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

[Boes]

The solution should have been obvious

Van der Poel should have slept in his original room while teammate Jan Maas slept in the same room as MvdPs girlfriend

If I was Jan Maas, I would have suggested is thus.
Only makes sence.

Maybe Van der Poel is an overprotective boyfriend and wouldn’t be able to sleep either if his girlfriend was in a room with another man.

 

[Skalman]

If he hit a 14 year old girl he is a disgusting person and should be sentenced appropriately.
You cant defend that with , !yes but they where knocking on his door" or yes , "but they where probably drunk and provoked him"
That doesn't fly just because you are his fan.
IF it happened there are no excuses, period.

That site cannot the The times. The language is too weird and naive.

What can I say

When we get taken by the rising sea levels, we probably deserve it.

KNWU must have been super unprepared, even the Australian boss of SRAM managed to book a house on the finish line. There are plenty of luxury homes available in the area on Airbnb.

They booked at Brighton-le-Sands, a cashed up bogan suburb a fair hike from the start, let alone the finish

Brighton-Le-Sands to Helensburgh

wtf kinds of 13 year olds is knocking on an international world champions hotel room door in the night. I would be too shy to talk to VDP before the start of a race when I was 13

What would you do if Masnada was next door I wonder

I doubt they knew who he was or that he was a cyclist. Just random idiocy for funs.

 

[DaLong]

MvdP needs to get himself a Gabriele Uboldi. Personal bodyguard (that plays PlayStation every night in the hotel, manages all tickets, etc) a la Sagan.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

You know that it would be a very exciting situation for me !

But the least thing I would do is bother him in the night. Fasuto has enough things holding him back already

They would have had zero idea who he was apart from being an angry man with a funny accent

 

[jmdirt]

Thanks Would you have slept through disturbances? Or just bring ear plugs?

No, I would have yelled at the kids (I didn't have people to do that for me). I spent several stormy nights in the back of my PU/ in a tent at ski resorts, and eventually you just fall asleep...until the next crash of thunder.

 

[noob]

I doubt it's that random. If it was they could've disturbed more guests on the same floor.

I guess there's witnesses. Especially as he himself must have woken up a couple of people if he had a rage fit

Arrestatie Mathieu van der Poel niet enige bizarre incident KNWU op WK

Analyse Hoe heeft het zo ver kunnen komen dat de Nederlandse WK-favoriet in de nacht voor de titelstrijd in een politiecel heeft moeten doorbrengen? Het verhaal klinkt zo ongeloofwaardig dat zelfs zijn ploegmaten dachten dat Mathieu van der Poel een grap maakte toen hij hen vlak voor de start...

I would recommend throwing this article in some sort of translator. This is freaking gold.

I hope that it was just the translation, but that was really poorly written.

What if they are in town to watch the race? then they certainly would know who he was.

Likely yes. It’s Australia and they might have been Rugby League groupies

At least it's poorly written for free!

 

[42x16ss]

This was in a hotel 50kms north of the start line, so over 80kms north of Wollongong. They weren't going to the race.

 

[dazaau]

Wrong town, and also, it's hard to imagine but the cycling world championship in Sydney is totally irrelevant to the vast majority of Australians.

Now if this had happened to a footballer - man it would be all over the news, 24/7, forever.

 

[hfer07]

Losing your chance to become a World Champion because of two spoiled brats that Australian GOV took side on & deemed worth protecting, even if they were the cause of the incident ......

I feel your pain MvP
