“There are a lot of possibilities …”

The winner of Milan-san row and Paris-Roubaix This year declares: “Of course, there are a few opportunities. But of course, there are a lot of different runners here, with different goals. This first week will be hectic, but I think it's a good start with a lot of opportunities for our team. We consider each step individually. We never know what will happen in the previous stages. But I think there are several exciting steps. The green jersey is not a goal at the moment.he explains.

“Montmartre? We will see what's going on …”

He continues: “The last step brings more stress. A big peloton will go to Montmartre. At the Olympic Games, the group was really small. We will see what will happen. I don't think it's bad for us, but I understand why other runners are not very favorable to this change. If Jonas Vingegaard asked me for advice to beat Tadej Pogacar? That they are fighting on a field which is completely different from mine.concludes Mathieu van der Poel.
