Team Sunweb continue strong season with Michael Matthews win at Bretagne Classic |
|
Team Sunweb continued with their winning ways into the season restart, with Michael Matthews notching the Men's programs eighth success of the season so far at the Bretagne Classic today after a phenomenal team effort.
After a fantastic ride at Milano-Sanremo which saw the team and Matthews take third place at the opening Monument of the year, they lined up today with the aim of setting up Matthews for the finish. Riding cohesively as a unit throughout the race, the team were strong to keep Matthews well positioned. Heading into the finale there were numerous attacks but the team stood their ground, with Nils Eekhoff riding brilliantly to cover the dangerous moves after the team brought them into a prime position for the closing stages. The team's fantastic efforts were rewarded with Matthews producing an incredibly strong kick to the line, winning with ease, with Eekhoff posting up to celebrate in the background - rounding out a fantastic day for Team Sunweb.
