Mathieu van der Poel has been fined a total of A$1,500 after admitting two counts of common assault in connection with an incident in his hotel in Sydney on the eve of yesterday’s UCI Road Cycling World Championship Men Elite road race, won by Belgium’s Remco Evenepoel.

The Dutch star was arrested and taken to a police station where he was charged with two counts of common assault, and returned to the hotel at 4am. After admitting both counts, van der Poel was fined a total of A$1,500 by Magistrate Hugh Donnelly, who told him that he was wrong to have taken the law into his own hands and should have called hotel security instead,His lawyer told the Belgian broadcaster that in the courtroom, van der Poel’s partner “was in tears and he was very disappointed himself.

“I wasn’t back in my room until 4 o’clock. That’s certainly not ideal. It’s a disaster, but I can’t change anything anymore. I’m trying to make the best of it. “After a few times I was done with it. I didn’t ask so nicely to stop. Then the police were called and I was taken away,” he added.
