Monster attack Mathieu van der Poel promises fireworks for Flanders and Roubaix | Cycling

sport">AMSTERDAM – It started with drama, but Mathieu van der Poel – who else – ensured a sensational end to the BinckBank Tour with a monstrous attack. A group had already left when Van der Poel could no longer hold it, and with seventy kilometers to go he made the crossing. Twenty kilometers further on the Muur van Geraardsbergen to start an ‘impossible’ solo. “That was not the plan,” he said afterwards, exhausted from his ultra-heavy effort that gave him the stage and overall victory.
