VdP is looking lean and relaxed

“Mathieu van der Poel is living his best cycling life.

He is a favourite for Milan-San Remo but is not under intense pressure to win like Tadej Pogačar. He has already won six Monument Classics and will surely win even more this spring and in the years to come.

Life is good and the Alpecin-Deceuninck rider seems to have worked out how to balance the intensity of pro racing with life's little pleasures. Cycling and winning the biggest Classics have never been forced on him or burdened him, they are not a

personal obsession, they are naturally part of his life”

"My life is not perfect, for sure I have bad days as well. But I think I'm at an age now that I've accomplished almost every goal I've set for myself and even more," Van der Poel explains.  

"That brings me a lot of peace. Everything that comes now, it's a bonus. That makes it very relaxing to race."

"I still want to try and win the biggest races out there, another Monument, so I'm still very motivated. I'm well aware that I need to be at 110% to beat Pogačar. That's always good motivation."
