New off-season trend among CXers - Mathieu van der Poel bleaches his hair!
OtherMonday, 28 October 2024 at 23:00
Bleaching hair has once again become the trend in the cycling peloton, it seems. After Thibau Nys, Mathieu van der Poel also seems to have dyed his hair.
Of course, Van der Poel has naturally light hair, but from the photo we see on the Strava account of his training buddy Freddy Ovett, the journalists from WielerNieuws assume that the Dutchman has bleached his (already light) hair to an even lighter shade.
That photo was taken during a running training of both gentlemen, because even in his off-season Van der Poel never sits still. A beautiful coast run of just over 10 kilometers under the Spanish sun.

"...rumours have it that the real reason behind bleaching your hair was slightly more insidious. Apparently, bleaching the hair affects its follicles to such a degree that detecting PEDs becomes impossible."

- Always depends on who lines up and how badly he’d want it. Imagine 3 years from now with LBL and and Olympic medal in his pocket, he could consider it his last challenge and neglect everything else to go specifically for that only with a team geared towards it. It would only take good execution and one or two missing favourites for it to happen. In cycling you usually don’t come away too well saying never to possibilities.Mistermaumau22-04-2025
- love tom. smart, interesting guy. and he’s dead right about mathieu, i think. if van der poel had gotten stuck on a team like ineos or visma or soudal, it would have radically shortened his career. fortunately he was smart enough to prioritize freedom with alpecin over the giant contract he could have gotten years earlier with a bigger team. remember that alpecin was just a continental team when mvdp keep signing contract extensions with them for short money. it’s certainly all worked out over time though. maximum freedom — probably the most in the entire peloton — and huge deals now with both alpecin and canyon. tom was such a GREAT talent i wish his career had played out the same way.OCexile22-04-2025
- I can understand arranging to have some neighbors killed to get their land. But I simply cannot abide doping and lying about it.
