After what was a very strong month of March,
Michael Matthews is set to be the team leader for
Team BikeExchange - Jayco at the Tour des Flandres, and with the recent form he's had he'll go in as an outsider favourite for the race.
“It’s
Tour of Flanders number three for me. The first time I did it in 2019 I was sixth, and it was quite a good result, but last year I had two crashes and not much luck.My shape seems to be good, and I come here with the win in Catalunya off the shoulders and that is what I went to Spain for," Matthews said in a pre-race interview. After having gotten Covid in February, and abandon Catalunya with illness, it's unsure if he'll be carrying the same form, but he's confident of it.
