- A lot of his advertising is built around a particularly 'aggressive' persona, "Fierce like a tiger", but I feel like a part of his performance as a public figure involves a certain degree of 'kayfabe', and presenting a lot of very amicable rivalries in a more dramatic fashion that people eat up.
- I feel like he doesn't realize how tired or low on energy he is because he tends to just push through it, which is why he ends up bumping into things or ends up being a bit weirdly clumsy in spite of knowing things. He should probably give himeslf more days off.
- I feel like people would not really anticipate how much he truly knows about the things he does, and you'd make a small comment about his ride and he'd promptly give you like. a full several minute response about his ride or the history of racing or how he thought someone was during a performance. People might expect with his outgoing and fun loving face he might just be entirely in this for the racing, but he knows a lot and frequently has to be like "nah, man, I know what I'm doing" to someone while he's tinkering with his bike before the race.
- He's sort of a weirdly mixed bag to be on a team with, honestly? Like nobody dislikes him, he's just too damn friendly and means too well, and he's always so genuine, but he's not a team player if that makes any sense. Even when racing with a team he always strives to be both the best racer there and the best racer on his team, so he really doesn't give anyone any slack in the race.
