‘It didn’t go according to plan’ – Michael Matthews misses out on shot at Olympic medal

Australia’s Michael Matthews was not selected for the Tokyo Olympics but just representing his country in Paris was not enough. The 33-year-old wanted to be fighting for the medal but narrowly missed the group that went on to fight for bronze. behind Remco Evenepoel (Belgium) and Valentin Madouas (France).

Matthews finished a disappointed 15th at the end of the 273-kilometre route in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower.
