Matthews said he couldn’t wait to race on his new bike. “I’m so excited to race on my brand new Falco V bike. It’s one of the fastest time trial bikes on the market and it will be a huge advantage for me.”
Matthews will be joining a number of strong professionals in Falco’s stable of athletes for 2015, including Ultra-Cycling 12hr and 24hr World Champion Chris Hopkinson, 2-time US Duathlon National Champion Matthew Russell, 2015 South Africa 70.3 winner Matty Trautman, among others.
