I don’t necessarily disagree with this way of thinking either, but I don’t think that’s the reason Mathieu races the way he does.I don't disagree with you, but you never know what tomorrow holds...
His reasons for long range attacks range from simple boredom to being cold if his post-race comments are to be believed...
That’s a whole different story than adhering to a certain philosophy of life.
In his case he’s so unbelievably strong that he’s “arrogant” enough to launch those long-range attacks when it’s because he’s so strong that he can afford to wait sometimes and use that explosive acceleration and power in one thermonuclear attack in the final and not have to be THIS fatigued at the end.
They say that sport on the very highest level, when you go well beyond your limits isn’t exactly healthy. Wout reiterated that in his post-race comments as well. It’s Ok to do it sometimes but not everytime or if it’s not really necessary. Might do more harm than good.
