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.
