I'm sure I've read somewhere that Nys will be riding for Trek next year? So will this be his bike...

Looks like he has practiced that quite a bit.
Liking the look of that Trek, if they put some of the Domane tech in to a cross bike it should be great.0 -
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.0

I just saw that. Phenomenal debut. It's been clear for some time that he's a genuine talent, but to get that result in a strong field is astounding.0

Great! Cheers for that!

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 balancefrenchfighter wrote:FJS wrote: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.

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).
