Can Van der Poel Become World Champion on a Climbing Course?
Mathieu van der Poel expresses uncertainty about winning the world championship in Canada due to the steep climbing profile, though his recent form in Luxembourg suggests strong fitness. Dutch coach Koos Moerenhout and former winner Robert Gesink acknowledge the difficulty of the Mont Royal climb but note that Van der Poel’s current condition could be decisive. With Tadej Pogacar absent, the field is open, and while the course favors climbers, past successes by non-climbers like Peter Sagan offer hope for the Dutch favorite.
