Statements

Michael Matthews (Jayco): «I think my shape during spring has been good but not enough to be on the highest step of the podium. It’s nice to finish this block with a victory here in Frankfurt. This has been a career that has really gone well for many years, and I have not been able to win it. Arriving here today with the team as we have raised and executed a performance like the one they have done today for me, only put the icing on the cake. I did not expect my team to strive so much on the second climb. But we divide the platoon and get rid of many of the fastest, which was the goal. The performance today has been exceptional, and ending the way I have done it, I am very grateful to my colleagues ».
