Mathieu van der Poel first on Siena’s Piazza del Campo
Another great victory
As a sponsor of the Alpecin-FENIX team, with our Italian Design soul, we’re proud of Mathieu van der Poel’s victory of the 15th edition of Strade Bianche.
Mathieu completed the 184km race from Siena to Siena in 4h40’29”, with an average speed 39.361km/h.
Here’s What Mathieu van der Poel had to say after his incredible performance.
“I first attacked on an uphill part of the final gravel sector, after wich Alaphilippe and also Bernal joined me. Then it became clear that we were headed for that last small climb with the three of us.”
“It’s a unique venue and one of the races I really wanted to win one day. It’s incredible to have done it today!”
Tim Merlier sprints to victory in Grand Prix Samyn
Solid team performance today at Grand Prix Samyn.
Tim Merlier after his amazing sprint victory.
With guys like De Bondt, Philipsen and van der Poel we had a really strong team for Le Samyn. In the bus we told each other this would be our day.
We rode really well together, and I’m so glad that I managed to finish off the excellent work of the team.
I’m really happy with this win.
