Matthew Harley Goss will join the new team, One Pro Cycling, in 2016. The Australian rider will try to repay the faith that this team has placed on him and find the way of win. He was interviewed by CyclingTips and told about the next season.
"I think we will get a lot of good races and I’m confident the races will be not too dissimilar to years in the past. Okay, we’re not going to have a Tour de France, or probably a Grand Tour, you’re not going to have every WorldTour race that’s on every weekend, but as long as I can find those certain races throughout the season that suit me then that’s all I need for motivation", the former Milan-San Remo winner said.
Goss added that he would like to win some races in 2016. "I don’t win 10-15 races [a year], I never have. I like to go through the season, pick out five, six, seven good races that suit me, really target them and then try and help the team in other events. That was the big thing from 2012-2015 is that I tried to go from winning those five really good races a year to trying to win every race I went to. We tried to make myself more of a pure sprinter and, you know, I look back and that wasn’t what I was ever good at before. I need to go back to doing what I was doing, which was helping out a percentage of the time and then really targeting the races I like and focusing hard on them."
"The last two years haven’t been perfect so they wanted to chat about that and I wanted to see where they wanted to go with the team. The chat was about what they want me to do in the team, what they see me doing and then vice versa. (...) I’ve finished the season a little bit later than usual so I’ll probably have a shorter break and then really focus on the early part of the season and try to show and give the guys some confidence."
