Mathieu van der Poel fits Tuesday for the qualification of the short track. The Dutchman will first focus on recovering from the road race, after which he will rejoin the national selection on Thursday.
"Van der Poel will calmly recover from yesterday's race in the coming days. He does this with his family. He then prepares at his own pace for Saturday's race," the KNWU said in a press release.

Incidentally, there is still a chance that Van der Poel will ride the short track on Thursday. If the weather turns bad on Tuesday, qualifying may be postponed or cancelled. This has already happened with the BMX program.
"If no qualification takes place, there is a possibility that he will participate in the short track," said the KNWU. "This will then be decided at a later time."
