VIDEOS | Mathieu van der Poel's wheelie up Passo Fedaia drives fans crazy
CyclingSunday, 29 May 2022 at 14:50
Mathieu van der Poel is under the spotlight wherever he goes, however even when there are not TV cameras around, the fans go delirious with the superstar's presence - which was the case during yesterday's stage 20.
And it was on the Passo Fedaia that the celebrations were the highest amongst the fans, together with fellow countrymen Pascal Eenkhoorn and Bauke Mollema, the Alpecin-Fenix rider had cameras and people running beside him for most of the final ascent; as seen in the videos below.
The Dutchman arrived at the finish 19:29 minutes after Alessandro Covi to the finish line, and is set to complete his first Grand Tour after an ever-active and aggressive performance.

- go Luke! bummed to see him leave Quick-Step, but all the best to his future.mij05-11-2025

- can cause weight gain. I guess my question is why you question this? it is much more common than not to gain weight after injury. and your blowhard worthy comments of UAE not being forthcoming is a joke. of course they are not going to be forthcoming, of course the team will try to cover all of this up in real-time, and it is almost certain that he gained weight with this injury. I’m happy to share reasons why if you wish, but don’t need to extend this response. and considering it is a watts/kg game, a small change in KG makes a difference. 0.1kg on a TdF style climb is about 5s if a rider averages 400 watts. 1 kg is 35 seconds. since Tadej is injured he might lose a little on the watts. so nothing is unbelievable in this article. what is unbelievable is your doubt and wondering where the scans are, where the transparency is. it isn’t required.mij05-11-2025
- Have to put Tadej on a penny-farthing bike. Then I think we could be confident he loses :-)mobk05-11-2025
- Exactly, a lot of people mix up all kinds of different law and systems and jurisdictions and levels of proof. The basis of doping litigation in cycling is that you abide by the rules you adhered to which have no direct relation to public law.Mistermaumau04-11-2025
- During the 2021 Tour I remember thinking Jonas could win a Tour, he was climbing really well that year. I never predicted he would but I knew he had the physical side of it mastered.awp04-11-2025
- Ironically Tim Wellens at the time claimed they were having a great time and he couldn’t understand Tadej’s comment to the press about wanting it to be over. Was some of it just a bluff and was he in on it or did Tadej fool him also? We might never know but most likely there was more than one issue.Mistermaumau04-11-2025
- mij, CAN cause weight gain. I’ve also had my fair share of inflammations, sometimes there is sometimes there isn’t, as is the case for swelling. Tendinitis in the shoulder which is so excruciating and extreme an inflammation you cannot sleep for weeks sometimes for there is no position relieving pain shows no swelling or weight gain. Flying will swell your lower limbs and feet visibly but without inflammation and, unless you have the budget to compensate, usually a decrease in weight due to dehydration from increased evaporation in dry air. No retention just displacement. I would have thought the many seasons of House would have taught most people not to be so formal about medical diagnosis before collating as much information as possible. Perhaps you can go criticise more usefully by contacting all these doctors who take forever (or fail) to land on the correct diagnose of pro cyclist when they have long issues as so many seem to.Mistermaumau04-11-2025
- I’m sure they will give some guy on a web forum named mistermaumau a full disclosure. maybe they didn’t want to say anything during the tour and then have opponents attacking if he wasn’t ready. there is nothing fishy about this story, the only thing strange is how you always think you know more than everyone else and are some kind of expert.mij04-11-2025
- Yeah, thanks, I’ve been injured too. Let’s go back and recap. UAE and Pog were not at all forthcoming with info, Wellens has given contradictory stories at different times (and we are now in low season any old story will do mode). Obviously a swollen knee will contain a negligible amount of extra weight, happy? However, as all of you should know any rider is inflammed after any serious effort (and let’s not argue none made efforts every day during this years’ Tour) from the muscle breakdown that has to be repaired every day and so is already retaining plenty of water all over (way more than around a knee not looking like Elephant man). Now, easy task, Tadej was on the podium practically every day so just go check all those pics to see where he suddenly looks like he gained weight. Sorry Tim but unless you were specifically looking at Tadej’s body every evening I’m thinking you just started paying more attention after he told you we have a problem. Easy to hear inflammation and then imagine yeah he looks heavier. Can it not be he was ALSO actually tired or exhausted (enough to cancel Vuelta even though his knee didn’t actually have a serious injury)? Can you take someone’s statement of the scans showed inflammations or something as useful for evaluating a whole situation? And, despite the narrative now being sold as he was taking it unusually easy after, huh, sorry the next day when most commentators were asking how the knee would hold (but nobody noticed any weight gain), he won Hautacam! Then the day after, another win. Sorry, unless I get full disclosure from the man himself, I’m not buying more from this story than yes he was spirited to carry on and perform, there was obviously nothing seriously wrong with the knee, in fact, it may even have healed faster because he continued, I’m sure plenty of you riders and runners have experienced that, staying in motion helps relieve certain sprains and pains.Mistermaumau04-11-2025
