It usually ends in anti climax Matthews

Precisely what I've been thinking. If Matthews wins this I'm going to be quite angry.
The man has never made a move in his life, he's Gerrans v2.0
Yeah. He is even worse than Gerrans in terms of wheelsucking. I've never seen him taking a pull.

I've never seen Gerrans take a pull either, to be honest.

That's not a jab, it's a fact. I've seen him win stages from breaks where he doesn't take a pull.
He would quite literally be the defending world champion if he had taken a single pull last year instead off freewheeling and gesturing 'come on, move around' whenever he found himself on the front of the final attack.

@Nibali
I don't think he'll feature too much in the finale, either. Also, he seems to be working for Viviani and Trentin right now.

Edit: Quoted wrong person.

I fear this race will be like Geelong--lots of attacks only to be won by a Norwegian who has been invisible until the final 50 meters.

Matthews learned from the master.
