Let’s have a short retrospective on the biggest moments in cycling of 2021.
### Mathieu van der Poel in yellow
It was Mathieu van der Poels first Tour de France. The king of cross and rising
star in road cycling did want to win a stage and get into the yellow jersey in
remembrance of his grandfather Poupou who back in his days became second at the
tour several times but never wore the yellow jersey. Mathieu managed to
accomplish that goal on the second stage and managed to keep the yellow jers
So you might know Wout van Aert by now. He just won three stages of the Tour de France. And it’s still strange for me to see him riding so superb on the road. I “know” Wout van Aert from Cyclocross
In the end of 2017 I started to commute 50 kilometers a day. I found out that my old Canyon Inflite Cyclocross bike was not perfect for that job. I wanted to have no race bar, I didn't like to have a front deraillieur and the weight of about 9,5 kg was also a little too high.
