The Leeds Cyclist 24 years old and world cyclocross champion in 2022won alone after taking down his main rivals at the end of the sixth lap.
Thus, he surpassed the New Zealander by 19 seconds samuel gaze, who had won gold in the short test of the ‘super world’ in Glasgow; and in 34 about the Swiss Nino Schurter, ten times world champion and defending champion and this time he had to settle for bronze.
Van der Poel, fall and abandonment
One of the great attractions of the test was to see if Mathieu Van der Poel was capable of his third world title in the same year, after winning the road and cyclo cross. But Dutchman suffered a crash on the first lap of the circuit and had to abandon the test.
