Mathieu van der Poel comforts crying John Degenkolb after crash in Roubaix: ‘Sorry, man’

Mathieu van der Poel won Paris-Roubaix in an unapproachable way, but after the finish on the velodrome, the 28-year-old Dutchman also had an eye for his colleagues. Images show how Van der Poel, together with teammate Jasper Philipsen, second in the Hel van het Noorden, comforts a crying former winner John Degenkolb. “Sorry, man,” says Van der Poel.
