Van der Poel ends season in style with unveiling brand new ‘MVDP’ Lamborghini worth 250,000 euros
CyclingSaturday, 20 September 2025 at 07:35
Mathieu van der Poel concluded his season less than a week ago with a disappointing performance at the World Championship in mountain biking, but he will quickly switch gears. The cyclo-cross season is just around the corner! Before the Alpecin-Deceuninck rider starts thinking about that, it was time for something else. As an ambassador, he got to unveil a wonderful gift!
It's no secret that Van der Poel is an ambassador for Lamborghini. He can often be spotted in the Italian supercar manufacturer's cars: last winter, for example, he was racing through the snow in Italy, where several cars were waiting for him. And in Hoogerheide, he arrived at last year's cyclo-cross race in a special ‘MVDP’ Lambo, with his initials on the license plate.
So the world cyclo-cross champion does like fast cars. But in addition to a partnership with Lamborghini, he also has a deal with FLYINGGROUP, a Belgian private aviation company. They take care of his travel by jet when necessary, such as to Besançon last December. Now, extraordinary circumstances brought the two companies together, allowing Van der Poel to enjoy a magnificent gift.
Read on below the video!
Van der Poel receives a 250,000 euros Lambo as a gift
Van der Poel's impressive season was honored at Antwerp Airport, in the FLYINGGROUP hangar, as can be seen on Instagram. The Dutchman, together with his girlfriend, Roxanne Bertels, was welcomed into the hangar, where a brand-new Lamborghini Urus SE was waiting for him—a wonderful gift, which he was allowed to unveil. For enthusiasts: it is a car worth over 250,000 euros, with no less than 800 hp...
This car also had his initials on the license plates. After the disappointment of the World Championships, it is a well-deserved reward for his season. Because let's be honest, no one else managed to finish in 29th place. Six victories, including Paris-Roubaix and Milan-Sanremo, along with a stage win in the Tour de France: it was another phenomenal year for the 30-year-old superstar. When he will return to the field to perform at his best is still unknown.

- Plus its confirmed that the Philadelphia Cycling Classic up the Manayunk Wall is back for 2026! hooray for thatryhw2814fq918-09-2025
- This is a dumb question but still why doesn't the UCI consider a grand tour in the USA in the future. We have the desolate/scary back roads in Pennsylvania and Virginia, just like in France with loads of rural land and hills. Plus the Rocky Mountains in Colorado and the Cascade/Olympic Mountains in Washington State. I'm sure it'll never happen but honestly people in PA/NJ/NY/VT/NH would love it. We are already sports fans, what is another sport to learn. I am forever optimistic about cycling in the US.ryhw2814fq918-09-2025
- Zonneveld makes some excellent points.The sponsorship model is broken and companies like Verizon who have multi billion dollar with a B ad budgets need to be involved again.
Brucegel17-09-2025 - Roger Vlaeminck says Mads is not a good rider? Where is the headline saying you don't even have to be a good rider to win the World Road Championship says Roger Vlaeminck, who never won it!!? Perhaps his aging mind needs to think about what the heck he's saying.packfiller7103-09-2025
- Wow, there is so much criticism of the UAE XRG riders. Why so much criticism is being leveled solely at the riders is baffling. The UAE XRG management deserves a good amount of the criticism aimed at the team, as a whole. They have not managed the talent they have at all. They failed miserably to properly handle young Isaac del Toro on that penultimate day of the Giro. And they have not handled Juan Ayuso well either. If they didn't have Tadej Pogacar in their roster, we might not be talking about them as winners, at all. So many think that Ayuso has shown that he is not a "team" player at all. Does anybody think that he might be thinking about his own future at this point? That he might want to feel like the team has his back, when they load the pressure onto him? And Joao is not a team leader. That burden might be laid on him by the management, but they need to properly support that assignment, not make it a contentious situation, within the team. And then how management has conducted themselves throughout this parting of ways between themselves and Ayuso has been totally indiscreet. And yet people want to pile onto Ayuso when he tells the truth about the manner that this is all soap opera is developing. He wants out. He shouldn't be getting so much negative criticism for that. It's a situation that has soured. Yes he has a contract, but he is not the first, nor will he be the last that wants to get out of a relationship that just isn't working anymore. And DeCauwer seems to have very vague reasons for criticizing Almeida. He does realize that Jonas is the second best Grand Tour rider of this current generation, so it should be no shame that Joao is behind him in the standings. Riders are giving their all in an extremely difficult sport that stretches them, often beyond their limits. Now many are wanting to send them to Behavioral School as well? The criticism ought to mellow out, or it ought to simply be ignored, as nothing more than blah, blah, blah, not worth the headlines it gets

- All they learned is that at the end of a 3 week race, Wout can beat him on a slightly bumpy stage. Obviously, this is very much thanks to Wout not racing for GC every day. This doesn't teach them a thing for Jonas beating Pogi. Not saying Jonas will never beat him again. But this absolutely won't have anything to do with it if he does beat him.Veganpotter28-07-2025

- Maybe I was a bit disrespectful to Heiden. What he did was unique and exceptional but he wasn't the only one who combined those distances, nowadays it is just not possible and nobody competes in both distances. The same is true for cycling with for example the combination of Roubaix and de Tour de France. In Merckx era there were more riders who managed a top10 in both races than currently.Joostmehrtens19-06-2025
