Comparing the impact of F1 and cycling globally seems an unfair comparison in many respects. From the salary of its protagonists to the global impact of each sport. But this time cycling achieved a small victory over F1. The road cycling world champion, Mathieu van der Poel, has been chosen as sportsman of the year in the Netherlands, beating the winner of the Formula 1 World Championship, Max Verstappen.

Mathieu van der Poel has been named Sportsman of the Year in the Netherlands. At yesterday's gala he beat the other two candidates, the F1 driver Max Verstappen and the cyclist Harrie Lavreysen. The voting system included the votes of the other athletes, which were worth 50% of the overall score, and the votes of a professional jury, which were worth the remaining 50% of the final score.

Although Verstappen was proclaimed F1 world champion for the third time in a row, this time he was overtaken by Mathieu van der Poel, winner of 2023 Milan-Sanremo and Paris-Roubaix, as well as the cyclocross and road world championships.

[email protected] I am a fan of everything that has 2 wheels: at a young age I practiced road and track cycling (Italian Allievi champion). At the age of 18 I passed into the cross country competing at national/international level as an Under23. Past Elite, I made the choice to take things more lightly from a training point of view, and my love for gravity disciplines was born, training me as an FCI MTB instructor and guide. Now I have made passion my profession by managing 2 MTB centers on the island of Elba (Bike Center Elba and Elba MTB), creating the FANTAmtb and telling in an ironic but professional way everything that revolves around MTB thanks to 365mountainbike and 365TV (YouTube'PULITI dentro BIKER fuori').
