The Hoogerheide Cyclocross World Championship left us a new battle between Mathieu Van der Poel and Wout Van Aert for the rainbow jersey on the mud that finally went to the Dutchman, who added his fifth world title in front of his audience.
As a result of Van der Poel’s victory and taking advantage of the fact that both the Dutchman and Van Aert passed through the Sporza set after the racethe Belgian chain took the opportunity to recover an iconic image that can be considered the origin of this beautiful and vibrant rivalry that both maintain: a photo of Van der Poel and Van Aert after the 2012 Junior Cyclocross World Championship in Koksijdein which Van der Poel beat Van Aert, just like on this occasion.
Despite the existing rivalry between the two in both races Van der Poel and Van Aert made it clear that there is a good relationship between them with another iconic photo after passing the finish line in which both cyclists greet each other in a sporty way after a beautiful duel that magnifies one of the great rivalries of cycling and the world of sports.
