Career Overview

Mathieu van der Poel is a Dutch cycling legend who has excelled across multiple disciplines—from one-day classics to cyclocross to road racing. His dominance in single-day events is unmatched in the modern era, particularly his extraordinary record at Milan-San Remo, which he has won four consecutive times from 2023-2026. His 2023 World Championships victory and Paris-Roubaix triumph solidified his status as perhaps the greatest classics rider of his generation. Van der Poel brings explosive power, tactical brilliance, and an unparalleled ability to perform on any terrain.

Beyond road racing, van der Poel remains a cyclocross legend with three World Championships titles in that discipline. This combination of success across different formats makes him one of cycling's most complete athletes. His Alpecin-Deceuninck team provides the support to focus on his passion for one-day racing and classics, where he continues to set records and redefine what's possible in professional cycling.
