Impressive debut win for 19 year old Matthew Brennan of Visma in the Grand Prix de Denain, a pretty tough cobbled race along part of the Paris-Roubaix course.

And he does it again, an incredible win in Stage 1 of the Tour of Catalonia!

I just read this on the BBC and looked him up. He has some truly fantastic results for someone so young.

And he did it again. I remember a young British sprinter bursting onto the scene about twenty one years ago.  What ever happened to him?!?!

 

Apologies Brennan for the comparison but he'll have to get used to it if he keeps going like this.

Thing is, I'm not sure he's just a sprinter, though clearly he's riding as one in Catalonia - he broke the world junior record in the individual pursuit on the track, and he was a national champion in the stayers derny class.

Yeah, he's got an interesting range.
