Is there a cycling equivalent to “jogger?”
Maybe they’re that? 
This is a good one because I had no idea. Is it Muh-tay-ew? Mah-tyew? Mat-chew? Something else?

Maybe we can all agree that triathletes aren’t cyclists

Whether you believe me or not isn’t the slightest bit important.
In my opinion, natch.

See, I think that sounds like the third one, but someone above said the second. This is why I asked. It seems there is agreement it’s not “Math-you”, but there are lots of ways to pronounce Mathieu, so I was trying to see if there was any definite “this is the way his mother says his name”.

I always thought it was “matt-chew”. Which I always found amusing because my aunt used to always pronounce my name that way and my name is spelled “Matthew”.

I resemble that remark.
It was much better when I was younger and called “Elite” in AusCycling terms. It didn’t matter if you were A,B,C or D grade or maybe never even raced… “Elite” thankyouverymuch

Schraeder valves are better. Unless your rim is so narrow the extra millimeters compromise your rim strength, presta valves are unnecessary.

Regardless if we go for French or Dutch pronunciation it’s 100% not Matthew!

The discussion of MVDP name has strong, “it’s pronounced gif” vibes.

He definitely pronounces it like the French do. There’s no “eu” sound in English, hence all the “ew” and “oo”

There’s no “ch” in there. But then again there’s no “ew” either.
My unpopular opinion is that Eddy Hoole is just misunderstood and people should get off his back.
Lol.
