An impressive scene during the Hulst World Cup. Mathieu van der Poel, already assured of victory, spat at some spectators on the last lap. The Dutch rider chose not to go into details about what had happened after the race.
Recall what happened
“It’s better to ask yourself. I won’t repeat that. These things don’t belong to sports; booing is not appropriate for anyone.” Van der Poel doesn’t think he will regret his reaction. “After a while, it was enough, even for me.”
Urine and beer were thrown at the World Champion
However, after the end of the competition, new information emerged about the regrettable incident. According to a fan present, Belgian fans threw beer and urine at Van der Poel.
