Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck) is hoping a reduced schedule will see him win again at the Tour de France later this year. The Dutchman wore the yellow jersey for six stages at the 2021 Tour after claiming the second stage, but he failed to add to his haul in 2022 after arriving overcooked following an explosive Giro d’Italia debut.
Sixty-two years after his grandfather Raymond Poulidor won Milano-San Remo, Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck) put in a pulverising performance to win the first Monument of the season on the via Roma in style. The Dutchman attacked from a leading quartet near the top of the Poggio to open up a small but decisive gap over Slovenia’s Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates), Belgium’s Wout van Aert (Jumbo-Visma) and Italy’s Filippo Ganna (Ineos Grenadiers).
Mathieu van der Poel has been fined AU$1500 for confronting two teenage girls on Saturday night prior to the men’s elite road race at the Cycling Road World Championships in Wollongong. The Alpecin–Deceuninck rider was set to appear in court on Tuesday but has been allowed to fly home to catch his flight and his passport is back in his hands after it was confiscated. Ad Van der Poel allegedly pushed one of the girls against a wall and another to the floor, injuring her arm as the teenagers were repeatedly knocking on his door which prevented him from sleeping.
Mathieu van der Poel retired from the UCI Road World Championships elite men’s road race following an overnight arrest after reportedly being disturbed by a group of teenagers outside his hotel room. The Dutch favourite began the race on Sunday morning, but abandoned his pursuit of victory after about 25 kilometers of racing. Ad Van der Poel's preparations for the biggest single-day event on the cycling calendar were hugely disrupted by his overnight incident.
