Van der Poel to miss Superprestige

Mathieu van der Poel will miss the Superprestige opener this weekend with a lingering knee injury keeping him from the Belgian race. The Cyclo-cross world champion sustained his left-knee injury while racing with the Dutch national team at the Tour de L'Avenir in August and has already missed the World Cup opener in Las Vegas and the first Belgian races of the 'cross season last weekend.

The 20-year-old was able to ride for 45-minutes on rollers without pain according to a statement released by his BKCP-Corendon team.
