Mathieu van der Poel will be beginning his latest quest for Olympic Gold this coming weekend, when on Saturday, August 3rd, the world champion takes to the roads of Paris for the men's elite road race.
Whilst the 2024 Paris Olympic Games are well underway, with a number of those with gold medal dreams already in the Olympic Village, Van der Poel is only now travelling to the French capital. As spotted in a post on the Dutchman's official Instagram account, the Alpecin-Deceuninck star is making the journey across the border in style!
With one of Van der Poel's sponsorships coming from the world renowned supercar manufacturer Lamborghini, the 29-year-old made perfect use of his relation to the Italian car powerhouse by taking to the roads to Paris in a stunningly slick Lamborghini, personalised number plate and all.
In terms of his chances in this Saturday's road race, according to the Dutch national coach at least, things are looking positive for Van der Poel. "As always, it is very short and sweet. He already sent a thumbs up and fortunately no thumbs down. He indicates that he feels good and is looking forward to the Olympic Games," Koos Moerenhout told Wielerflits.

- For an agent, the more transfers with higher salary there are the better earnings they have. A bonus for the transfer plus a percentage of the salary.abstractengineer24-11-2024

- When a guy like Madoff gets done do you spout off about all the others trying to fraud in a lesser style who didn’t really gain much from their efforts? It’s like taxes, if we’re going to pursue everyone equally we may as well never start. I’m fine that we start at the top, there’s plenty of work there. Once we’ve caught the big cheats then we can see how valuable it is going after smaller ones.Mistermaumau24-11-2024

- Yes, thank you Maria. He has a fractured skull but no pain or sequels and there should be no consequences after the small bump deflates. If anything, he is more likely to get something from the radiation he received when they “investigated” for abuse, CT scan, MRI, a dozen x-rays and he will have to have a follow up scan too. But as said, all due to childbirth, if we hadn’t noticed or worried and not taken him to emergencies, he’d have had no tests at all and instead of one to check the fracture wasn’t serious he got far more :-(Mistermaumau24-11-2024
- Obviously there is the question of enormous willpower but some injuries are extremely specific. A torn meniscus for example can function pretty well during cycling whilst making it close to impossible to go up or down stairs or walk normally.Mistermaumau24-11-2024
- First of all, I hope now all is ok with your baby!. Yeah, about to not accept foreign phone number is a big problem also for me. I have economic interests in 2 countries, I think that all can be ok with my Italian number... but NO! The world is globalized but not for bureaucracies.
