An emotional Michael Matthews repaid the hard work of his Team Jayco AlUla teammates by securing his first win since the 2022 Tour de France in a reduced bunch sprint on stage 3 of the Giro d'Italia.
Working hard on the front of the peloton for most of the day, Jayco AlUla kept the pace high and tried their best to drop as many of the peloton's top sprinters as they could. Whilst many, such as Mark Cavendish were indeed forced to wait for another chance on another day, both Mads Pedersen and Kaden Groves were able to hang on meaning Matthews wouldn't have it all his own way in the final sprint.

- They couldn’t convict him criminally because he paid up to escape it (that weird American possibility that ensures not all are equal before the law). He was convicted civilly but technically for committing crime. I on the other hand live in a country where unexplained damage to a baby in your care in theory leads to minimum 5 years of prison, if you admit an accident it’s more lenient but telling the truth that you don’t know how a bump on the skull happened exposes you to the as much risk as some who murder and rape. The developed world doesn’t deserve that designationMistermaumau20-11-2024
- Doesn’t deserve criticism considering all he won with all the crashes plus how close he got to a TdF (Pog had luck). If Pog and Jonas battle and wipe each other out we have Remco and Primoz to put on a show.Mistermaumau20-11-2024
- Agreed. Until he can stay upright on his bike, he’s at best an incomplete for a grade. That doesn’t mean that on his best form he can’t win it all. We just haven’t seen it.mij20-11-2024

- After the Cian Saga, all contracts should have a release clause or at least a legal framework for contract breaking. this is getting ridiculous.abstractengineer20-11-2024
- Other than Pog, the other leaders are beatable and They contributed 56 wins. But when team strategy is to pit best leaders against Pog and so-so leaders against Hirschi, Yates, Mcnulty, that team is going to lose everything.abstractengineer20-11-2024
- The ones I know were great races, sure, but all of cycling history, and they're almost all from 2010 to now? Yeah no. I mean, great choices, some amazing stages, watched many of them live, have re-watched many of them when I could, but really this is 8 great races from the past 15 years, plus two others.RidesHills19-11-2024
