Mathieu Van Der Poel Sidelined With Rib Injury
Cyclo-cross star Mathieu van der Poel has withdrawn from Wednesday's X20 Cyclocross Trophy in Baal due to a rib injury, just a month before he aims for his seventh world title. The Dutch rider's Alpecin-Deceuninck team reported that the 29-year-old has been experiencing "significant pain in his ribs" following a crash into a pole during the cyclo-cross event in Loenhout last Friday.
