VIDEO: Mathieu van der Poel does crazy numbers climbing the mythical Coll de Rates

Having ended his cyclocross season with another World Championship title and after a short break away skiing in Austria, Mathieu van der Poel is now fully focusing on his return to road racing.

As part of his preparation, the Alpecin-Deceuninck star recently visited the mythical climb of the Coll de Rates alongside Ukrainian Youtuber Artem Shcherbyna. It's fair to say that if the numbers shown by van der Poel are anything to go by, the Dutchman could be in for much more success throughout the upcoming season.
