Ghent Wevelgem lost the Protour status (it was called that this year) because of this edition. Pretty obvious they helped Mattan, even though he might have won anyway
Although he did get a bit of draft, he still had to get up to motos and follow cars on his own. Obviously Flecha was completely knackered so the result would have been the same regardless.
Anyone saying he cheated is an idiot, Nico didn’t make the cars position like that, what do you want him to do sit up and do nothing? He won fair and square
