Matthew Brennan, a 19-year-old sprinting talent with Visma-Lease A Bike, has been making waves in the WorldTour circuit, achieving four pro victories, including significant races like GP de Denain and stages in prominent tours. Despite comparisons with renowned cyclists Mark Cavendish and Wout van Aert, Brennan emphasizes the importance of carving his own path. His strong performance, particularly at the GP de Denain, quickly opened opportunities, including a debut in the challenging Paris-Roubaix race. Brennan acknowledges his unique trajectory in cycling, encouraging individuality over imitation.
"If people want to compare me to them, that's fine. I take it as a compliment. But I shouldn't do that, I should focus on myself."
"After Denain, I got a message from Mathieu Heijboer... All day I was asking myself what he wanted from me. Or had I done something wrong?"
