Mathieu van der Poel, one of the big favorites for the gold in the World Cup road race today, has given up after 30 kilometers. The leader of the Dutch team had a bizarre run-up to the 266 kilometer long race in Wollongong, Australia. He spent a night at the police station after an incident at the hotel with noisy children. Van der Poel confirmed the incident before the start against the Belgian channel Sporza. “I didn’t go to bed until four o’clock.”
