Canberra's Michael Matthews has taken out three major honours at the Cycling Australia Awards ceremony in Melbourne.

Tour de France green jersey winner Michael Matthews has capped his stunning season with three major honours at the Cycling Australia awards in Melbourne.

Matthews claimed the Sir Hubert 'Oppy' Opperman Medal and Trophy for the Australian cyclist of the year, men's road cyclist of the year and the people's choice award.

The triple crown win on Friday comes after securing the green jersey as the winner of the sprint points competition at this year's Tour de France with Team Sunweb.

"It is a huge honour in Australia to win the Oppy. It is something I have been dreaming about since I became a cyclist," Matthews said from his Monaco home.

"It is an unreal feeling (to win all three), I didn't think it would happen so soon, but it is a reminder for me that it was a big year for me and Australian cycling.

"It means a lot that I can be among other excellent Australian cyclists who have won this award."

The 27-year-old Canberran became the third Australian to win the green jersey after scoring two stage wins at this year's Tour.
