Matthew Brennan returned to racing after a break, participating in the Tour de Pologne. He expressed that despite rising expectations, he is under no pressure from his team and is there primarily to learn. Brennan, in his breakthrough season, has achieved eight wins, including three at WorldTour events. He plans to pursue stage victories and assess his General Classification (GC) ambitions day by day, noting that his good form and familiarity with the race terrain are advantages.
I'm just here to learn, if I don't do anything from here to the end of the season then it's not a problem. It's also a learning process, so if it starts going well again then that's brilliant and if not, that's no stress, we just try and work the moment in process and see what I do.
In the upcoming days, I'll go for a stage, and if I'm sitting OK on GC, then see what the GC ambitions are like and see how I feel. I'll just take it day by day, there's no pressure. I'm here to learn.
His form, he said, is good after a break and then a return to training. He's also familiar with some of the terrain the race will cover in south Poland, too, which is always a plus, thanks to doing the amateur Orlen Cup in the region.
Brennan has so far had a breakthrough first season, with a capital 'B', with eight wins including three at WorldTour level, two stages in the Volta a Catalunya and one in the Tour of Romandie.
