Nico Mattan

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nico Mattan (born July 17, 1971) is a Belgian road racing cyclist, who rides for the DFL-Cyclingnews-Litespeed.

Mattan won the Ghent-Wevelgem Classic in 2005 in a controversial way, as there were claims that he used Publicity cars to sprint past Juan Antonio Flecha. He has also won 2 stages in Paris-Nice, in 2001 and 2003.

He is known to be very supersticious, for instance his lucky number is 17 (check his birthdate), if his race number is 17 or if the ciphers add up to 17, he will look very happy and believes he will win. Once he got number 13 and wore it upside down to avoid bad luck.
