VIDEO. Son worthy of his father: 29 years ago-won father Van der Poel on the almost identical way in the Amstel: it's amazing what Mathieu is doing
Championships Mathieu van der Poel has the Amstel Gold Race, won after an incredible remonte in the final kilometer. The world champion in cyclo-cross follows this Erik Dekker in 2001, the last Dutch winner. Van der Poel also occurs in the footsteps of his father. Who did it in 1990, almost the same way.

For the videos just yet the reaction of father Van der Poel. Who looked at the unlikely denouement of a television screen, on the team bus. “The broadcast ran two minutes behind”, he chuckled. “’Mathieu wins!’, they came to me suddenly say. ‘Yeah, yeah, " I replied. "Let me now but just watch’.” Two minutes later saw pa Van der Poel, the miracle of his son made. “What a freak!”, he cried spontaneously. “As he himself said: if he is a finish line in sight, it grows beyond itself. Fantastic, anyway. This is something unique, I realize. All credit goes primarily to the ‘Mat’. But also to everyone that with the meticulous preparation for his very first classic spring on the road has been busy. This is the success of a team.”

29 years ago, was Van der Poel, senior also the strongest, after a compelling final kilometer. Our fellow countryman, Luc Roosen seemed when on the way to the victory, but with a huge kattensprong from the peloton took Adrie van der Poel in extremis anyway. View the images below, feel free to itself.
