Watch Mathieu van der Poel come within a millimetre of absolute disaster around a corner
The Dutchman was solo when he carved a corner like a madman
It’s always exciting to watch Dutchman Mathieu van der Poel race. He’s always aggressive, happy to attack repeatedely whether it’s the beginning or end of a race. His watts are out of this world, and his bike handling skills are simply astonishing.
Cycling fans have seen him so many times push boundares when it comes to his racing line through corners. He will dive bomb through the curves and come within an inch of the gutter.
MvdP is incredible no matter what kind of bike he rides. Whether it’s a TT bike:
Even on a TT bike, Mathieu van der Poel has absolutely bonkers skills
