Mathieu van der Poel did not suffer from a bruised, but a broken rib last week. However, that did not stop him on his return to Maasmechelen from ‘just’ riding the competition in a pile again. Reigning world champion Van der Poel therefore seems to be completely ready for next week’s World Cup, although large rival Wout van Aert helped him with two falls in the saddle.
