"I think the most dangerous part of cycling is the riders themselves," Van der Poel told a press conference before Sunday's race. The change was announced a few days before the race, and Van der Poel responded to a video of the chicane posted on social media platform X by asking"Is this a joke?", and the rider is still not convinced.
"If you go into Arenberg in 20th position, it's pretty good, you're still in the race, but if you go into the chicane in 20th position, I think everyone who is after positions 5 to 10 will get stuck and then you easily lose 30 seconds."
