VIDEO | Mathieu van der Poel spat on during solo E3 Saxo Classic attack
CyclingSaturday, 29 March 2025 at 09:50
Mathieu van der Poel has won the E3 Saxo Classic this Friday. The Alpecin-Deceuninck rider soared to a solo win of epic proportions after battling Mads Pedersen and Filippo Ganna in the bergs, but nevertheless TV broadcast captured a controversial moment where he was spat on.
It is not the first time this happens to the Dutchman, who infamously has been victim of such absurd action mostly during cyclocross events, and today the same happened after his attack in the Belgian classic. This can be seen in the video below:

- 19 and 20 will be tougher for Del Toro to recover if he gets dropped again.mobk29-05-2025
- "I’m still in the game" What game??? It is not even visible unless a commentator biased towards british riders mentions him. He is not in GC Top 10. He is not in stage top3 either. So he is neither here nor there. Even the helpers of UAE are better than him. he seriously needs to reconsider GC dreamsabstractengineer29-05-2025
- That is just talk for the sake of talking. The real problem is NOBODY yet knows Del Toto’s place in the hierarchy so everyone is just guessing if and when things might change, and usually in hindsight, predictions further than one day ahead being pretty pointless seeing as even for the next stage most get it wrong most of the time.Mistermaumau29-05-2025
- Del Toro cut off Carapaz a few times on that descent and dived the corners...not a great look!frieders329-05-2025
- That's certainly not true. Caruso (in 4th) is three minutes back and Storer (10th) is nearly eight. No one outside the top three has even a remote chance of winning (or, very likely, being anywhere near the final podium.)verve82529-05-2025
- Given the last week's inclinations - he's riding really well.. it's all to play for and they all know that to, any of the top 10 can win this

- You were wondering how come MVDP is rated higher by whoever and the way JM refers to a website. Obviously they’re all somehow ranking which means attributing a score to performance. As I said, no idea how but one reason he may be ranked higher is if more than just wins are counted. Like at the Olympics, some rank by gold, some prefer considering all medals, usually in order for a preferred country/athlete to look better. At some moment, in order to rank more than wins, every ranking or algorithm has to attribute points or value to different positions in order to tally and compare.Mistermaumau28-05-2025
