"Of course I will try to win" - Van der Poel out to regain Dutch national jersey
CyclingSaturday, 24 June 2023 at 12:30
On Sunday the 25th of June, Mathieu van der Poel will once again be at the start line of the Dutch National Championships. A former two-time winner of the national road race, the 28-year-old wants to reclaim the red white and blue jersey.
Helping the Alpecin-Deceuninck star will be his brother David van der Poel, Ramon Sinkeldam and Oscar Riesebeek giving him a strong support team. And after he DNF'd at last year's race, Mathieu van der Poel has some unfinished business, some wrongs to right.
“The Dutch Championship is a difficult race to win,” says Van der Poel. “There are teams that have a lot of riders at the start. It is then very difficult to race against them on your own. But we will try and see what Sunday brings us."
"Of course, I will try to win," he concludes. "But I don't think that's a secret."

- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
