With his new team, Matthew Goss wants to return to his best level. Interviewed by Cyclingnews, the One Pro Cycling rider has explained that he is really motivated to win. His time at MTN was unsuccessful but he has decided not to dwell on the past.

"It’s super important, next year, and I know that. I want to be winning bike races. The hunger is still there and the last thing that I want to be is just a number in the peloton. I’ve got no desire for that. The hunger for me comes from wanting to win bike races and this is too hard a job to just pedal around, wear a number and take a hiding. I don’t want that."

The 2011 Milan-San Remo winner added: "It was a bit of a change, going from a team like Orica where there was me and Matthews as sprinters. At MTN there was myself, Ciolek, Boasson Hagen and Farrar all trying to help out each other for the win. The first part of the year I was really trying to gain the confidence of my teammates.

"That worked to some degree but at times you need to put your hand up in bike races, especially when you think that you can do really well. I took a bit of a back seat and tried to help others win in the first part of the season but it was a big change to move teams. There were some unlucky crashes at bad times but I’m not going to dwell on that. That’s bike racing. I just want to get back to winning ways. It’s been a couple of years since I won a bike race. Every year in my career, up until a couple of years ago, I’ve won a bike race. It sucks to not win so I want to get back to that."
