New off-season trend among CXers - Mathieu van der Poel bleaches his hair!

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.
