168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Mathieu van der Poel has hinted that 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Paris-Roubaix could be 🐲on his calendar next year as he looks to ride a red♌uced spring campaign on the road in 2019.

The cyclo-cross star told Dutch programme Peptalk that the ♏'Hell of the North' - as well as Gent-Wevelgem - could feature on his programme, but h🎃e is taking things as they come.

"Gent-Wevelgem, maybe a few other classics, Paris-Roubaix might be in between," Van der Poel told Peptalk of꧂ his potential Classics schedule. "I do not know y🎉et, I'm not a planner."

As well as his Classics ambitions, Van der Poel was asked about his desire to ride the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tour de France in the future. The 23-year-o⛎ld admitted that the race was a target, but he is also taking that particular goal in his stride.

"I would like to ride the Tour someday," he said, 𝐆"but I do not want to do everything fast because it's going well now. I want to keep it going for a while."

Van der Poel's cyclo-cross rival 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Wout van Aert made a splash at the Classic﷽s this year with ninth at the Tour of Flanders and 13th at Paris-Roubaix.

Van der Poel has ridden a sparing road programme over recent years, mixing it with his growing mountain bike ambitions during the cyclo-cross off-season, but has ne🌄ver ridden the spring Classics. This year, he won the Boucles de la Mayenne, the Ronde van Lim♏burg, the Dutch road race title, and the Arctic Race of Norway, as well as finishing second at the European Championships.

The Dutchman can certainly translate his cyclo-cross talent to the road, but he is not sure that he'll reduce himself to one discipline ꧂any time soon and is keen to keep mixing it up.

"The variety remains the best. I would not want to compete for a whole year, riding mountain bike or riding on the road. I like to 🍎combine♋," said Van der Poel.

"Cyclo-c🎃ross is seen as a national sport, but the level is very high. You see that top cyclists can also compete in other disciplines, and Wout and I were second and third in the road race at the European Championships, which says enough."

It is understandable that Van der Poel is eager not to rush himself into a corner, with cyclo-cro🃏ss still going to well for him. The Dutchman has already notched up nine victories since the start of the 2018-19 season, including the defence of his European title and the most recent round of the World Cup in Bern.

The cyclo-cross World Chamꦺpionships in Bogense, Denmark next February are his immediate target but his overarching ambition is the mountain bike event at the Olympic Gamesꦰ in Tokyo in 2020. He has won the Dutch cross-country title, la Rioja Bike Race, and three short course races in the MTB World Cup.

"My main goal, for the time being, is the Olympic Games on the mountain bike," Van der Poel said. "After the Game🌺s, I will be 25 and, in pr🎃inciple, I could ride on the road for another 10 years."
