Hundreds of thousands of fans today in the countryside of Northern France to watch the Roubaix. And among them, an idiot. Who in sector number 8 could not think of anything better than to hurl a water bottle at Mathieu Van der Poel during his solo attack. The camera, positioned right behind the Dutch champion, clearly captured the object flying, Van der Poel's head moving to cushion the blow, and then the water bottle sliding to the ground.
It was 31 kilometers from the finish line - why not think that this idiot should be forced to walk 31 kilometers with kicks to his backside to reach Roubaix?
