HARROGATE, England: A convoy of Dutch-registered campervans lines one of the leafy roads leading into Harrogate and stencilled in white paint on the wet tarmac is the face of Mathieu Van der Poel.

To end that wait he must negotiate a treacherous 280km route in predicted brutal weather and beat a quality field featuring three-time world champion Slovak Peter Sagan, Frenchman Julian Alaphilippe and any number of Classics specialists. He spent more than an hour fielding questions from Dutch TV crews at the team's Swan Hotel on Friday - the place where crime writer Agatha Christie hid out for 11 days in 1926.

"It's been a really nice year for me, it was the first time I did the Classics and it went beyond expectations."
