Having completed 90km on Monday, straight after a quiet Amstel Gold Race performance, van der Poel has taken another step towards the upcoming monument with a 149km ride, tackled in 4 hours and 39 minutes and alongside his regular training companion, Freddy Ovett, there was also a group of familiar faces and a variety of World Tour shirts.
Alongside Mathieu van der Poel's Alpecin-Deceuninck Rainbow Jersey, the jerseys of Olav Kooij and Team Visma | Lease a Bike, Nils Eekhoff and Team dsm-firmenich PostNL, Daan Hoole and Lidl-Trek, Elmar Reinders and Team Jayco AlUla, plus the traditional Alpecin-Deceuninck jersey through Ramon Sinkeldam as seen on Strava.

- The pressure of being considered a team leader has to get in the way of his development to a degree. He seems to be good physically but maybe there is a mental thing. I don't know, give him some time to grow a bit.awp20-03-2025

I suspect it has something to do with their extremely heavy advert loading needs for which your set-up might not be tuned and so fails often which might block the exchange of data and then your login credentials aren’t remembered. Might also have to do with cookie or privacy settings not being as tolerant as their data gathering demands? Check how up to date your configuration is first.Mistermaumau20-03-2025
