Mathieu van der Poel collides with a lapped Felipe Nystrom in Gavere 2023 during selfie with fan.

After a mid-race clash with World Champion Mathieu van der Poel during the World Cup in Gavere, Costa Rican Felipe Nystrom is so ashamed that he has threatened to give up on the rest of his racing calendar and head home. Excellent article on the collision. My view, Felipe Nystrom gets lapped often, and has previously completely got out the way, but this time made a mistake. Taking a selfie in a race wasn’t the right thing to do in a World Cup, I hope he and others have learned from this mistake. lastly I hope he continues his cyclocross season as Mvdp wished him too, and to continue with out further drama or harassment.
