Well he raced the Herald Sun Tour and did alright in the main climbing stage. Nobody really seems to know why Matt was dumped from Lotto.

Supposedly he was in talks with some teams and it seemed like from what he said that he was about to sign with that team but nothing official yet.

He's been racing the local crits in Melbourne as well - or, more accurately, sitting in on the local crits.
 
He had a couple of bad training crashes, I think one was in Melb late last year, this ruined his season and he struggled after that eventually losing his spot on the team.

Great to see him working his way back, hopefully gets another shot.

Regards


Hugh
