Latvia protest against Mathieu van der Poel’s World Championships result, saying he ‘endangered spectators’

The president of the Latvian Cycling Federation has accused Mathieu van der Poel of endangering spectators during the World Championships road race, and questioned the UCI for not disqualifying the Dutchman.

Van der Poel bunnyhopped onto a pavement with 58km to go in the men’s event in Zurich, Switzerland on Sunday and accelerated past his rivals in a chase group. He then went on to place third, winning the bronze medal, ahead of Latvia’s Toms Skujiņš in fourth.
