Van der Poel has another victim! – Sports.fr

As a result of the events that precipitated the abandonment of Mathieu van der Poel, Sunday, during the world championships, Internet users attacked the hotel in which the Dutch delegation was staying. Mathieu van der Poel has returned to the Netherlands. But the controversy around the Dutch rider does not seem to be about to stop. If he was able to leave Australia after being fined 1,500 Australian dollars for having jostled two teenage girls who came knocking on his door in the evening from Saturday to Sunday, the grandson of Raymond Poulidor did not finish to have to explain his behavior. Witness the press release published by his training Alpecin-Deceuninck. “We have taken note of the events of the past 48 hours. It is clear that this story hurts everyone, which we can only regret, said the Dutch team in a press release published on Monday. We want to get a full view of the facts, in particular by consulting the file and speaking with Mathieu van der Poel and the people involved from Team NL. Needless to mention, everyone loses here, and we can only regret that.” And the leaders of Alpecin take care to add: “We would like to emphasize that respect for others, inside and outside the peloton, is and has always been a fundamental value of Alpecin-Deceuninck. That’s why we want to track this appropriately. Only then will the Alpecin-Deceuninck team and Mathieu van der Poel communicate about this again. Noisy, Children in the hallway at night Mathieu van der Poel can also count on the support of his supporters. A support which showed itself in a surprising way. Hundreds of Internet users have indeed published negative opinions to criticize the hotel of the Dutch delegation, the Novotel Brighton-Le-Sands, which saw its rating collapse. “Noisy”, “Children in the hallway at night”, “Unable to manage their business”, “They don’t like sports people”, “No respect for Vdp”, “I can’t sleep”, “Hotel haunted by ghosts knocking on doors”: these are some of the opinions left by Internet users. The situation was such that TripAdvisor was forced to intervene. “Due to a recent event exposed in the media that resulted in numerous submissions of reviews that did not describe a direct experience with this property, we have suspended the publication of new reviews on this page”, can we read on the page dedicated to the hotel.
