A Casual Coffee Chat with Tom Boonen and Mark Cavendish

Tom Boonen: Mark, it’s fantastic to finally catch up! How’s life treating you both on and off the bike?

Mark Cavendish: Boonen, my man! It’s been a whirlwind, as always. You know how it is—training, racing, then trying to squeeze in some family time in between. How about you? How’s the retirement treating you?

Tom Boonen: Honestly, it’s been a mix of relaxation and excitement. I’ve been getting into some pretty cool ventures outside of cycling. But I’ve also missed the peloton life, the camaraderie, and the competition. Sometimes I even miss those brutal cobblestones of Paris-Roubaix!

Mark Cavendish: (Laughs) You’re one of the few who’d miss cobblestones. But I get it, mate. There’s something unique about those races. Speaking of which, have you taken up any new sports or hobbies?

Tom Boonen: Oh, I’ve been dabbling in some motorsports recently. It’s quite the adrenaline rush, similar to a sprint finish but with an engine. And I’ve got to admit, it’s a bit easier on the knees!

Mark Cavendish: Man, that sounds thrilling! I’ve been thinking of doing something similar—maybe some track days. It seems like the perfect way to get that speed fix without having to pedal!

Tom Boonen: Absolutely, you’d love it! It’s also a great way to channel that competitive spirit. By the way, I saw your last sprint finish—still got that magic touch, I see!

Mark Cavendish: Thanks, Tom! You know, some days I feel like I’m still 25, and then other days… well, let’s just say recovery isn’t as quick as it used to be. But hey, those are the days we really get to test our grit, right?

Tom Boonen: Definitely. And speaking of endurance, how’s the family? Your kiddos still keeping you on your toes?

Mark Cavendish: Oh, constantly. They’re growing up so fast. It’s like a race I can’t win, but wouldn’t want to because every day, there’s something new and amazing. And yours? Still enjoying the dad life?

Tom Boonen: Absolutely, it’s been incredible watching them grow and discovering new passions together. It’s like a different kind of race, but just as rewarding.

Mark Cavendish: Well, here’s to new adventures, on and off the bike. Maybe one day we’ll get to race something mechanical together. Until then, how about another round of coffee?

Tom Boonen: Sounds like a plan, Mark. Cheers to that and to many more memories to come!
