There is a certain quality that great actors have. It's not just acting talent, it's the unique quailty that makes you WANT to watch them on-screen. I guess it's what they call charisma. Matt is LOADED with it! It's just that likeability that comes through and makes you enjoy watching him, whatever he's doing. Great job Matt!! Who else would love to see him paired with Phil on Tour TV coverage?!
Enigma71559 He would be wasted with Phil. Matt is light years ahead and far more knowledgeable. He should stay on Eurosport where the best technical and tactical commentary is.
More so, what I love about Matt is that he's a an every-man and a journeyman. I love it that he's been through the rough and the smooth - you respect folks like that. A natural. Matt, keep it real and keep smiling! Brilliant.
Matt "Cafe rides series" are fantastic for the fans,keep up the good work Matt!Nice to know through this series and your interwiews some of the best cyclist in world tour.
Re-watching the Cafe Rides and realising how many things we took for granted before COVID. What I wouldn't give to be able to sit in a cafe and chat to a friend right now..... 😥
How important is it to have our Dads in the scene ,Alas lost mine age 4 years but with pride Alex and others talk about there Dads,love the laughs thanks Sigma
I did wonder how you were going to better or equal the first one with Charlie's dad but you have nailed it. Great episode, great guy and cracking format too. Well done to everyone involved.
Funny to hear Alex talk about his Dad, I always used to gravitate to chatting to his Dad on the club rides because I remembered him from watching BTCC and Endurance at Brands etc, he was a talent of his day. Alex always has time for the youngsters on the rides.
Excellent stuff. Great start to the day. Alex seems to be a really nice bloke and very understated on his achievements.With the rapport Matt has with Alberto Contador it would be great to see a café ride with the two of them at some stageLook forward to the next instalment and part two with Nick Craig
Excellent video and amusing to see Matt just about hanging on as Alex pedalled easily. Interesting brief talk about a 10 sprocket and there was a lovely 911 in the garage (Turbo or GT3?)
Another super video. Relaxed and familiar. Matt and Alex a great conversation pair and they compliment each other so well: Matt in cafe mode and Alex on the bike🤣
Alex is very humble he took part in a relay race with three teamamates that lasted over 24 hrs .... he accidently gave a teamate a helping push during the relay exchange..and knocked him over.. his teamates could not stop making fun of him and bring this up on various times they meet him. Those are the memories that last.
Great Vid Matt, content is becoming really good MSCN (Matt Stephens cycling network ) great work Cycling, coffee and chat what more could any cyclist want 🚴♂️👏👏👏
Loved the chat. It gives you an incite into the great man. Dont the Yates brothers live in Andorra. Sounds like a cool place to live, cycle and Snowboard.
Watching Matt talk to people you realise what GCN are missing at the moment. With Emma leaving too it's leaving them a little depleted, the new guys are good, I love both Hank and Chris and of course Simon and Lloydy but they're missing the fun, goon that Matt is. How on earth am I going to find the time to watch both :-) Love the series Matt! Keep em coming and I agree you would be great on Tour replacing Chris Boardman with rider insigth ETC.
clips in with the same alacrity (or lack thereof) as Matt! This series is great. Matt's a great & fun presenter, and a nifty rider. Totally subbed due to Matt moving here. Only thing: they should have been on the right side of the road when riding in "Belgium" ;-)

More of these please! This is one of the best series on UA-cam at the moment!
Cheers Gary, thanks for watching!
@@sigmasports We need the follow-up episode now Alex has moved to Andorra!
Matt should do a series called, "on a tandem with matt stephens". Im sure there will be lots of laughs
Dean Thompson They would never manage to clip in......ever 😁
I wouldn't want to be riding behind Matt though. I've heard some pretty damn funny noises from him on other videos - phew!!!!
There's also a series by the State Bicycle Co. called Riding Fixed Up Mountains, With Pros. Does what it says in the tin, also quite interesting.
Or 'clipping in' with matt stevens
Love the scene where Alex world tour rider, ex hour record holder, giro stage winner was holding the camera for the Stephens fan shot. Both legends.
Me thinks Matt was in a slightly higher training zone than Alex during this one.......
Alex has been off with an injury.
What a lovely chap, Alex is a fun guy too.
This is like Seinfeld’s “Comedians in Cars” but with Matt Stephens on bikes. Brilliant! ❤️
That was lovely! I've missed Matt on GCN and had no idea this existed. I'm looking forward to watching more!
Cheeers Kathy!
Matt and Alex chatting?? This is heaven right here. Wow I've been dreaming/wishing for this for months - thanks for listening! : )
Matt Stephens is the perfect cafe mate!
Matt Stephens at his best can't wait to see more of these.
Alex, Channel, Matt and Meeeowbert. What's not to like! Great stuff Sigma
Cheers Derek!
Keep these episodes coming. Get Matt on telly folks more! Brilliant style.
More so, what I love about Matt is that he's a an every-man and a journeyman. I love it that he's been through the rough and the smooth - you respect folks like that. A natural. Matt, keep it real and keep smiling! Brilliant.
More Matt vids please, the best cycling presenter ever
Good to see Stephens still has trouble clipping in @ 0:52
Matt "Cafe rides series" are fantastic for the fans,keep up the good work Matt!Nice to know through this series and your interwiews some of the best cyclist in world tour.
Two of my all time favourite riders. Matt is such a real character. If only the world had more Matt Stephens.
Cafe Ride is now my favorite thing on UA-cam! Just please make them longer!
Films like this are a real treat well done Matt and Sigma sport
Matt, these videos are fantastic. Great unique insight
Thank you! 🙂
Ah, my home roads.... Im often at the Egg and have met AD several times, always happy to chat, real nice man.
Sigma Sports gives us the products we want and the UA-cam content we want.
Brilliant. My favourite part was Matt smelling the tea 😂
What an exceptional odour 😂
I think that "aroma" might be the word you're looking for, Matt. :)
Re-watching the Cafe Rides and realising how many things we took for granted before COVID. What I wouldn't give to be able to sit in a cafe and chat to a friend right now..... 😥
How important is it to have our Dads in the scene ,Alas lost mine age 4 years but with pride Alex and others talk about there Dads,love the laughs thanks Sigma
If Matt hadn't been a pro cyclist then I reckon he would have been the Ben Stiller of Hollywood !! Likes the camera !
I believe the feeling's mutual.
I did wonder how you were going to better or equal the first one with Charlie's dad but you have nailed it. Great episode, great guy and cracking format too. Well done to everyone involved.
This was a lovely interview format, so relaxed and friendly. But poor Matt, absolutely swinging! 😂
Matt Stevens- could listen to him all day. Top man, so likeable and knowledgeable too.
Funny to hear Alex talk about his Dad, I always used to gravitate to chatting to his Dad on the club rides because I remembered him from watching BTCC and Endurance at Brands etc, he was a talent of his day. Alex always has time for the youngsters on the rides.
Superb thanks Sigma Sport. Loving the Christmas tunes.
0:51 still can't clip in first time 😂 loving the series!
Brilliant. What a relaxed guy Alex is. It cracked me up seeing him taking pics of Matt.
Still love GCN but missed Matt presenting, so really chuffed to have found this channel. The Guy is just such fun to watch, a real natural!
Still Christmas in Essex!! Great stuff from Matt once more 👍🚴♂️🚴♂️
Excellent stuff. Great start to the day. Alex seems to be a really nice bloke and very understated on his achievements.With the rapport Matt has with Alberto Contador it would be great to see a café ride with the two of them at some stageLook forward to the next instalment and part two with Nick Craig
I appreciated Matt’s enthusiasm for tea.
Yes! His Royal Thighness! Aka the cookie monster.
How have I not seen these vids before. They're brilliant. Will be gutted once I've watched them all. Please make some more
Thanks for watching Jeffrey, glad you have discovered The Cafe Ride. New episodes are coming in 2022. Stay tuned!
Two of my favourite cyclist's right there. Thank you Sigma.
Thanks for watching Stephen!
This series is just great.
Great to see you again. Really missed you on GCN
Alex always comes over as a decent guy. Hope the move helps him go onto even better things.
Those Essex roads though :-(
one of the nicest pro's out there , proper down to earth
Great video Matt; more of these please 👍
Totally agree. More of Matt, please 👌
Great video. What a humble nice guy Alex is 👍🏻

Amazing, that spin of mr Alex & mr Matt.. 😊🤙🏼
Thanks for leaving me with another big smile on my face!
Another brilliant episode......that distinctive tea odour.....love it
Brilliant! Two of my favourite people in cycling ;-))
Excellent video and amusing to see Matt just about hanging on as Alex pedalled easily. Interesting brief talk about a 10 sprocket and there was a lovely 911 in the garage (Turbo or GT3?)
I just loved this episode! More of these please.
Dowsett is absolutely rock solid on the bike. No movement
So Great Video! Love Matt and Alex Please more with him !
Excellent video. Really enjoyed it, interesting insight into life as a pro cyclist, more of the same please 😀

Another super video. Relaxed and familiar. Matt and Alex a great conversation pair and they compliment each other so well: Matt in cafe mode and Alex on the bike🤣
What a cracking bloke Matt Stephens is! Great insight from Alex there too
Matt you are very welcome to come to Andorra. Awesome coffee too. And over 50 pros you can meet up with whom to share anecdotes!
Great video guys. Never realised Alex was Phil Dowsett's son!...oh, and thanks for the tip on where to keep my extra inner tubes Alex! ;)
Another great vid. Thanks for these.
More of this videos please.......brilliant
My favourite video on UA-cam, hands down!
Alex is very humble he took part in a relay race with three teamamates that lasted over 24 hrs .... he accidently gave a teamate a helping push during the relay exchange..and knocked him over.. his teamates could not stop making fun of him and bring this up on various times they meet him.

I enjoy these videos so much. Thank-you mate!
I love these cafe rides and fair play Matt loves his grub
Another fantastic video, really loving this series
EXCELLENT , Matt !!
Really enjoy this format of you sharing a ride and chat with great riders !
That little intro tune is so soothing
Just found this. Forgot how much I love hearing Matt talk cycling. How about a cafe' ride with Lachlan Morton?
Matt and Alex in the same video; two of my favourite cycling personas! Hope you do a sequel :)
Just discovered this channel, really enjoying going through the backlog. This series in particular is excellent!
Thank you for watching!
Awesome video Matt & Alex love it.
Two top guys there
Great video
Thanks!
Really enjoyable, Matt. As others have said, it would be great to see more like this.
Great Vid Matt, content is becoming really good MSCN (Matt Stephens cycling network ) great work
Cycling, coffee and chat what more could any cyclist want 🚴♂️👏👏👏
Brilliant !!!
Have moved away from GCN and I only watch Sigma and Thighs Club now! - Two great personalities, would love to see some more.
Thanks for watching Ben!
Crumbs those full English brekkies! Scary and no bonking afterward? Love the videos. Keep it up good stuff
That was terrific.
Nice to hear the Mud appreciation going on!
I want covid to stop so Matt can start producing these cafe rides video again.
Loved the chat. It gives you an incite into the great man. Dont the Yates brothers live in Andorra. Sounds like a cool place to live, cycle and Snowboard.
Matt is the best
This is so good, make more video like this.
Riding with the illustrious Cookie Monster!

that was a very delightful chat!
12:14
That would pretty much be my reaction if I saw Matt walk into my house
love these,keep em coming.
Alex seems like a delightfully down to earth lad.
Matt is funny bro. Would love to do a ride with him.
