The organizer of the world Cup of Novel Mesto made this week a publication on social networks where he encouraged rumors about the possible participation of Mathieu van der Poel next May 23-25 in the one considered the XCO Cathedral. A long -awaited return since the last time the Dutch competed there, in 2021.
As we said, In 2021 Mathieu van der Poel competed in this circuit for the last timeand did it in an exciting duel with the British Tom Pidcock. During the Short Track, Van der Poel showed his power to impose himself in a frantic Pidcock.
In the Xco test, Pidcock was determined to start writing its history in the MTB and took the victory ahead of Van der Poel after a powerful attack from the middle of the race. That would be the first elite victory for Pidcock in the XCO World Cup.
But maybe The best exhibition of Van der Poel in Novel Mesto was in the 2019 race XCOthere was imposed on one of the best versions of Nino Schurter, with a fulminating attack of more than 1 minute that went directly to the history of this sport. It is fair with that video with which the organization wanted to remember
As we advance in the previous one, regardless of the confirmation of Mathieu van der Poel, what seems safe is that the novel mesto will be the appointment chosen for the premiere of great stars of the modality, such as the world champions current Alana Hatherly and Puck Pietrse.
