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.
"I don't really deserve to be here," Nystrom said after the incident on lap three when he stopped to engage with his fans and turned to get back on course just as Van der Poel was storming past. The rainbow jersey holder had to push on Nystrom to keep from crashing.
