Orica-GreenEdge makes it debut at the GP Miguel Indurain Saturday with Michael Matthews leading the team's aspirations for a top result at the 1.1 Spanish race. Matthews will be making his first start since Milan-San Remo where a late crash ended any hopes of matching his third place from the 2015 edition of the race and the 25-year-old is keen to pin on a race number as he explained.
"I can't wait to get back racing with the team," said Matthews who won two stages and the points classification at Paris-Nice earlier this month. "It will be a hard race but the team is really motivated and I hope we can do well."
Adam Yates will also be handed a leadership role explained sports director for the race, David McPartland.

"This will be our first appearance at GP Miguel Indurain and we are going in with the aim of being successful," said McPartland. "Our protected riders will be Michael (Matthews) and Adam (Yates) which gives us options for the different ways which the race may play out."
"We know we will have some strong competition from Movistar in their home race and other teams will be bringing strong line ups too. We have a motivated squad with a good balance, hopefully we can be up there in the finale."
