Michael Matthews, the Australian star known throughout cycling as 'Bling', will be shooting for more Grand Tour baubles when he headlines Team Jayco AlUla's three-pronged bid for glory at the Tour de France.
In the Australian team's eight-strong squad named on Thursday, Matthews will be joined by Dutch sprinter Dylan Groenewegen and British general classification contender Simon Yates as potential threats.
Matthews, a four-time stage winner at the world's biggest race in his seven previous appearances, is motivated to make that figure at least five after an excellent start to the season topped by his runner's-up spot at the Milan-San Remo 'Monument' classic.
