Michael Matthews (Team Jayco AiUla) finished off a perfect team performance sprinting to win at Eschborn-Frankfurt. The 34-year-old had a consistent spring campaign with a well-deserved win. Team Jayco AiUla took to the front of the bunch ahead of the demanding hilly section and shredding the peloton to leave 30 riders in contention.
"I think my shape throug the spring was good, I just wasn't on the top step. It's nice to finish off this block with a win here in Frankfurt. It's a race that has really suited me for a lot of years and I haven't been able to win, so to come here with the team and the way we rode - we rode perfectly - and to execute a performance like my team did today it was the icing on top of the cake.
I didn't expect my team to go so hard on the second long climb, but we split the bunch a lot and got rid of a lot of the fast guys, which was the goal. I think the team's performance was exceptional and to finish it off the way I did, I'm so thankful to my teammates."
