Mathieu van der Poel enjoys a golf session with Belgian pro Alan De Bondt on holidays in Dubai

After a particularly successful spring, Mathieu van der Poel is currently enjoying a well-deserved holiday in Dubai, where he can mainly be found on the golf course. Yesterday he played a game with professional Belgian golfer Alan De Bondt.
The 29-year-old Dutchman hopes to make a bid for an Olympic title in Paris in the summer, although it is still unclear whether that will happen on the mountain bike or road bike. There is also little to say about his run-up to the Games, but it would make sense to assume that the Alpecin-Deceuninck star rider will make an appearance at the Dutch National Championships in June.

- Why? He is past his "sell by "date. Just like Froome.

- Tom has a bit of an overblown image of himself. Contrast him to Pog- night and day.ScottG14-11-2024
- The other commenters are exactly right - different eras. It does help that bikes now have lower gears without sacrificing higher ones. Merckx rode up mountain passes with a 5 speed cluster- and I doubt he had anything less than a 42x24. See how exhausted you'd be going up Mont Ventoux with that, lol.ScottG14-11-2024
- Times have changed, Bart Wellens, and it's only natural and makes total sense that riders like Wout van Aert and Mathieu van der Poel's primary focus is on their road careers. It has absolutely nothing to do with doing a 'disservice' to the UCI.
santiagobenites14-11-2024 - Bad for us, good for them, indifferent for newcomers. When a bank offers you 50 to open an account is that good or bad? Good for you, bad for existing clients paying for it who received nothing when they joined, indifferent for future new clients who might get 100.Mistermaumau14-11-2024
- Why don’t you go copy-paste from a reliable scientific site instead of accepting the first info Google provides which is by no means scientific. Like I said before differently, EVERYTHING is poisonous if you replace the Oxygen you need with it. Breathing pure Oxygen will kill most of us in almost every situation (hospital deliver pure oxygen but dilute with air before inhalation so just enrich) fighter pilots and astronauts get pure oxygen because there is almost none in the atmosphere but as the pressure is far lower the concentration in the lungs remains similar to the N78/O21 known as air). nitrogen/oxygen instead of 80/20 (basically air) will likely kill you too. Nitrogen is completely neutral and unabsorbed yet you die from 100% so is it poisonous, no. It’s the wrong DOSE that is poisoning!Mistermaumau14-11-2024
- Well not really news after watching netflix doc . You did not need to be a rocket scientist to notice the body language and Pidcock giving the finger on the Alpe Huez stage . Thomas was non to pleased either as he lost a helper for the day. However fab win and will be interesting to see what happens over the off seasonpaultryan200214-11-2024
- Is it only me or new style/format of cyclinguptodate.com is really bad? Too small font in news titles and at the same time everything seems to be so streched that you need scroll and scroll...averagecyclist14-11-2024
