Matt Stephens The Cafe Ride - Mark Cavendish Episode | Sigma Sports

Matt Stephens joins Mark Cavendish on the Isle of Man for a cycling tour of the Manx Missile's playground. Having grown up in a tightly knit community and becoming one of the most successful sprinters in the world, Cav always loves coming back to the island he calls home. Stretching the boundaries of what might be considered a Cafe Ride, the guys take in the sights and enjoy a truly unique dining experience.

Solid gold! I’ve heard for years that Cav is a lovely person, but never got to see him in this light until this episode. What a pleasure to watch; Cav has one more fan to add to the pile. Not because he’s a hammer of a bike rider, but a quality human being.

[RudiDwiHartanto]

The most iconic guy in British Cycling History and Mark Cavendish! Exciting

[TheBishopmedia]

Only Matt could get Cav to be so real and open. Absolutely class interview.

[PEPlourde]

Came here for Mark Cavendish.
Stayed for the simple genuine chat between two great humans.

[KellyPettit]

I've heard Mark's a genuine kind soul. Humble, respectful and yet larger than life. This shows it. I was a fan, now I'm a true fan. Matt is the perfect host to interview Sir. Mark Cavendish.

Matt is a delightful presenter, no matter the cyclist being interviewed. Sense of humor, knowledge base and personality makes Sigma special.

One thing I like about these videos is seeing UK country roads and villages. I am envious.

"That's that, then." LOL.

When Matt was talking about his dad being his hero, I definitely had something in my eye.

4 years later and I have watched it again, Cav retired and is ridng again in 2024 chasing the TDF stage win record, I wish him well and hope he can make the dream come true. If anyone can, Cav can!!! PS So miss Matt Stevens laugh on GCN

[MichaelTempest]

For me this is one of the best Cafe Ride episodes done. Always looked up to Cav since I got into cycling, he's a month younger than I am and it's incredible for people to actually see the man he is here.

So great to watch this again. And I noticed Matt got a huge hug from Cav when the record was broken. Still bursting with pride for the lad.

[mcgremlin]

This aged nicely 🎉 I won’t lie I had a little cry there at the end knowing now what was ahead for Mark ! And Matt was there yesterday at the finish line to see Mark achieve his dream ❤

[tanyasingh]

I still see a vulnerable shy little kid in Mark. What a genuine gem of an episode, and human interaction between 2 legendary cyclists.

[caillou]

Wow. I have always only seen mad Cavendish pushing down the watts to cross a finish line first —and he’s done that so often. Now I see this side of the man, so honest, so free, so authentic in this vid. Matt, you pull the best out of people. You deserve a medal for the way you drive your interviews.
Great video guys.
May the whole team have a very merry one.

[skimckay]

Brilliant. Mark. You must return to the tdf out of retirement for 2024 to finish your goal! Matt is a credit to Sigma. Priceless guy.

[joeinglesfield]

Who wouldn't want to ride around the Isle of Man with Cav and Matt?! Bucket list stuff

[CyclingLabs]

Not a lot of riding compared to some of the others in the series but definitely one of my favourite of the series so far.

Matt and Tadej cafe ride: breakfast along the Côte d’Azur…
Matt and Mark: one really big wheel

[timstevens]

For me, one of the greatest cyclists of all time. In the hall of fame

[mabozza]

how can you not love Cav. the greatest sprinter of all time and just a proper nice guy to go with it. total legend. the dedication to stay at the top for so long is unreal. yeh the last couple years been far from great but you just cant write the man off. form is temporary, class is permanent.
