Did he actually say that? It's equally likely that he just had a brain fart given the fact it was an Olympic race and pressure was on. Half way over the bars he was thinking "oh yeah, they were going to remove that".
Also, I wonder, did they get any warmup laps before the race?
EDIT:
"Van der Poel said on twitter, “I didn’t know. The ramp was there during the recon. I only heard they removed it during the test event”"
Ok, I'm out.
Pressure got to him?
