Mathieu van der Poel, compared to Cristiano Ronaldo, demonstrates a transition from style to pure performance. He excels in the Tour de France, delivering powerful, confident rides. His impressive victory on Stage 2 showcased his capability, as he sprinted decisively ahead of the competition. During Stage 4, he showcased similar strength by narrowly missing out against Tadej Pogačar yet managing to retain the yellow jersey. His consistent choice of reliable, functional equipment complements his performance.
Mathieu van der Poel has never favoured style over substance. But the crazy long-range attacks are gone. When he's in form and has targeted a race, the current leader of this year's Tour de France is lethal, with the power and confidence to deliver, almost every time.
He pushed a bigger gear than Tadej Pogačar and smoked the best riders in the world. He then followed up that performance with another exceptional ride... doing enough to pip Vingegaard to the line and retain the yellow jersey.
