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?!

@DrJRMCFC 5 жыл бұрын

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.

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.

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.
