CyclingThursday, 29 August 2024 at 16:21
A moment not soon to be forgotten for Mathieu van der Poel. The Dutchman was riding the time trial in the Renewi Tour on Thursday, lost control in a corner, and seemed about to crash hard. But in nothing short of a miraculous way, he managed to stay upright. A guardian angel on his shoulder, or killer reflexes? Watch the footage below. Well done, Mathieu!
Van der Poel ended up performing quite well in the time trial. He finished 36 seconds behind, keeping himself in the upper ranks of the standings, which he will certainly want to shake up during the challenging final stage on Sunday.

- Jos van Emden is right to speak out. The UCI’s lack of transparency and inconsistent decision-making have eroded trust among teams, riders, and fans alike. When even experienced professionals like Van Emden lose faith, it’s a clear signal that the system needs serious reform. Integrity and fairness should be at the core of any governing body, something the UCI needs to be reminded of.ahmed06-05-2025

- Such negative comments that are truly inappropriate and actually ridiculous. He sounds like an old man, bitter that he can't race anymore. Why can't he just be gracious? Or just shut up. Instead of howling for attention, in such a rude manner. Must be Dementia creeping in. We are all living in the Now. Records are there, and some are being broken, some are unapproachable. If he doesn't like it, and it makes him sick, maybe he ought start watching some other sport. Don't want the old mans health to be upset.
