Van der Poel and Worst delighted with European titles of cyclo-cross Now

Mathieu van der Poel and Annemarie Worst were delighted with their European title Sunday by men and women in Rosmalen, respectively.

"It's fine, is not it, if you see how many people were on the course …" Van der Poel expressed his astonishment at the camera of the NOS .

"It was not just a nice weekend for me, but also for the whole of the Netherlands, because I think we have most of the country medals."

Van der Poel s is revealed supreme in the autotron of the city of Brabant. He had a lead of no less than fourteen seconds over number two and reigning world champion, Wout van Aert.

Van der Poel was still a little hard-working, but after narrowing the gap to Van Aert, he was halfway through it.

"I got stronger"

"In fact, I had a good start, but after the first corner, I had a little problem." When I found a new contact with Van Aert, I noticed that he started making mistakes and was tired. "

" In the straight line, I saw my luck and I left, I did not think so, it was a piece where I could. I can not only turn and turn. "

Van der Poel was unfortunately disappointed on Thursday with a 21st place finish at Koppenbergcross, but he showed three days later that it was an incident.

" in the Koppenberg cross race, I have a little gerus t. After that, I did not ride a bike for two days. I'm glad it happened there, instead of here. "

" I knew I could do it "

Worst apparently had a lot more resistance and in the finals she won only her compatriots Marianne Vos (second after two seconds) and Denise Betsema ( third on four seconds)

"Everything had to be fine, but I knew I could do it," Worst also told NOS for not doubting for a moment

"I thought I will just rise. I made the difference by turning and turning. I can not do that in long straights. "

Sausages became world champion in the past, and she was already the best of the cast, at Superprestige earlier this year

" Could not do much more than try to save what could be saved "

Vos, European Champion of 2005 and 2009, made a moderate impression at the start of the race and failed to regroup the others.

"I could not do much more than try to save what could be saved, and in the first round I felt I had problems and could not tell the difference." [19659008] "We tried to get the best out of each other, but then you have to make sure you do not compete with you."
