"Mathieu van der Poel's Potential Farewell: A Sixth Cyclocross Triumph"

Mathieu van der Poel won his sixth cyclocross world title in Tabor but hinted that it could be his last, as his focus increasingly shifts to road racing. Despite being one title away from the record, he feels there's not much left for him to gain in cyclocross. The decision to skip future cyclocross seasons would impact his team and reduce interest in the discipline, but he emphasized that it's not a decision he can make alone. Van der Poel's future in cyclocross remains uncertain as he prepares for the 2024 road racing season.
