Candid Mathieu van der Poel: ‘I have the impression that many young riders have no life next to the bike’

Mathieu van der Poel has already finished his cycling season on the road. The Dutch top cyclist was a guest at the DPG Media building in Antwerp on Monday and spoke with our Belgian colleagues from Het Laatste Nieuws, including about his vacation in America, the coming (Cross) season and the victories of Tadej Pogacar at the World Cup and European Championship. “What we are experiencing now has to feel like in the time Merckx was heading.”
