The UCI commissioners have fined Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck) 250 Swiss francs after spitting at a group of booing spectators during the UCI Cyclocross World Cup in Hulst on Saturday.
The World Champion stated following the race that his actions were in response to the behaviour of a group of spectators toward him during the race, "Even during the warm-up. I've had enough of those boos," he said.
