My all-time favorite cyclist! ❤ Thanks for the career retrospective 👍🏽

He’s like a prime Sagan, only better, and even more entertaining. That second stage in ‘21 tdf was legendary, winning the bonus seconds twice on the circuit and still enough in the tank to win the stage and get into yellow for his late grandpa. It was magical.

@hansdickhof9410 11 ай бұрын

Sagan, three times WC. Several times green jersey at TdF. And his classic sieges. Okay!

@S0ulinth3machin3 11 ай бұрын

MvdP isn't a better roadie than Sagan was, but he's a better overall bike racer. Sagan was #1 in points (road) for a number of years. It's easy to forget that now that he's pretty much invisible.

@riquelmeone 11 ай бұрын

pointless comparison. Sagan was Sagan and van der Poel is van der Poel, both legends of the sport

@livehealthy9858 10 ай бұрын

sagan is a sprinter while mvdp is sort of all arounder. IMO mvdp is more exciting to watch, sagan is fun to watch. different in their own way. but mvdp for me is more dominant and explosive because he usually attack uphill and drop GC riders.

And in between all that he won over a 100 cyclo cross races, is unbeaten in mountainbike short track races and was probably the best mountainbiker of 2019. Unfortunately he didn't ride the MTB World Championship that year because it conflicted with the mentioned Road World Championship in Harrogate. He has also had some streaks where f.e. he would win his first cyclo cross race of the season, then switch to the road and win his first race, then switch to mountainbike and win the first race, back to the road to win the first race again, to finish it off with cyclo cross and winning the first race.

Yes. Would love to see a video showing more of his Triple threat action. His mtb races are fantastic to watch and his CX duels with Wout and Tom are always epic!

The double Mur de Bretagne TdF win is something I'll never forget. The commentators didn't know what was going on, only after the first time up they realized VdP needed the bonus seconds of the first climb for a potential yellow, but only if he won the stage, going up again. Which he did. Crazy stuff.

@hernanhernandez3861 10 ай бұрын

His watt spikes after super long races are absolutely incredible. Popping off monsters Wout van Aert and Mads Petersen in Worlds was jaw dropping. He has to be careful with his back issues so that he can continue entertaining us....

wow great summary of his career so far 👍 In theory he can be 3 times World Champion in 3 disciplines in one single year if he wins the MTB race this Saturday but this is a long shot because he didn't do much training on a mountain bike this year.

@GRB-tj6uj 11 ай бұрын

Luckily the MTB championship is before the road WC next year, so if he wins the CX again he can still hold all three jerseys at the same time if he doesn't win on saturday

One correction; he is not the first rider who managed to become world champion in both CX and Road during the same year. However, he is the first male rider to do that. We have seen it before with Marianne Vos.

Or Pauline Ferrand Prevot who was the holder of the CX, MTB and RR world title in 2014/15.

@@davidcanal4692 Yeah she did all 3. Vos only did 2, just like MVDP currently holds. That's why I mentioned Vos instead of Prevot.

You cannot see this seperately from cyclocross, esp if people like WVA etc also come from there. Riding cyclocross at young age seems great for development, as both MVDP and WVA and others are suddenly very strong all round

I think they deliberately disturbed the sleep of Mathieu van der Poel in 2022 in Wollongong. So Michael Matthews would make a chance to win the road race. These children who kept him awake were put on to it.

in an honest opinion we can put today's era (post 1980's onwards) tour riding equal to lab rat engineering. But if we are talking about an overall race. Just a race. Mano-o-mano; MVDP is king.
