Luke Rowe had a very familiar helper in the the team car at the Tour of Wallonie time trial: his son.
Ollie Rowe sat in the passenger seat of the Ineos-Grenadiers car, barking out encouragement on the radio. Rowe’s teammate Filippo Ganna won the 32.7 km test in Mons, Belgium, but young Ollie definitely won the Internet.
“Daddy, daddy, roundabout!” the boy says into the radio. “Daddy, go faster!”
The team staff member driving the car tells Ollie that he’s doing a great job and would make for a good sports director.

This isn’t the first time Rowe’s son has snagged some Internet fame. In the 2022 Tour de France when Rowe rode by the camera he gave his son a shoutout, saying “hey Ollie!”
Rowe would go onto finish 70th in the time trial, but who cares–this little clip was a victory for everyone who loves the sport.
