Milan-San Remo means everything to Michael Matthews. The Australian racer has vividly visualised and dreamed about crossing the line first on the Via Roma. “More times than I could say,” he tells Cyclingnews.
He has come so close to doing that in reality, too. Matthews has finished second, third twice and fourth in the year’s first Monument one-day race. With six finishes altogether in the top ten, no other rider in the WorldTour peloton has more.
