Yeah, Matthews was isolated from about 20km out, and BMC were able to just slow the peloton which bought the break about 10 seconds, very good riding from them.
If Matthews had Gerrans like he will on Sunday he'd probably have won I reckon, bookies seem to agree too, he went from 16/1 at the start of the week to 8/1 now. Will be interesting to see if he can stay with the likes of Valverde, Purrito and Martin if they really push it though.
