Dutch champion Mathieu van der Poel (Beobank-Corendon) won the rain-soaked eighth and final round of the DVV Trophy in Lille, Belgium on Saturday. The 22-year-old came away with the victory after a race-long duel with world champion Wout Van Aert (Crelan-Charles), who won the sprint for second place at short distance. It was more than enough for home rider Van Aert to claim his third consecutive overall win in the DVV Trophy series. Tom Meeusen (Telenet Fidea Lions) claimed the final podium spot at the recreational park in Lille.
