> He reaffirmed this on Sunday before the start in Koksijde. "I've always said I want to retire in my own country, with the record. There's not much left for me to win in cyclocross. Retiring is certainly an option, but nothing has been decided yet," Van der Poel said. This echoed what he said on Saturday: "With Hulst, it would be great to win the record world title in my own country. I'm not going to keep racing cyclocross forever. There has to be an end at some point. I've always said I want to finish on a high. Both on the road and in cyclocross. Will the World Championships in Hulst be the ultimate farewell ceremony? Who knows." After the World Championships in Hulst on February 1st, there's also the GP Adrie Van Der Poel, in Hoogerheide. But when asked if he wouldn't want to retire there, Van der Poel replied: "If you only finish fifth in Hoogerheide, you still have that aftertaste. You don't retire with a victory." If I become world champion in Hulst, I have the choice to do it there.”
Yeah he is DONE with this shit
