Maria Veitolan in Yökylä in the most recent season, journalist Maria Veitola visited Valtteri Bottas and Tiffany Cromwell in Monaco.
When the episode aired, a discussion started in the comment field of Veitola’s Instagram update. The focus was Cromwell’s performance.
Some thought the Australian cyclist seemed likeable and shy in front of the cameras. Some think Cromwell got a distant picture.
Among other things Stop reports on the reactions caused by the episode.
Cromwell, who is on a visit to Lahti, tells Iltalehti that he has not read or seen the discussion generated by the episode.
Cromwell also admits that a film crew and a reporter staying overnight at a sports star’s home is quite a rare situation.
– At least it was different. Valtteri wanted to do that episode, so I had nothing against it. It was an interesting experience, because I have not done any similar program before.
– It put me a little outside my comfort zone, because I was working out when the film crew arrived. My first encounter with them was when I got home from training, so I hadn’t had time to prepare much.
Descriptions of a shy personality fit Cromwell. He describes himself as social, having gotten to know people better.
– Around people I don’t know, I’m initially more reserved and consider my words a little more carefully. After getting to know each other, it’s easier to join the conversation.
– I’m not really interested in what others comment or think about the episode. It’s not worth spending too much time on, says Cromwell.
177 km race
In Lahti, Cromwell and Bottas were talking about the Fnld grvl event. In the summer, gravel bikes are used in Lahti’s terrain.
Bottas will participate in the middle distance race, which is 77 kilometers long. Road cyclist Cromwell, on the other hand, competes in the 177 kilometer race.
– A wonderful race is coming up, and the race routes are really great. Even though there are top names, we want to emphasize that gravel cycling is suitable for everyone, and that’s why we also hope that cyclists of different levels will come to the event, if only to enjoy the Finnish summer.
The immobility of Finns, especially children and young people, has been a big talk in Finland. Cromwell has not discussed the theme much with his partner Bottas.
– I have always considered Finns to be a mobile people. We want to encourage everyone to exercise, regardless of age.
– According to my experiences in Australia, exercise and sports are a big part of school and outside. From time to time there has been talk about how to get children to move even more, but I would estimate that the situation is good overall.
