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

[Oldman]

Thanks; that's a lot more racing than I was expecting.

That's alot of winning, now. Tadej might be paying attention to this level of form from his best cobble buddy.

I don't think he cares. If he's good enough he'll ein and if he isn't he won't. Regardless of what MvdP does

I think it’s the other way around. If MVDP is good enough, Pogi doesn’t win, if MVDP isn’t he will. At least that was the case last year.

The last time that was true in RVV was 2022. Anything else is just copium.

RVV 2025, unless you think MVDP showed he was at a similar level as WVA and Pedersen during spring classics of course.

Pogi won 2025

It's more like there are 3 monuments that only those 2 can win, and it depends on the other

And since you've mentioned RVV, Pogacar won because he was the best. MvdP was clearly a 2nd best but lost a sprint, it happens. In 2022 Pogacar was at least 2nd strongest and finished 4th
