Cyclist Michael Matthews, recovering from a serious illness, may return to the 2026 Tour Down Under despite uncertain plans.
Australian cyclist Michael Matthews, recovering from a life-threatening pulmonary embolism in June that sidelined him for two months, is considering a surprise return to the 2026 Tour Down Under in Adelaide.
Training in Spain, the 35-year-old says his recovery is progressing well, calling it a "breath of fresh air," and is weighing a last-minute trip to Australia despite plans to stay in Europe for early-season prep.
He recently re-signed with Jayco AlUla for two years, a move significant after the team’s financial struggles.
While his participation in the January race is uncertain, Matthews remains focused on major 2026 goals: winning Milan-Sanremo, competing in the Tour de France, and defending his world road championship title in Canada.
