Mathieu van der Poel's winter campaign has drawn to a close after winning a sixth cyclocross world title in Tabor on Sunday, and now the Dutchman is turning his attention to the 2024 road season, where he may not start until mid-March.
Van der Poel is taking a week's skiing holiday after the dominant defence of his rainbow jersey – his 161st elite 'cross victory – and may only be back in action to defend his Milan-San Remo title on March 16.
