One of the favourites of Sunday’s elite men’s road race world championships in Wollongong, New South Wales, Australia, Mathieu van der Poel, abandoned after 34 kilometres. This comes after a torrid Saturday night.
According to various reports, van der Poel had problems with kids knocking on his accomodation door. After a confrontation with the kids, the police showed up and arrested the Dutch ace, who didn’t return to his room until 4:00 am.
One of the children sustained an injury on her arm while Van der Poel tried to confront them.
