Mathieu van der Poel cuts short Renewi Tour due to worrying knee pain

World Champion Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck) pulled out of the Renewi Tour before Sunday’s final stage, concerned about a knee pain and the impact it could have on the rest of his 2024 season. 

Van der Poel hit his knee on his handlebars during the time trial on stage 2. He was able to continue the race until Friday but the pain did not subside.
