But it was also impressive for you?
I have not experienced a driver who starts like him. That's impressive, yes. He can go full throttle for more than 30 or 40 seconds, and he still manages to do so after one and a half hours of racing in the final lap. I was able to keep him at bay a lot last year because I attacked hard after the start. This is my only chance. Or I try to force him to mistakes. Who has such fast muscle fibers as he is usually not so strong in endurance. But this year shows that he has both. If he has such a good day as in Val Di Sole, he can not be beaten.
Absalon or Van der Poel - against whom is it more exhausting?
It's easier to get stuck with your opponent and know that you're stronger than him on a tough final lap or sprint. Absalon was even more extreme than me, he had even slower muscle fibers, but in the endurance performance was better than Van der Poel or me. As long as I could hang onto his rear wheel, I knew that I would hit him. Van der Poel is doing the same to me now. Even though - as I see in the short races - I continue to count among the most explosive drivers.
Even with 33 still?
I do not think that's a matter of age. Van der Poel and I would duel the same way if we were the same age. The fact that he is not only world-class on mountain bikes, but also in cycling, and that he can keep pace with the world's best sprinters, simply shows how good he is. He is currently the best cyclist in the world.
