Michael Matthews’ bike: What is the Aussie fast man racing in 2023?

Michael Matthews' bike: What is the Aussie fast man racing in 2023?

Michael Matthews, or ‘Bling’ to his friends, toes the line between a pure sprinter and a classics specialist. He’s been a serial stage winner at the highest level for years now, and has racked up quite the palmares; nine Grand Tour stage wins, including four at the Tour de France and a Green Jersey there too. Combine that with a silver medal from the 2015 World Championships and bronze at the 2022 edition and you get the picture of a well-rounded rider who’s bound to be in the mix of any race that isn’t mountainous. 

Matthews currently rides for Team Jayco-AlUla, effectively the BikeExchange-Jayco team of 2022 but with new sponsors. As per the latter half of the 2022 season, the team will be using the new Giant Propel Advanced SL, updated last year to be more of an all-around race bike compared to the all-out aero previous generation.

We’re going to take a look at his bike for the upcoming season, as well as looking back at some of his memorable bikes from seasons past.
