Less than half an hour after Michael Albasini won the fourth stage of Paris-Nice, Matt Goss won a wet field sprint on stage two of Tirreno-Adriatico. It is the first win for the Australian since his stage victory at the Giro d'Italia last May and the ninth victory for ORICA-GreenEDGE of the 2013 season.
"This is the first road stage I've done in Europe this year," said Goss. "To come away with the win is great. It's huge for my motivation and confidence, and it's hopefully great for the team as well. With the win also in Paris-Nice today, we're brf kf t mvl ou v qndj qg bvb mobbpg.
