Van der Poel arrested in Oz


OVERDRIVE

Recommended Posts

What a disaster!!!  I so much feel for him.  Had a pretty meh year after the Giro.  Last year it was the Tokyo disappointment, and this the Worlds.

Will he or his great rival WvA ever win the Worlds?  Time is running out....

I am glad that the journalist wasn't being dramatic or anything

Alleged….

he denies any shoving.

security footage will clear things up but with charges laid it’s going to go to court so he’ll have to stick around till it’s done so that could be 2months

 

It seems that some of the footage is doing the rounds already.

As expected, the parents are siding with their children.

Given the description of events, not entirely unreasonable. Pretty sure the kids have also been given a proper rollicking at home. 
Imho this is one of those crpy moments where nobody wins.

Sure he was 38 but AvV was 39. Amazing, age is but a number. U23 is a waste of time, should introduce U30 esp for ladies to give others a chance. 😁
