Tour de France champion Sam Bennett was determined to win the race of his life, at home, by his biggest fan, his grandfather Pat.
at Cashin, 89, was filmed as he watched the television career unfold with the video posted online by Tipp FM tonight.
Despite the intense moments, there was no way that the Tipperary rider’s grandfather would doubt Sam’s ability to win.
Wearing a mask and standing by the TV, Pat repeated the mantra, “Come on Sam, come on Sam,” while rubbing his hands together.
His eyes never left the screen once and even when the race was over, Pat was still glued to the screen.
Full of adrenaline and still standing by the television while his grandson did a glory lap, Pat said: “It was a race. Ah, thank goodness. “
Someone in the background says, “We did it” and Pat replies, “We sure did.”
Tipp FM posted the video, viewed by over 100,000. The radio station tweeted:
“If it hadn’t been for Covid, 89-year-old Pat would have been there in person.”
