Van der Poel's cyclo-cross win streak reaches 33
World♎ champion dominates in Koksijde's sand to keep his streak stretching back to last November

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Mathieu van der Poel (168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Correndopn-Circus) has amassed a remarkable 33 consecutive wins on the international cyclo-cross circuit, dating back tꦇ🌼o the Jaarmarktcross on November 10, 2018.
The two-time and reigning UCI Cyclo-cross World Champion added his 33rd consecutive victory Sunday by dominating the fifth round of th🔯e World Cup in Koks♔ijde, w𝐆here he started in row three in 24th position and was in the lead by the end of the first lap desp๊ite being held up behind an early crash. He finished the race 25 seconds ahead of runner-up Laurens Sweeck and 35 seconds ahead of third-placed Toon Aerts.
The reigning European champion's most recent win follows last weekend's victory in round 4 of the World Cup in Tabor, Czech Republic, a win the following day at DVV Verzekeringen trofee Flandriencross, and victory 🐠at Ambiancecross 🧸on Saturday.
Van der Poel's last loss dates back to the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:2018 Koppenbergcross on the hilly Belgian course that tackles the famed cobbled climb used in the road Classi🌄cs. Van der Poel suffered there in 2016 but won the race in 2017. The 2018 race was another bad day for the Dutchman, however, as he lost contact with the leaders on the second lap and was never a factor at the front again, eventually finishing 21st.
Van der Poꦜel skipped Koppenbergcross this year and didn't start his 'cross season until two days later at Ruddervoorde, where he began his 2019-20 run with a w🔯in ahead of Sweeck and Aerts.
The 25🍌-year-old Correndon-Circus rider turne༺d his attention to the road in a more concerted manner this year, making a big splash with wins in the Classics at Amstel Gold, Brabanste-Pihl, Dwars Door Vlaanderen, Circuit Cycliste Sarthe and Grand Prix de Denain. He also took a stage win at the Arctic Race of Norway, plus three stages and the overall win at the Tour of Britain.
Van der Poel went into the UCI Road World Championship🌺s as a favourite for the road race, but he faltered on the difficult Yorkshire course and finished 34th.
