Halfway through the cyclocross in Gavere, Mathieu van der Poel already has the day’s victory within reach. However, that does not mean that nothing more will happen in the World Cup round. Unfortunately, Van der Poel had to deal with boos from some supporters and Wout van Aert bumped into a fan.
It was in a difficult descent that Van der Poel was booed. The world champion did not seem to care about it, or to gain extra strength from it himself, because the world champion subsequently expanded his lead considerably. Despite another incident. In a sloping strip, Van der Poel overtook a straggler, who was not paying attention and suddenly cut off the leader’s line. The Dutchman pushed his colleague aside to continue his way.
In the same descent where there were boos for Van der Poel, Van Aert also had a problem. He collided with a post on the inside bend and also came into contact with a supporter. Fortunately, the Belgian was able to continue his journey quickly.
