Mathieu van der Poel er kongen af cykelcross.

Det demonstrerede den 28-årige hollænder tirsdag for tredje gang i løbet af denne jul, hvor der er blevet konkurreret i Belgien.

Ligesom i Mol 22. december og i Antwerpen dagen efter satte den femdobbelte verdensmester i disciplinen tirsdag alle rivaler på plads i Gravere med en suveræn præstation.

Her blev der kørt og i mange tilfælde løbet op ad bakkerne på syv omgange i mudderet foran et entusiastisk belgisk publikum.

Nummer to blev ligesom i Mol og Antwerpen Mathieu van der Poels evige rival, belgiske Wout van Aert, der kæmpede sig over stregen 36 sekunder efter sejrsherren.

Ræset i Gravere var en del af cykelcrossens World Cup, men her spiller hverken Mathieu van der Poel eller Wout van Aert nogen rolle på trods af deres topresultater.

På grund af multitalenternes engagement på landevejen deltager de nemlig ikke i tilstrækkelig mange afdelinger af World Cup til at blande sig helt i toppen.

Den 26-årige belgier Eli Iserbyt fører i stedet og har kurs mod sin anden samlede World Cup-sejr. Næste afdeling køres i hollandske Hulst 30. december.
