G!RO Talks To Matt Stephens - a podcast by Jordan Addison
from 2020-02-07T07:48:13
A true star & very recognisable figure of British Cycling, there isn't much Matt Stephens hasn't achieved. From growing up racing across the UK scene in the 80s & 90s, turning professional & racing all over the world, through to becoming British Road Race National Champion in 1998, & more recently gracing our screens as a commentator & reporter for Eurosport's Cycling Coverage.
We had the chance to sit down with Matt over a coffee here at G!RO to hear first hand what it was like racing in a scene that was a shadow of where we see cycling here in the UK today. Cycling is now a nationally celebrated sport, but for Matt to take the step to turn professional was a lesser trodden path in the 90s. Its clear that Matt still has the same passion now that he had as a youth racing for his local Hemel Hampstead Cycling Club & we loved sitting with him to hear his stories. This is hopefully one of a few more podcasts with this true gent!
So sit back, grab a brew and enjoy!
