Teams & Riders The "MVP" Mathieu Van der Poel Road Discussion Thread

[tobydawq]

so, no more races this season. A bit of a shame. No gravel WC in his home country, no Italian autumn classics, no Paris-Tours to add to his collection of big classics. No European Championship. And the organizers of the newly organized Tour of the Netherlands probably had hoped him to race it.

Can we still speak of a great season for MvdP?? Of course he won CX world championship, Milaan - San Remo, Paris - Roubaix. But after that it was not that great anymore. Although his Tour de France was very very entertaining, in the end he won only 1 stage. And probably missed his only real chance to win the Green Jersey in his carreer. Lost the GC in Benelux Tour. And had an off day at the Worlds MTB. And he will ride no autumn classics.

Can we still speak of a great season for MvdP?? What does the forum thinks?

Do we think if he had a great season when he won two monuments and podiumed a third one? Lol.

For any normal guy it would have been a great year, but by MvdP standards an average one.
