They have both won Tour De France stages and big classics including the Tour of Flanders and Strade Bianche. It feels like Mathieu van der Poel and Wout van Aert can\u2019t be stopped. But is there a new van der Poel or van Aert on the horizon to take cycling by storm?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>This article will not compare the two, comment sections on social media have done that enough. Instead, it will ask whether anyone could join them \u2013 or even beat them. For this list, a set of requirements has been put together. Each rider must be a success across more than one cycling discipline, either cross or MTB, alongside a burgeoning road career.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Tom Pidcock<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2021\/08\/Tom-Pidcock-profimedia-0623978839.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-184893\" src=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2021\/08\/Tom-Pidcock-profimedia-0623978839.jpg\" alt=\"Tom Pidcock\" width=\"1000\" height=\"666\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We start with the most likely and the most obvious to break the duopoly. If you didn\u2019t know Tom Pidcock\u2019s name before the 2021 season, you definitely do now. Already a prominent figure on the cross scene with both Junior and Under-23 world championships under his belt, the 21-year-old is already battling the aforementioned duo across multiple disciplines.<\/p>\n<p>On the road, he beat Wout van Aert to take home Brabantse Pijl in April before losing to the Belgian by the narrowest of narrow margins at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.welovecycling.com\/wide\/2021\/04\/19\/wout-van-aert-and-marianne-vos-win-the-amstel-gold-race-and-other-cool-news-from-the-world-of-cycling\/\">Amstel Gold Race<\/a> four days later. The Ineos Grenadiers rider has been a constant nuisance for both van der Poel and van Aert for a couple of years and like those two, he seems to have endless potential, showing his abilities while getting from a broken collarbone to winning the MTB Olympic gold in just four weeks.<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed-controller-wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">What a day.

With three top 10s in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uci.org\/cyclo-cross\/events\/uci-cyclo-cross-world-championships\">Cyclocross World Championships<\/a> at the elite level and an incredibly consistent form throughout each winter since 2017, he is someone ready to take advantage if the top stars sit it out this year. Not only that but his road career is on the rise. He was a big animator of the race in his first grand tour at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.welovecycling.com\/wide\/2021\/05\/31\/egan-bernal-wins-the-2021-giro-ditalia-and-other-cool-news-from-the-world-of-cycling\/\">this year\u2019s Giro D\u2019Italia,<\/a> finishing fifth on stage 15 \u2013 the day most remembered for Victor Campenaerts taking the victory.<\/p>\n<p>We have got a feeling that if Hermans is going to realize his potential, it will have to be soon.

After good results as a junior including the overall win in the Junior Cyclocross World Cup, it was last year when the 20-year-old started showing signs of promise.<\/p>\n<p>In the Under-23 level, he won the Dutch Mountain Bike title as well as the rainbow jersey at the U23 Cyclocross World Championships, beating another hot prospect, Ryan Kamp, in the process. At just 20, he could just stay within the age categories for a little while but this looks like the first year where we will see the Baloise Lions star take on the big guns when they hit the mud come autumn. He is already starting to do that on the road, testing himself at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cyclingnews.com\/tour-de-wallonie\/\">Tour De Wallonie<\/a> \u2013 won by American Quinn Simmons \u2013 and the Baloise Belgium Tour in 2021.<\/p>\n<p>Time will tell whether Pim\u2019s early potential can see him reach the pinnacle of the sport but he has made a good start.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Andrii Ponomar<\/strong><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_184897\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-184897\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2021\/08\/Andrii-Ponomar-profimedia-0609984866.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-184897 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2021\/08\/Andrii-Ponomar-profimedia-0609984866.jpg\" alt=\"Andrii Ponomar\" width=\"1000\" height=\"666\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-184897\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ponomar at the 2021 Giro.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Probably the most left-field choice on this list but another rider with a bright future ahead. Ukrainian Andrii Ponomar is just 18 years of age but that didn\u2019t stop Gianni Savio from getting him started at the Giro D\u2019Italia back in May. He didn\u2019t shy away from the spotlight either, getting in the breakaway twice, most notably 18 days into the race on the road to Stradella, showing he already has the legs at a young age to compete with the battle-hardened World Tour cyclists. He also finished in respectable 67<sup>th<\/sup> place \u2013 not bad for the youngest finisher of the Giro since 1928.<\/p>\n<p>Since then, he won the national road race by more than five minutes over 227 km (very van der Poel) in what could be the first of many national titles for the teenager, also showing he can do it on those long one-day courses too.<\/p>\n<p>And with Androni Giocattoli-Sidermec known for picking potential world-class talent \u2013 Egan Bernal springs to mind \u2013 it\u2019s no wonder Ponomar is already being touted as a future star. He may not tick the multi-disciplined box just yet but come on, he\u2019s only 18. Who knows, he might flourish at cyclocross later in life.<\/p>\n<p>Realistically, it\u2019s going to be tough for any of these riders to emulate the incredible success and domination of van der Poel and van Aert have had since they started battling each other as juniors nearly 200 races ago. But if anyone is going to do it and tackle them across the different formats, it could be one of these five. And if not, well, at least it will provide some spectacular racing for years to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>They have notched up multiple world championship wins in cyclocross and mountain biking.
