Mathieu van der Poel on winning attack at GP Sven Nys: "Van Aert immediately set a strong pace. I took over, after which I immediately had a nice gap"

Mathieu van der Poel was too strong for the rest of the competition today in Baal for the GP Sven Nys, however Wout van Aert did put on a fight. The Alpecin-Deceuninck rider however had the endurance to maintain a strong pace throughout a tough hour of muddy racing to take the victory.
“It had been a long time since I had suffered here, but it is a nice cross, which suits me well. This is still the most fun as a cyclocross rider, especially here. It is very technical with those deep ruts. It is extremely difficult. I always find that the most honest and fun thing," van der Poel said in a post-race interview.
It was in the mud exactly that he created the winning gap, but judging by the almost two-minute gap that was built throughout the rest of the race, it is difficult to argue that the Belgian rider would have a response to when van der Poel would attack.
“Van Aert immediately set a strong pace. I took over, after which I immediately had a nice gap. I don't know if he made a mistake. After that I rode fairly flawlessly. It was a nice day. Especially in such mud races, there is little point in trying to take advantage of the wheel," he tells. Eight victories out of eight, van der Poel remains undefeated and continuing to give all the signs necessary towards the World Championships.

- “During a TT, I am basically blind”. That was his quote after crashing into the barriers in a TT. The problem isn’t the UCI, radios or air bags. The problem is the riders and their teams.JoeyB22-12-2024
- 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
