It's not Fantacycling , but athletes like Mathieu Van der Poel , for better or for worse, always make arguments. For this reason we have published, on our YouTube channel, a video in which we analyze in detail the bad fall of the Dutch champion in the Olympic mountain bike test in Tokyo ; episode that broke his dream of winning a medal.

The debate is heated and revolves around a wooden platform, which during the reconnaissance would have been present in the course after the jump, while not in the race. Van der Poel , as he also stated on social media, says that he was not aware of the change and that he approached that point of the path with the conviction of finding the support of the platform, instead of the void. Precisely for this reason, the Dutchman would have lost control of the bike, falling ruinously.

A frontal video published online even after the release of our video seems to agree with the rider, but doubts remain. Lightness may be there, but how is it possible that a champion of his caliber has not prepared the best for the Olympic test by leaving out such an important detail? The answer is yours, with the open debate on the Fantacycling YouTube channel.
