- Perhaps the most exciting cyclist of the past decade, Tadej Pogačar joins presenter and former national champion Matt Stephens for the latest episode of the Sigma Sports Café Ride.
Tadej and his partner Urška Žigart welcomed Matt to their apartment in Monaco before setting off on a short training ride over the beautiful Col d’Eze.
As they finish their ride in Nice, Tadej hints at his hopes for next season with a backdrop of Promenade des Anglais, where the Tour de France will finish in 2024.

That moment when Tadej cringed at the bike resting on the frame and refused to let the guy take a picture until he parked his bike properly. He's a pure rider at heart.
honestly this was so awesome, just shows how much he loves bikes
@@listerraytungala1270and then he let a dog jump on his frame!
it's called discipline
@@chadbarbaro ?
@julianallen515 yes treat your bike correctly, leaning it against a rock wall is not a good move, a thin steel frame can easily be dented....all paint can be chipped with a small movement.
I love how quickly Matt makes himself at home😂 never change Matt it’s what makes it so watchable
Instant best friends!
😂
Everyone needs a friend like Matt
@@sigmasportswhat’s the cafe name pls????😊
That's the policeman training or nosiness😂
26:27 bus driver:" I'm sorry for the delay, people. But Tadej Pogacar was doing a sick wheelie"
That was impressive and a nice addition to the video.
I believe it’s more likely he says “some idiot was doing a wheelie” 😂😂
passenger, "Tadej doing it? Oh well. It's fine then. Forgivable" lol
LOL
Both a gift for the world of cycling, great characters.
We couldn't agree more!
I swear nobody on planet earth has more fun riding the bike than Tadej Pogacar. Win or lose you can sense his joy and passion.
Sì true, he just loves riding his bike!
Now we need a coffee ride with Urska as well, or even a third one with both of them😊
great idea!
Urška is an absolute delight to talk to as well, I think they're a great match and I would love to see a cafe ride with her!
She was fantastic too. I’d watch that
What a great idea - two absolute legends
17:30 imagine innocently taking a picture of your bike on a nice morning ride and next thing you know the world #1 is telling you off for scratching your frame. LMAOOOO
One of the best bits!
Yep that was me with my old bike ! He has been super kind
It might have been a rental.
The People's Voice meets the People's Champ. Thanks Matt, Tadej & Sigma Sports!! 🥳
It was our pleasure!
So true !
ok that was brilliantly said. seriously bravo!
@@toshman696969çç 😊
Can Matt do one with his old mate jay vine?
What a lovely, modest, unassuming young man. He was totally 100% in the moment, looking at Matt when he spoke to him, not in a hurry. Rides for the fans, on emotion, just wants to have fun. I hope he rides healthy for many, many more years. Oh and I'm lowering my seat after watching his position on the bike.
All of those bikes he gets are absolutely for free and he still cares of a bystander scratches a frame. Tadej is a true gentleman :)
Imagine winning the TdF and also getting to meet Matt.
As much as viewers want a show, truth is so many fans want to know the rider enough that they are a real person and not just a bike, a helmet and a face. That's when the race matters because you can imagine what the rider you follow is thinking. Nice job, and thanks.
17:27 max respect to Pogi for not losing touch with reality.
I gotta second hand bike for the road and I cannot not put it next to the mtb bike just to avoid the scratching. Let say they are in the balcony as I don’t have enough space to place them. This moment is priceless.
Cycling uphill with Tadej and holding a conversation. Matt, you're in great shape!
Pogačar really reminds me of a young Valentino Rossi and the energy he brought to his sport.
He has unmatched charisma . Tadej is a gift to this sport
Bang on mate...Love them both !!!
Valentino Rossi was indeed full of energy but he was also quite arrogant and always ready for a verbal fight with other riders. Tadej on the contrary is a fun guy loving the sports and generally being humble and loved by everybody
@@fabiovalentinuzzi5589 Hmmmm maybe other riders fight him all the time like Biaggi for example? Is a different comparison m8.
@@fabiovalentinuzzi5589 go read about Michael Jordan, total asshole to his competitors AND even teammates. Rossi is a saint compared to Jordan.
One of the best Cafe Ride I've watched so far, the best Christmas Gift for all cycling fans.
Merry Christmas!
“It touches your soul, the sun, the warm breeze” says of Pogi❤
Tadej is what cycling needed. Races on emotion and thinks in terms of “what will be fun”. I hope he never changes.
Must have been a drag for Tadej having to wait for Matt to take selfies with all his fans on the ride.
Great content. Tadej has a really good sense of humour, rooting for the kid in this years tour.
They had a blast! Thanks for the feedback, glad you enjoyed it
The way Tadej dances on a bike is incredible
This guy is just incredibly humble and well-behaved. He really values receiving all these expensive perks as a pro rider. He's an awesome person and an amazing racer, always playing fair and never showing arrogance. Yet, he's also an outstanding entertainer for the sport. He truly enriches the scene, which is why he's the GOAT imo
Well my 2 favorite cycling people 😂 and then Urska just killed it with “Thats what she said”
'The best thing about the coffee was the cup' Savage Tadej 😂😂
This is casual honesty at this part of the world.
They were in France, as Matt said! Come to Italy for coffee 😊
They were in France, as Matt said! Come to Italy for coffee 😊
Am I the only one who gets the chills every time Taddej gets out of the saddle and sprints? He’s the essence of this sport 🚴
The fluidity in his pedal stroke is poetry in motion…
Matt said that pog is riding 165 mm cranks right now, that might be why.
@@elmar7190yeah, I heard that too, but I can’t see any other evidence of it
@@StopTheRot yeah same I’m trying to look for it in the new pictures, but its too hard to see. Would have been a recent change.
It ain't the crank-length...You're smooth, or you aren't.
I had the privilege to meet Tadej Pogacar today during my ride
The content we all needed! Both special humans hanging out together.
Tadej is so like-able and down to earth and Matt just good vibe and energy. Funny guys.
Hope you crush it in the new season Tadej!!!
You have a fan in me and thank you sigma
You are welcome!
Brilliant. What a really humble and nice guy. Telling the guy he could have a picture so long as he put his bike against the wall properly, absolutely hilarious. My favourite episode by far.
With the loss of GCN+ there is very little access to cycling content here in Canada. UA-cam videos like this are our only view into the wonderful world of cycling. Thanks, and keep them coming.
YEEEEEEESSS!!!!!!!! Now we just need a Café Ride with Mads Pedersen and Jonas Vingegaard ;)
SOooooooo nice to finally have the Cafe Ride Series back again!!!
That would be ace. Watch this space!
ALL at the same time! 😅
JV needs to improve personality on cam hehe maybe MVDP?
@@paulaaquino5847 I'm afraid you're right about Jonas.
But Mads is quite funny. 😊
yeaa saw mvdp collab with a youtuber named average rob and it was quite funny haha @@nielskjr5432
I had no idea that Tadej was such a great bloke. I’m a new fan.
Absolute class of a film that. Tadej seems like a brilliant guy and Matt isn't a pain in the ass!
Really missed Matt after GCN. Was great with Dan & Si, all just very natural. It’s great to see this series. Class act.
How can we not love him for being so humble and down to earth being one of the best riders in the world
One of??? World number 1 for the last 3 years.
and Pogacar is pretty cool too
Probably one of my favorite cafe rides.
"That's what she said" URSKA HAHAHHAHAH
Tour de France trophy left on the table beside kitchen towels!!!!😄. Tadej doing Tadej's things.
Only Pogi can do something like that! Absolutely desacralizing. I adore this young guy.
The obvious place for such a trophy!
@@sigmasports in Tadej's mind, OBVIOUSLY!
Cycling is one of the few sports where you can feel so close to your idols. Tadej is a superstar and yet so humble and when I am on my bike I can even imagine I am doing something remotely similar to what he does on the bike. Great video!
100%
matt following the zigzag line in the marina on the beginning, already got me laughing (I'd have done the same lol). What a personality! Love these cafe rides
Me too
Matt is such a good reminder to not take yourself too seriously. I relate a lot to him, struggling to clip in, mis-shifting, and laughing the whole time :-)
My favourite World Tour pro rider of the current generation. Not just because of his talent, but the way he races, how he can race, and his attitude and sense of humour.
Too funny " yeah you can have a picture but sort your bike out first, you are scratching frame " :)
good to see he has his priorities straight
Love how he was bothered about someone’s frame being scratched. 😂
got his priorities straight
Bikes have feelings too! ;)
I don't know if anyone will read this comment, but me and my brother went to Budapest for the ITT during the Giro 2022, the crowds were big and we went to the finish after the race had ended. Weirdly we got an autograph from Bradley Wiggins which was nice, then we to the commentators box and simply winked to Matt and he came rushing down to greet us. He had no idea who we were but he chatted and gave us autographs, such a nice guy despite being on TV constantly!
Tadej is such a gem.
Love the commuter on their ebike dropping Tadej. Definitely favourite tour rider.
Bloody superb ! Matt Stevens you are a gift to this sport. What a fantastic interview. 👍🏻👌🏻
Im Danish but I must admit that this young man speaks to me. If he wins the Tour 2024 I wont be sad one bit sorry Jonas
What a great guy Tadej Is, really down to earth 😊
Best thing I've watched on UA-cam all year. 'BigRing' Matt - love how you went straight to the fridge. The absolute best. And isn't Tadej the most likable superstar talent out there? I never tire of watching him race and thoroughly enjoy seeing him interact with everyone in (or near) the peloton afterward - win or bonk. A wonderful champ. Boys, if you ever need a third on your next cafe ride - I'll make myself available.
So glad you enjoyed the video as much as we enjoyed making it!
Tadej is just a likable person who makes his job (doing press, social media, sponsor videos, and occasionally riding a bike) look fun.
Seriously one of the best video I've seen. Best 30 minutes on youtube for a while. Need more of these. So enjoyable, everything was perfect, Matt, Pogacar. 🤩
My favorite part is the wheelie coming up the climb while the bus driver waits patiently in the background. I think here in the USA, you would be getting the horn and the bus would be squeezing by, going over the opposite lane to get by
That was soooo good! Thank You !! 🙏🙏🙏 I really like Tadej ...After watching & riding nearly 4 decades it is refreshing to see someone like him again. One who rides everything & you can tell it is as he said something he enjoys & that is what he looks forward to! 👍
So glad you enjoyed it!
I have always liked Tadej, but now he is by far my favorite rider! Such a nice, down to earth guys that just love to race his bike! Matt is awesome as well! This was great to watch!
Tadey's a legend 👍
loved this bit > "sorry it bothers me how he put the bike", "you can take photo but first fix your bike, your scratching your frame"
This, Matt, is my Christmas present. I had a beaming smile all through the film. I've been lucky enough to ride in Nice, it is cycling nirvana, and the ride from Nice to Monaco is one of the most beautiful in the world.
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year. Looking forward as many other commenters have said to MdvP, Jonas and Mads editions of the Cafe Ride.
Merry Christmas!
Not a cafe ride but there is an interview of Matt with MvdP and it is bloody brilliant.
What a Xmas treat! Thank you Sigma, Matt and the main man himself. Really enjoyed that. Cafe ride series is so good.
You are so welcome! Glad you enjoyed it!
So much to love about this. The frame comment, the fact Pogi is carrying a seat-bag no doubt with a spare tube and gas. He’s a bike rider, just like us. Just happens to be world class.
The other riders blowing snot rockets in the background! LMAO
Absolutly loved the video and the vibe. Pogi has such a great character and and humor. And despite all his achivements still remained down to earth.
Tadej having his TDF number 1 on a PS4, is such a low key flex. Good enough to win 2 x TDF, but also happy enough to still have a ps4.
I was in Nice last year and rode to Monaco, and did the Madone. God, its an absolutely sensational place to ride, exactly what you see here. The coast road back to Nice is just sensational. I had my Colnago with me too, all the way from Australia. This video and these 2 guys really capture the beauty of cycling. Freedom, the wind blowing on you, exhilaration, and friendship.
OMG , this is why he’s the fans favourite and we all love the way he races , and the best thing about the coffee was the cup 😂😂😂😂
I really love Matt, what a funny guy. Also cheers for Tadej who represent our Slovenian buhtlji and pork fat, etc., great show!
I think I’m more in love with Tade than ever, and Matt too haha they’re both champions
"the best thing about that coffee was cup!" 😂😂😂😂 Brilliant! You gotta love Tadej! The boss!
Pog just loves it… For others it is a job or a process, but for him it appears to be joy.
The lad just oozes class. So likeable and humble
Tadej is such a likeable guy. Not many riders would pick a Flanders win over two TdF titles as their most special win. But then again: Not many guys would know what it feels like to having won both. That in itself is mindblowing already.
Too much focus on the Tour for my liking. I blame Greg Lemond. One day races and the classics in particular, are what drew me into cycle racing over 50 years ago.
What a great guy. Immediately ticked all the boxes with the buchtly on the table. My favourite food. 😊 Matt always makes it fun and I‘m really impressed how he can still talk along at 300W.
That was awesome!! Tadej seems like such a genuinely nice guy with a great view on life and what he wants to do. Matt!!! don't change my friend! Such a pleasure to watch. Thank you for this one and please keep them coming! Cheers
What an enjoyable young man- easy to cheer for!
What a collaboration! Matt and Tadej are the ambassadors of joyful riding😊
Hey Tadej, you deserve an Italian coffee! Ciao from Italy!!! 💪Giro d'🇮🇹👍
Brilliant, Matt’s enthusiasm and silliness masks some clever cycling journalism and @tamu_pogi sense of fun really comes out too. Love these rides though nothing will beat the emotional rollercoaster with Pippa York ….. never change Matt
Great to have another Cafe Ride. Well done Matt and crew, a fab film. Great to see the riders relaxed and having fun. More more more!!
Big Pogi fan, great to have him along side with you Matt. Did work out very well. Not sure everybody got the "that's what she said" joke, but well, for those who know...
Nice to see Pogi so relaxed and "human" knowing how a machine he is when it comes to ride for victory.
Great episode!!
why i think this video is so moving that i wanna cry
Tadej is a treasure. Brilliant young man with a good perspective.
What an awesome guy he is. And Tadej seems nice too 😂
Pogi already a legend, brilliant episode with 2 fantastic characters, loved it......
Super Fantastic interview with Pogacar by Matt Stephens. A lot of great candid moments and Pog's personality. Really good- a 10.
I've been waiting months for the next episode of Cafe Ride. Thanks so much, Matt, for this one. I was feeling down, but this really lifted my spirits!
Thats is probably one of the best interviews with TP ive seen. He finds it hard to relax...and you can see that reservation, so its a Kudos to Matt and the team for getting such a good insight. Chapeau.
So nice to have this back again. One my all time favourites
Tadej!! Love to watch you race your bike! May you enjoy and love racing until you don’t!
How have I never seen your videos on my recommended before? The video quality is so much better than GCN. Their videos usually start looking like 480p garbage any time there’s fast movement onscreen. Matt is just the cherry on top 😂
I love Matt and the Cafe rides, such entertainment and I always come away with a smile and buoyant mood. Tadej seems such a genuine and down to earth guy. My favourite, non-CX Big 3, rider. Good Luck in July.
But wouldn’t it be cool to see Pogi race the big three at a cross.
@@AndrewDemack Totally. But that's as likely as me doing it.
Thanks for this treat. One of the best. Together with Cecilie Ludwig and Daniel Oss the most fun one to watch. Gotta love grounded, humorous and humble professionals.
Wait, he rode with Ludwig? I need to see that
@ianstewart8301 yes, several years back. She was just starting with FDJ, I believe. She crazy
That was the only other one I’d seen until today when I saw Matt with Tom Pidcock and they mentioned this. She was a laugh.
@tomrees4812 so you saw Matt ride up the CX course going backwards 🤣. While the other pro just cruised by him. He is a hoot.
he is the hero, the role model for the next generation! i even love tadej
This is the best video of the year, THANK YOU! Amazing pictures of our beloved region, too!
This was awesome, always great to see the riders personality. Thank you for doing all of these!!!
Nice one Matt; got to love Tadej, such a great lad and an incredible rider to watch.
Amazing person. so humble you can tell he really enjoys and really love cycling
Respect Tadej, humble with sense of humor. !!
Matt is such a fantastic host. He makes people comfortable, vulnerable even. Love the Cafe Ride. Tadej is the GC Sagan.
Just brilliant! Best thing about that coffee, the cup! 😂
An iconic line!
loved it when Tadej tells the guy to park the bike properly. he could have any expensive bike and just change to another bike but keeps taking care of them. lovely
Loved every moment of that, both of them are special but in different ways.
I was smiling all the way through and didn't want it to end..... well done all involved 😁😁👍👍❤❤
