Matthews ready for Tour de France debut

Just under 12-months ago Michael Matthews' Tour de France dreams were cruelled by a training ride accident that saw the Orica-GreenEdge rider attend the team presentation in Leeds covered in bandages forcing him to forfeit his place for Christian Meier. The 24-year-old has that memory firmly in mind as he puts the finishing touches on his preparation for the 102nd edition of the race that starts Saturday in Utrecht with a 13.8km time trial.
