Mathieu van der Poel is once again world champion. That’s a sentence that we’ve got used to now, after his six cyclo-cross titles (and one one the road). But his dominant ride at the weekend showed once again how he is the best in the world when it comes to completing laps in mud.
His sixth cyclo-cross rainbow jersey does leave an open question, however. Will the Alpecin-Deceuninck rider now focus solely on the road?
