VIDEO: Mathieu van der Poel goes down during mass crash at Tour of Flanders
CyclingSunday, 06 April 2025 at 13:33
The Tour of Flanders grew incredibly tense before the Eikenberg and we have seen two crashes. The first involved Jhonatan Narváez, but quickly after about a dozen riders went down including Mathieu van der Poel himself.
This happened with 126 kilometers and at high speed. Quite a lot of riders went down in a big fall and Mathieu van der Poel was involved alongside several Alpecin-Deceuninck teammates and UAE Team Emirates - XRG riders. The Dutchman didn't seem injured, but took a few seconds to get back up and racing towards the peloton.
C'est une erreur d'un EF Education-Easy Post qui a provoqué cette chute, où Mathieu van der Poel s'est retrouvé à terre. Le Néerlandais a mis plusieurs minutes pour revenir sur le peloton. Tim Wellens (UAE Emirates) a aussi gouté le bitume. #RVV25 pic.twitter.com/K7HNpzPXbw

- As Contador did, lets see who wins on the road at least Del Torro doesn't have to deal with Armstrong and Bruyneel doing everything to stop him winningslappers6623-05-2025
- Visma have screwed up immeasurably, tactically on this, Vuelta 24 remember that debacle! Tel Toro is the strongest. During a notable Giro Mikel Landa was the strongest but who kept getting backed, Fabio Aru, he never won that Giro - a team SHOULD always ride for the strongest rider!
leedorney23-05-2025 - Very true, the strongest should and will win, in the moment - I know what I would do...leedorney23-05-2025
- Lets not forget it's a 3 week race and Del Toro doesn't have a track record of doing these long GTs. All it takes it one bad moment on a climb to blow up.frieders323-05-2025
- I like this young man, if he is feeling good he should go for it on the next mountain stage.awp23-05-2025
- Team politics are terrible, I suspect that the team management knows who the strongest is on UAE in this Giro, Juan Ayuso is a great young athlete but he wobbles all the time. I figure UAE will go with who feels better. If del Toro feels good the team will probably back him. To hear Isaac say he stopped riding to wait for Ayuso because it was the right thing to do, made me upset. I know we are only fans but we want to see the strongest win.awp23-05-2025
- Froome was, in my book, the greatest Grand Tour rider ever. Better than Armstrong, better than Induarain. It all ends in a second for these guys. I remember that whenever people complain about Pogacar, and I am grateful.
Barney23-05-2025 - Tom retired instead of signing another contract. Visma offered him a contract renewal, he decided to retire which shocked everyone because he is such a strong cyclist.awp23-05-2025

- The more statements that came out from his mouth, the more I'm impressed with how he carries himself.

This video is weird, the more you look at it the more it seems as if riders vanished. At one point it looks like about 20 riders are going down and the next moment it’s only a dozen or so on the road even though the number of bikes also seems more.
