Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Fenix) won Strade Bianche after an intense battle between the biggest names in the sport on the dirt roads of Tuscany.

The Dutch champion then attacked and dropped them on the Via Santa Caterina climb into the heart Siena to win alone on the Piazza del Campo.

Great race with 3 riders hitting the final hill with 1k left to go. van der poel stood up halfway up the hill and gapped Anaphillipe by a good 50 meters in about a 100 meter stretch.

The MVDP attack was like an explosion. Absolutely insane

MvdP is my favorite rider ever. He just races so aggressively and seems to have fun.

ETA: this race was so entertaining and the young American Simmons really showed his quality before the flat.
