Van Aert was passed on the final lap by Thibau Nys, then steered into a turn a little further out. There, he collided with a fan, causing him to crash. "It was not Thibau's fault - he did a nice maneuver to get to the front. Only I was on the outside of the turn. And there was a fan hanging completely over the course. Unfortunately, I collided with him,"
so he said afterward.
Sven Nys now shares Instagram images from a different perspective, with one clear message alongside: please stay behind the fences!
