In before somebody else gets there. Wow, that was something today. Still in his teens, and made someone as good as Kaden Groves look like he was a nobody. I reckon this thread might get up to a page or two over the next few years.

Not a fan of these, "rider X is new rider Y" thread titles.No nonsense title. It stands out.
But he's the new Cavendish according to VoigtNot a fan of these, "rider X is new rider Y" thread titles.
Bless him. Still clinging onto sanity.But he's the new Cavendish according to Voigt
Visma described him as a Matthews type when they moved him to the main team, which seems reasonable given how insane his climbing was at times in his U23 year (you should check out his results in the Orlen Nations Grand Prix and the profiles they happened on). He already seems to have much more of a killer instinct than Matthews himself, though.So what kind of a rider is he? I checked his PCS and it seems today was his fourth win in a row, albeit the other wins were in lower tiered races. But still, he seems to be off to a great start.
I thought about just calling it Matthew, but feared some would have thought I'd just anglicized MvdP.B+ thread title.
Drop the word "thread" and it becomes A+

Done. Much better.Or rename it to Threat
Done too. Agreed.I think the word the should be in there somewhere, whether it be Brennan the thread or Matthew the Brennan is less important, but the thread creator will and should always have the final say, and other people shouldn't be complaining about that.
An exciting future seems to be ahead of him. Today's performance was something else.
FFShe was meant to be doing the ciciban schedule this year to get some more experience but yeah, card subject to change.
When he wins MSR next year, I'll rename it 'MB'.The title is way too complicated, just call it ‚Matt‘
Only two weeks since this historical document:He looked maybe the strongest in the race at Rund um Köln last year against some pretty decent guys and was only 18 at the time, still managed 6th after being in the break. Didn't expect him to be this good this soon though, he was meant to be doing the ciciban schedule this year to get some more experience but yeah, card subject to change.
Or MB.The title is way too complicated, just call it ‚Matt‘
When at least half the forum can id a rider by initials only you know they’ve arrived. Although for years I was confused by JV the team and JV the rider.When he wins MSR next year, I'll rename it 'MB'.
Or maybe not, considering what happened to the last rider with a threatening thread title.Or rename it to Threat
