Michael Matthews may just be one of the most talented riders of this generation. Capable of winning Classics, Grand Tour sprints, hard hill stages, prologues and uphill finishes, the Asustralian is relishing his chance to lead Sunweb in 2017 following his move from Orica-Scott.

"Everything is organized, which is really nice. That's the way I like to live my life too, with everything organised," Matthews told Cyclingnews. "That's how I feel like you can get the best out of yourself, out of your team, out of that collective group of people is to be organised. The way the team is structured, their organisation over the years has built them up to where they are now. It's one of the best WorldTour teams in the world."

A big draw to the team for Matthews was that he badly wants to win Milan-Sanremo and has been on the podium when then Giant-Alpecin rider John Degenkolb won the race in 2015. He says his team know how to win that race.

"I'm really excited to race Milan-San Remo with a team that has won the race in the past. They know what it takes to win the race. Having these experienced guys around me, its going to make it a big advantage for me and the team to be able to contest the win."
