I have no idea where its from. I have never watched a cross race in my life. And it is better to have a photo/gif without a caption then no photo/gif at all.
18 year old Mathieu van der Poel finished 2nd today in his very first cross with the senior pros, just 5 seconds behind winner Niels Albert.
Wow. Found out today he is Pouildor's grand son!!!
Considering both his dad and grandad were known for finishing 2nd (not completely fairly, they won plenty), a nice hommage this 2nd place debut. You can't help but feel he'll be piling up the wins soon enough though. Will be interesting to see what decisions he'll make on the cross/road balance

Sorry to say that his Grand Mother was named Poulidor.
His dad was a "Dutch" winner. :roll:
Adri Van der Poel is the son-in-law of the famous French cyclist Raymond Poulidor. His sons David and Mathieu are also cyclists. Mathieu Van der Poel became cyclo-cross world champion himself in the junior race in 2012 (Koksijde) and again in 2013 (Louisville).

Liking the look of that Trek, if they put some of the Domane tech in to a cross bike it should be great.
