Mathieu van der Poel at the center of the controversy before the Tour de France 2025 for his agreement with a private jet company. The Nerlandeus phenomenon has announced its partnership in these days on its social channels with a transport company, but the message has not been appreciated by all its followers. If the use of this type of means is not a novelty on its part (for example, this winter flew to Besançon immediately after winning the heats of the Loenhout World Cup, then winning also in France just two days later), not a pleasure in part of the public is a more systematic use of a means that clearly is not among the most ecological, to use a mildness.
“I understand the concerns for the environment and respect everyone’s opinion – he later answered in the first person, seeing the scope of what was happening in his account – at the same time, the way I travel is incredibly important for my sport and my career. I work hard every day to get performances of the highest level and this means that I have to make decisions that they thunder my time, my health and my mental state. healthy because I am less stressed. “
Van der Poel is therefore a decision linked by sporting reasons, not an ostentation: ““ This partnership does not concern luxury. It concerns the performance, recovery and support that helps me to give 100% when I have to compete. I try to make responsible choices where I can, but I remain faithful to my commitment to my goals “.
