Yep, Matt's one of the elder statesmen of the sport, he's been around for ages. I didn't think he was still racing.

I know he joined the Police! Not sure if he still is?

Old for a Pro cyclist, although he's semi pro.

Lance Armstrong will be 40 this year and he retired once, and he's just retired again
