The Dutchman of Alpecin\u2011Deceuninck has seen stretches where he vanished from radar. But in his favourite training region on the Costa Blanca, MVDP is almost daily in view. In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DRXfHjAjAmB\/?utm_source=ig_embed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">a recent video<\/a> from his regular training partner <a href=\"https:\/\/www.idlprocycling.com\/freddy-ovett\" title=\"freddy ovett\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Freddy Ovett<\/a>, Van der Poel once again plays the leading role.That Van der Poel has been at it for a while is obvious. Towards the end of October he jumped on the bike, we saw him running and swimming, and his camp even set up a like-campaign via Ovett to get Van der Poel to take part in a triathlon. On Saturday evening, 400 likes were still missing, but by Sunday morning<a href=\"https:\/\/www.idlprocycling.com\/cycling\/thank-you-freddy-will-we-finally-be-able-to-follow-mathieu-van-der-poels-strava-content-again\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"> the 100,000 mark<\/a> had been reached!<\/p>\n<p>Continue reading below the video<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-xs leading-6 text-lightGray\">Deze Instagrampost heeft 100.000 likes nodig om Van der Poel te laten meedoen aan een triatlon!<\/p>\n<p>Van der Poel front-and-centre in sunny Ovett video<\/p>\n<p>After we saw Van der Poel\u2019s girlfriend Roxanne Bertels on the bike and saw Van der Poel enjoy good food and fine weather on his training sessions, we also caught a glimpse of him taking some risks on the go-kart track. A fun Saturday-evening video from Ovett made clear that these weeks in Spain for Van der Poel are primarily about heavy training.<\/p>\n<p>In the sunny video by Ovett it was once again evident. The gas pedal was firmly pressed on the beautiful roads of east-Spain, though during stops there was still time for a photo-moment \u2014 including with an Alpecin-Deceuninck world champion. Van der Poel\u2019s tanned legs are clearly primed and ready for his entrance to cross-country (cyclocross), which is expected sometime in December.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mathieu van der Poel updates are keeping us going this winter!
