Mathieu van der Poel says he is ‘100% ready for Paris-Roubaix’ after helping Jasper Philipsen at Scheldeprijs
Mathieu van der Poel says he is “100% ready” for Paris-Roubaix after playing leadout duties at Scheldeprijs on Wednesday. Van der Poel did some of the early leadout work for Alpecin-Deceuninck team-mate Jasper Philipsen, who beat Team DSM’s Sam Welsford and Mark Cavendish (Astana Qazaqstan Team) in a bunch sprint. Ad The Dutchman has a career-best finish of third at Paris-Roubaix where he lost out to Sonny Colbrelli in one of the modern great Monument races.
