Mathieu van der Poel had spent a large period of time away from competition after abandoning the Tour de France, but has returned to the peloton at Druivenkoers - Overijse yesterday with his eye on the World championships.
The
Alpecin-Deceuninck rider has taken to the Belgian race with a favourite status, however his current form didn't see him fight for the victory. Instead the Belgian team rode for Jasper Philipsen who won the bunch sprint, however for fourth place as three riders managed to evade the peloton with Matis Louvel taking the win.
