 2 week training plan?
How long he has been training at this level and when he start training seriously?
What does his support team looks like-
Does he work with a nutritionist, physio, coach or bike technician?
If he uses them, what are their professional rates, or do they volunteer their services?
What impact does this have on his family and work life? What sacrifices does he make for STRAVA immortality?
Is he sponsored by any cycling companies?
If so which ones?
What supplements, or specialised on-or- off bike nutrition does he use?
How many hours a week does he spend on Zwift? In the gym? Stretching? Doing core strength work?
My point is that this gentleman has worked at a professional level for YEARS to attain this exceptional level of fitness-
I think that his PREPARATION should be recognised as much as his PERFORMANCE
This would also give needed PERSPECTIVE as to the life choices he has made and what it takes to achieve Strava God status....
This would be a refreshingly honest, transparent and realistic take on the choices that would result in high level cycling-
But its just a suggestion...
on YT, no-one wants to know about the labour pains, they just want the baby :-)

Thanks man. I'll do my best to do it as long as possible. Takes quite some time, but I love to connect and engage with the people who watches my videos!!!
J’ose même pas imaginer ce gars avec mon Trek Speed Concept avec Zipp858 et Super9....Un avion supersonique!!! Et pas mal sûr que c’était lui qui m’a depassé à 65km/h l’autre jour quand il ventait en fou sur le CGV!
Ahahh oui!
Solid video
Thanks !!!
Respect Mat !

What is the farsports model he is using? And tires?

Merci!! Oui avec prescription, j'ai fais au Antoine Laoune au centreville. c'est assez chère. La lunette (Jawebreakers ou Radar EV) +300$
@@CharlesOuimet Dac merci je vais regarder ça!
Damn, the engine on that guy is huge, easy 350W threshold+++ That ride does look awfully uninspiring though, riding around on a race track:p
Ahah yes huuuge diesel engine!
