Mathieu van der Poel responded for the first time to the fuss after his arrest in Australia this afternoon at Zaventem airport. The Alpecin-Fenix rider experienced a real rollercoaster in Australia. In an initial response, Van der Poel says that he should have approached it differently and that he is trying to put the facts behind him. “I would have imagined Australia differently,” he said in front of the VTM camera. “I admit I’m wrong, but I had no intention of hurting those girls.”
