The clues are following one another and all point in the same direction: Mathieu Van der Poel is increasingly seriously considering triathlon. A few days ago we talked about the bet with his friend and training partner Freddy Ovett, now we discover that the Dutch champion has returned to Strava after three years of absence, but not with cycling training data, but with a running session.

Van der Poel posted data from a 10-kilometer run completed in 33'52" with a pace that did not go unnoticed by the most experienced runners. MVDP is training in Javea, Spain, preparing for his debut - date still to be confirmed - in cyclocross, but for him, triathlon is more than just a simple thought.
