Wout Van Art vs Mathieu van der Poel : let's start. The eternal challenge between the two thoroughbred horses never goes out and from the road to the mud, it is always enriched with new chapters. The last was signed by the Belgian who beat his Dutch rival in the 2021-22 cyclocross World Cup round in Dendermonde .
A race lit up immediately by Van der Poel , who started in fourth as usual and took the lead at the end of the first lap together with Toon Aerts . Then Van Aert joined the leading duo and on the fifth lap he placed the winning attack, saying goodbye to the company. Van der Poel then gained the second position ahead of Aerts, while he disappointed another expected protagonist of the 2022 season, the British Tom Pidcock , eighth and far from the best.
A challenge that will be repeated again in the mud of cyclocross, but which is even more awaited at Fantacycling 2022 , with Van Aert and Van der Poel, but also Pidcock ready to become the spearheads of all fantamanagers in the world.
