Mathieu van der Poel will not be making a surprise return to mountain biking this weekend after all, despite being uneviled as a competitor for the Nové Město round of the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup.
On Tuesday, the UCI Mountain Bike World Series social media accounts announced the multi-discipline star as having "entered to race in Nové Město on Sunday". A follow-up post compared his stats with those of Tom Pidcock, billing the XC race as a "clash of the road titans".
