Mathieu van der Poel will return to racing on Saturday, testing his Tour de France form and his gravel skills at the Dwars door het Hegeland one-day race in Belgium, which features 41 kilometres of off-road riding.
The Alpecin-Deceuninck rider was last seen in race action when he won Paris-Roubaix in mid-April. He then took a break and has been training at altitude for the Tour de France and subsequent World Championships.
