The Criterium de Madrid brought together thousands of people on Sunday afternoon on the streets of the Spanish capital. Gran Vía, one of Madrid’s main avenues, served as the stage for another great victory for the World Champion Mathieu Van der Poel.
The image was no mere coincidence, as Contador is an ambassador for Alpecin, a shampoo brand that sponsors and gives its name to Van der Poel’s team, whose presence in Madrid was spectacular.
The event also provided an opportunity for an encounter between idols of various nationalities and generations and their fans. However, what drew the most attention was the number of people eagerly waiting to meet Mathieu Van der Poel and Alberto Contador, as can be seen in the video below:
