Bianchi T-Cube = Fast Finisher

Michael Matthews has easily wrapped up his second stage win aboard his Bianchi T-Cube in the Tour of Langkawi. The stage from Pekan to Mersing was 145km long and although a number of  breakaway attempts it came down to a bunch kick where the Jayco-Skins' 'stylin maestro' won with apparent ease, again beating the likes of Alex Candelario (Kelly Benefit Strategies) and ISD-Neri's Ukranian powerhouse Dmytro Grabovskyy, who finished second and third respectively. Asia's leading sprint light Anuar Manan added another top five performance to his tally, finishing fourth in front of former ProTour rider René Hasselbacher (Corratec-Vorarlberg)

"The guys were awesome today" Mathews said in the post stage conference - "during the first 70km when all the breaks were going they were working really hard, getting me bottles and making sure I wasn't doing anything then they got me up to that prime sprint," he explained.

"In the last 20km they were on the front driving it to spread the bunch out so I could have a good sprint at the finish. I was feeling pretty fresh at the end so I had a good sprint and it paid off for the boys."
