2025 was a massive year for you, on the back of several big seasons. Are things different for you racing this year?

Are you going to have to change your approach to take the next step — being a marked man and all that?

Everyone asks you "what's next." How do you think about that kind of question? Do you think in steps?

How do you handle all of the training camps and time away from home?

Tell us a bit about where you're from — the terrain, the weather.

Where does your aggressive racing style come from? Have you always been that attacking character?

You race for Ireland. Can you tell the story of being on the GB program, getting let go, and choosing to keep going?

Through all of that — were you just following the next opportunity, or did you have a sense that you could make it to the top?

How do you maintain that relaxed, enjoyable approach in what is, by any measure, a high-pressure world?

Do you feel like you now know what works for you — do you have the confidence to say, this is what I need?

You said something once, that you need to "tame the Mad Dog Ben." What is that?

A lot of people describe your racing style as a throwback — a romantic, old-school attacking style. Is that something you want to protect, even as you become more tactical?

What does it feel like to win a bike race alone — to win from a solo attack?

What was that like — seeing people you see every day suddenly losing it?

There was a quote in one of the papers about the moment you realized your life had changed — when you saw people filming you on their phones after losing the jersey. Can you talk about noticing the shift in attention?

Could you ever have imagined any of this?

Do you think you'll ever adapt to the attention, or is this just the new normal?

Tell us about the relationship with your coach Jacob. You have worked together for 10 years now. How did that develop?

How do the two of you work together on preparing for a season?

He mentioned it seems fun for you — is that part of why you keep succeeding?

What's got your attention most at the moment, technically or tactically?

What are the big goals for the coming years?

What was your biggest learning from 2025?

What do you want to achieve in your career? And what does that even mean to you?

Are you not primarily motivated by winning itself?

Last question: who were you before all of this success, and how do you relate to that person now?
