Unfortunately Team Jayco AlUla leader Michael Matthews suffered a crash whilst out training today, Thursday 5th March, and was transferred to hospital.
Team medical staff have confirmed that CT-scan results show fractures to both of his wrists, subsequently ruling him out of all upcoming races.
The 35-year-old enjoyed a dream start to the 2026 season with a victory in his first race, Gran Premio Castellón. He was set to line-up on Sunday at his first major WorldTour test of the season, the gruelling eight-day Paris-Nice.
Matthews is now in direct contact with team medical staff and will have extensive support to aid a swift recovery.
Get well soon, ‘Bling’.
