That’s bike racing.. that’s why you have a versatile team.. you have options..

MVDP was likely was not confident in his sprint against you with an E3 in his legs… for the team, Jasper was the slam dunk! 🤷🏽‍♂️

E3 after-effects shaped Van der Poel’s “defensive” ride: “I felt I wasn’t super” How much of an effect would the E3 Saxo Classic have on Mathieu van der Poel? It was one of the big questions before the start of In Flanders Fields. During the race, it looked as though nothing was wrong: the Dutchman from Alpecin-Premier Tech was once again the strongest on the climbs, yet afterwa...

A win in In Flanders Fields would put Van der Poel alongside a long-standing record With his victory in the E3 Saxo Classic, Mathieu van der Poel once again showed that he is the man to beat in the Flemish spring. The Dutchman is edging closer to a number of records, even if he is not preoccupied with them himself. In L'Equipe, Johan Museeuw and Fabian Cancellara reflected on Van...

Voices from the E3 peloton after finishing just 24 seconds behind Mathieu van der Poel After the E3 Saxo Classic, most of the attention quite naturally went to winner Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Premier Tech) and the quartet that spent the finale trying to bring him back, but never managed to get him on his knees. It was easy to forget, however, that the sizeable peloton behind them...

This is a drawn cartoon about procycling with spectator Dr. Freakinstyle who witnesses and comments on procycling. This particular cartoon is about Milano Sanremo where Silvan Dillier again took a very long shift in front of the peloton making the pace, for about 200km. In the cartoon we see Silvan Dillier cycling on the left leaving drops of sweat with his tongue out while he leaves a long line of flowers. In de background we see grass and trees along the road. On the right Dr. Freakinstyle points to Silvan Dillier and explains; ‘A sacrificing domestique is like a flowering plant trying to generate offspring that will, hopefully, be more lucky after its death and in this case to help a more suitable teammate to win the race after his ‘death’. In the middle bottom we see a groundhog coming out of its whole saying; ‘200km at Sanremo and again again again…

And just like that, Per Strand Hagenes suddenly finishes second behind Van der Poel in the E3: “You know the games are going to start” Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Premier Tech) only just held on in the E3 Saxo Classic, though that was helped by the suddenly faltering cooperation in the chasing group behind him. Per Strand Hagenes was part of that move and eventually sprinted to second place. Afterwards, the Norwegian rider from V...

In the end, however, winner Mathieu van der Poel did what only Van der Poel seems capable of doing and blew the race apart on the Boigneberg. Teammate Edward Planckaert had...

A meme with a person happily reaching out towards a ball. The person is labelled 'chasing group' and the ball is labelled 'MvdP'. The second panel zooms out to show that the man is held by a larger person/thing labelled 'group 2 syndrome'.
