🎥 Mathieu van der Poel takes centre stage again in new Costa Blanca video – Triathlon almost On

Mathieu van der Poel updates are keeping us going this winter! The Dutchman of Alpecin‑Deceuninck has seen stretches where he vanished from radar. But in his favourite training region on the Costa Blanca, MVDP is almost daily in view. In a recent video from his regular training partner Freddy Ovett, Van der Poel once again plays the leading role.

That Van der Poel has been at it for a while is obvious. Towards the end of October he jumped on the bike, we saw him running and swimming, and his camp even set up a like-campaign via Ovett to get Van der Poel to take part in a triathlon. At the time of writing on Saturday evening there were still more than 400 likes to go reaching 100,000.

After we saw Van der Poel’s girlfriend Roxanne Bertels on the bike and saw Van der Poel enjoy good food and fine weather on his training sessions, we also caught a glimpse of him taking some risks on the go-kart track. A fun Saturday-evening video from Ovett made clear that these weeks in Spain for Van der Poel are primarily about heavy training.

In the sunny video by Ovett it was once again evident. The gas pedal was firmly pressed on the beautiful roads of east-Spain, though during stops there was still time for a photo-moment — including with an Alpecin-Deceuninck world champion. Van der Poel’s tanned legs are clearly primed and ready for his entrance to cross-country (cyclocross), which is expected sometime in December.
