'I couldn't use any of my fingers' – Michael Matthews back on the bike after breaking both arms in training crash

Michael Matthews sprinting with others behind.

Six weeks after breaking both of his arms in a training crash, Michael Matthews (Jayco-AlUla) is back on the bike and closer to putting what he described as a "difficult period" behind him.

"I just want to thank the team for all their support, for all of your messages - I'm trying to get back to all of you, but for a long time, I couldn't use any of my fingers on my hands, so it was obviously really difficult to reply to you all, but I was thinking about all your messages, and I really appreciate it," he said in a video posted by his team on Instagram.
