The Matthew Brennan Threat

[postmanhat]

PCS has Zingle riding the Vuelta. And no Brennan will not start.

You don't know that. Zingle might win them a stage, Brennan could win a lot more. He's extremely low maintenance, possibly needing one leadout, or none at all, unlike Klooj.

This guy is hilarious good. Beating Jan Christen on a 2,4km 7,8% hilly finish while close to Maxim Van Gils is crazy. He will win a lot in the future.

This kid will prevent Pogacar from getting 5 monuments. You hear here first!

He smoked last year's green jersey winner in a flat sprint 2 weeks ago too. We've never seen a teenager like this before. He may never be able to do the Monument distance, or survive the really hilly races, or produce the goods over 3 weeks, but he's gonna hoover up many, many wins, that's for sure.

Girmay 2025 is not Girmay 2024.
He is some kind of unlawfull child of Cavendish, Sagan and Matthews.

That said: Sagan 2010 was kind of the same. But yes he was 20 then.

MVDP is already making sure of that

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Brennan just restored a bit of order in our sport. Race instinct is brilliant. Expectations are increasing.

 

[Links2003]

I saw Brennen today for the first time without an aero helmet - and he's already not winning
But of course what he can do is outstanding. With this sprinting ability and even up smaller mountains, plus the courageous riding style, there is still a lot possible in the future. Let's see where his path takes him and in which direction he develops.

 

[Didinho]

So he can lose. Nonetheless again really strong on this finish climb.

10 wins already this season, what a beast.

10 wins already this season, what a beast.

More than any other pro rider!

 

[hayneplane]

More than any other pro rider!

Is he the first male rider to get to 10 professional wins as a teenager?

He currently only has eight and not much on his schedule so let‘s not get ahead of ourselves.

I wouldn't bet against him getting 2 more before his 20th birthday though... he wins in about every race he starts.

 

[Strawberry_Jams]

Also his wins (in terms of results rather than ease) atm seem to match Ethan Hayter, if you can remember the season when he used to win.

Ah yes just seen that 2 of his wins are at .2 level so not pro win.

Would expect him to have a summer break soon then could well do Tour of Poland or Demark in early August followed by some point farming in the Belgian Chat GPT races in September.

 

[steffr222]

Massive win today. What a season. What a rider.

 

[Netserk]

I hope he will ride with Wout the rest of the year so we see him in Bretagne and Canada.

 

[Mayomaniac]

I hope he will ride with Wout the rest of the year so we see him in Bretagne and Canada.

Next year he'll have the Italian Wout-upgrade riding for him.

 

[tonymikejoe]

This fellah is rapid, big bunch sprint or select group on hilly stage, it does not matter.
Today's win means his mini-bio on pro cycling stats is already entirely made up of WINS.
Not many riders can boast that and he's only just turned twenty.

 

[hayneplane]

I hope he will ride with Wout the rest of the year so we see him in Bretagne and Canada.

Quebec should suit him.

 

[Peyroteo94]

This dude will dominate MSR for years.

We said the same about Sagan.

 

[Peyroteo94]

We said the same about Sagan.

But we still wonder how Sagan never won it.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

This dude will dominate MSR for years.

Only if he can follow Pogačar on Cipressa.
