The Matthew Brennan Threat

[tobydawq]

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.

I still read it as Jonathan Vaughters every single time. So annoying.

Same. Still do.

At least people aren't using it when referring to Voigt.

TP is also getting tricky with Pogačar, Pidcock and Paper being ever so popular.

Matthew Brennan is the new Cat Ferguson Cavendish

Is this real potential or a flash in the pan?

Edit: actually come to think of it, you missed a once in a lifetime opportunity to use bishop brennan in a thread title.

Yes, toilet paper is popular indeed. I don't immediately think of that when seeing TP in a post on the Cyclingnews forum, though.

I wouldnt say "popular", more like a necessity.

Brennan kicks everyone up the arse thread

 

[Didinho]

They wrote an article on Sporza about him (from his ex-trainer, Pidcock's father). Saying in the end he's a young version of Wout Van Aert. And immediatly became 2nd today.
He loves the classics. Guess we'll see him shine in the next years already.

Ilmaestro should prepare

English Belgian Pozzato will get annoying really quickly.

No more amateur stuff for the kid, plans have been changed!

Matthew Brennan adds Limburg Classic, Tour of Romandie to program after Volta a Catalunya breakthrough

Briton targeting stage 5 in Volta but 'under no pressure' after dramatic opening success

"We'll do the Volta Limberg, and then head to Romandie. It's got a similar profile to here, so there's a few stages where maybe I can do something," he said, "I'm looking forward to it."

"under no pressure"
Enjoy it while it lasts.

He will be ok, unless he changes his nationality to Dutch or Belgian.

Pull him today and send him to Gent-Wevelgem

 

[Extinction]

That would be smart. He's done what he needed to do in Catalunya.

 

[RedheadDane]

Pull him today and send him to Gent-Wevelgem

Would that be allowed?
Usually, riders are not allowed to start new races, if the one they dropped out of is still ongoing.

Actually, I didn't know that was a rule. Bummer. I think Gent might be a bit long, but the course would otherwise be one that he might have a shot at.

Maybe they would have allowed him to participate if he hadn't been wearing one of the classification jerseys. Now there's zero chance.

 

[Tim Cahill]

You can drop out and start another race but I think you need permission from the organisers. GW will probably just be for the main sprinters though given that there aren't too many teams with motivated attackers, maybe Brennan can do something on the last stage here if it's raced passively, though it usually is one for puncheur/climbers.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Brennan should hang around in Spain for the rest of the race and suck up some of good vibes. Try and win the last stage, points jersey, take some photos for the album and head home on Sunday. Plenty of oppotunities in the cobbles races later.

They have Olav Kooij, probably still a bit faster in a flat sprint like Gent-Wevelgem (although Brennan is very fast indeed).
