Paris 2024 Olympic Games: road race or mountain bike, why Mathieu Van der Poel has not yet chosen. The Dutch world champion will decide after the Classics season which event he will compete in during the Olympic Games this summer.

“Maybe five years as a runner, then the others as an ambassador,” he slipped during the official announcement this Monday, two days after helping his teammate Jasper Philipsen to win Milan – San Remo of which he was the title holder. The 29-year-old has extended his contract with Alpecin-Deceuninck until 2028.
