Felipe Nystrom is a rider that has been on the headlines quite a lot for the past few weeks, but his situation is quite different than the average pro. Currently however, he is not funded by any team or sponsors, and so depends on a GoFundMe to be able to complete the season.
Whilst cyclocross is not the best funded sport, most riders in the field get to enjoy it as their full-time job. That is not the case with Nystrom however currently. Initially it was the case, but following the incident in Gavere where he stopped to take a selfie with a fan, before being pushed off by Mathieu van der Poel who was lapping him, this was no longer the case. The reactions however after the steam blew off were good, and the Costa Rican rider continues to race and is a popular figure in the field.
