Is there anyone who does not like Marc Hirschi?
The young Bernese from Ittigen was already praised at the Tour de France for his aggressive riding style and for his humble appearance next to the bike. Now, at the latest, after his bronze medal at the World Cup, Hirschi is definitely on everyone’s lips. How are you dealing with the new popularity? “It’s amazing what is happening on social media. When I show a good race, there are a lot of comments, ”says Hirschi.
In fact, the number of visitors to your accounts has skyrocketed compared to two months ago. Before the Tour de France, Hirschi received around 10-20 responses for every Instagram photo posted, since then there have been hundreds or even thousands. Most of them congratulations. But there are also many people who send direct messages to cycling talent through social media. “I find it more beautiful when older people or children write to me. The lyrics are usually very sweet, ”says Hirschi.
Groupie advances part of the business
Young women also write to Hirschi, sometimes with ambiguous or even unequivocal love messages. Is there an immoral offer between them? “That happens more and more,” says Hirschi with a laugh. However, he is relaxed with the advances of the groupie. You know it’s part of the business.
Anyway, Hirschi doesn’t have much time to study all the news at this point. Already on Wednesday he will lead the Ardennes classic Flèche-Wallonne and on Sunday Liège-Bastogne-Liège. Two careers that suit you. But it’s also a steep schedule, especially since the Sunweb pro has been feeling the strain in recent weeks. “I also feel a bit fast. But I’m on vacation in two weeks, ”he says. You can feel: it is already waiting for you.
