After finishing 19th at Saturday's Primus Classic, Mathieu van der Poel (Corendon-Circus) has said that he feels good ahead of the upcoming UCI Road World Championships.

The Dutchman's final test before next Sunday's road race – his first at senior level – didn't end with a dominant or astonishing performance as we have seen from him on numerous occasions throughout 2019, but the 24-year-old was happy with how the 197km race went.
