Team BikeExchange - Jayco are starting the Bretagne Classic with six riders, however with high ambitions as they bring in several riders well suited to the French classic in which Michael Matthews will be a main favourite.
Matthews will be returning to racing after the Tour de France, as his Clasica San Sebastian was disappointing and seen him not complete the race. Matthews was the winner of the race in 2020, and the man who finished second on that day Luka Mezgec will be teaming up. Both riders are fit for the classics-style racing and the flat finish in Plouay suit the duo, with Dion Smith another option for the finale.
“I’m really looking forward to going back to Plouay and the Bretagne Classic, last time I was there I was able to win the race, which was one of my big goals in my career," Matthews said in a press release. "It’s such a beautiful race and I love the roads around there. I’m really excited to return this year, obviously I’m not defending the title, but I didn’t get to go back last year after winning in 2020, so it will be good to be back again and I think we have a great team for it too.” Jan Maas, Tanel Kangert and Tsgabu Grmay complete the lineup in search of a strong result.
Team BikeExchange - Jayco for Bretagne Classic: Michael Matthews, Luka Mezgec, Dion Smith, Jan Maas, Tanel Kangert and Tsgabu Grmay.

- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
