Mathieu van der Poel may be ending his season very soon but his form is better than expected. He's won in the rainbow jersey for the first time this afternoon, at the Super 8 Classic.
The hilly race saw a strong group go up the road which resisted the comeback of the peloton in the final flat kilometers. Van der Poel was part of that offensive move alongside strong classics riders, he outsprinted Anthony Turgis and Florian Vermeersch in what was a strong win.
