Michael Matthews has beaten the seemingly invincible Tadej Pogacar to grab an emotional triumph in the prestigious Grand Prix de Quebec one-day race, a victory he dedicated to his late grandmother.
The evergreen Australian star sprinted to the 42nd win of his career in the 201.6km WorldTour race in Quebec City on Friday, just a couple of days after watching his grandmother's funeral back in his home town of Canberra via video link in Canada.
"This gave me extra motivation and makes this victory so special," said the 33-year-old, who became the first man to win the race three times.
