Leave us your favourite Matt Moment in the comments 👇

@sebastienstoelen8839 8 years ago

I've never wrote a comment on Youtube, so my first comment is for Matt. So Matt, thank you for all these epic moments you offert us in these 4 years. I wish you all the best for your next challenges.

@reginaldscot165 8 years ago

Matt is my Favourite presenter, he is different from the other guys and he is really needed to add some balance to the show. He will be sadly missed.

@MikeBertelsenDK 8 years ago

I am going to miss Matt. It's weird because none of us really "know these guys", but you still feel a personal connection to them, you know. They are all our pals and we share the same interest, so hearing that Matt is leaving GCN is like having a mate moving away.

Thank you for great times Matt, you will definitely be missed! I hope you'll visit GCN from time to time as a guest.

@tabishop3 8 years ago

We need a compilation video of all Matt's biggest laughs throughout his GCN years. His laugh always makes me smile.

@brandywell44 8 years ago

There will be new GCN Presenters but Matt is unique and irreplaceable. I shall miss that laugh of his. Top moments; The recent video with Emma in Andalucia was for me really enjoyable. And I can't forget that one where he fell of his bike jumping over a small log when he was cyclocrossing, Classic Matt that was.

@AP-vd8ve 8 years ago

I guess we will listen Matt's voice in eurosport and feel nostalgia from now on

@0dan_fish0 8 years ago

So gutted that Matt's leaving GCN! He'll be missed, what a legend. Good luck for the future Matt 🍻

In honour of your outstanding service to GCN I think Dan should have a tight perm for a month to allow us Matt fans time to adjust....

@Pasquello 8 years ago

Noooooooooooooooooooooooo !!!!
Please please keep the "bad-boys-have-fun"-style and keep it small and causy. Do not grow to seriously and big GCN. The "3 friends go biking together"-feeling was characteristic for your succes, the combi of humor and knowledge was top. Matt had a huge part in that. GCN will never be the same.

@NielsHeldens 8 years ago

A sad moment. Thank you Matt for every bit of banter, information and anything else you have done for us and GCN! I wish you a lot of success in your future adventures! Now, put on your wig, barely clip in and have some beers you legend!

@th_js 8 years ago

Goodbye Matt, will miss you so much on GCN 😢

@mg0041 8 years ago

So sad... Hopefully some guest appearances regularly....

@prajwalpingali 8 years ago

DON'T LEAVE MATT,

Thank you very much for all the times you have spent with us. We love you

@conorgeary6060 8 years ago

So shocked, can't believe Matt is leaving, a big loss to GCN. It won't be the same. Good luck with everything you do from here and do drop by GCN whenever you can. You will be missed!🚴

@ebal08 8 years ago

Aww Matt will be missed so much.

@SwedishHouseFifa 8 years ago

OMG NO MATT PLZ BE A LATE APRIL FOOLS JOKE :(

@greg_loper 8 years ago

I cannot imagine GCN without Matt. Yet, I am exceedingly excited that he will be calling races. Beyond that, speechless.

@yosoy-steve 6 years ago (edited)

Well a year and a half later I found GCN and the sister YT channels and while everyone has had all that time to move past this sad moment, it starts today for me. Thank you, Matt, for your time insight and exceptional contribution to the GCN Blooper reels. You and GCN have helped get me back on my bike after 15 years of absence. I can't thank you enough!

@parthsrinivasan 8 years ago

at first i thought this was probably a delayed April fool's joke..but i'm kinda sad to see Matt leave! Don't get me wrong guys, your shows are absolutely amazing, and Emma has made them even better! but Matt brought in a unique flavour that would be missed..i mean, how often are we going to see Si/Dan/Emma crash or have troubles clipping in? :P
Good luck to you Matt! looking forward to the Giro now..!
