Mathieu van der Poel has described himself as 100 percent ready for Paris-Roubaix after a solid ride at the Scheldeprijs, which ended with the ideal outcome for Alpecin-Deceuninck when Jasper Philipsen took the victory.
With more than half an eye on Paris-Roubaix, Van der Poel opted to work in the earlier phases of the sprint leadout, rather than take any risks, but he still came away more than satisfied with his form.
