"This one is really for them" - Michael Matthews praises Jayco AlUla teammates after Giro d'Italia stage win

Michael Matthews returned to winning way for the first time this year thanks to a brilliant stage win at the Giro d'Italia. According to the Australian, his Team Jayco AlUla teammate's hard work was the key to victory.
"Honestly, I'm speechless," said Matthews in a post-race interview taken immediately after his victory. “What I've been through these past few months... to come back like this now is really amazing. It's been quite a rollercoaster."
With Jayco AlUla being on the front of the peloton all day long, they tried their best to keep the pace high on the two climbs that came in the final 50km and put massive pressure on Mads Pedersen. Although the Trek - Segafredo man made his way back into the bunch, tired legs meant he couldn't match Matthews in the final sprint.
“They honestly did everything for me on this ride, everyone. I have no words for it. I came here to just have fun with the guys in this Giro and what they do for me here is fantastic. This one is really for them," continues Matthews. “I did indeed hear that Mads was off and hoped that that would have made him a bit broken for the sprint. I also started early, which worked."
