Beer-throwing spectator led away by police at the Tour of Flanders

A spectator was led away by police after throwing beer over Mathieu van der Poel and Wout van Aert during the Tour of Flanders on Sunday. The incident happened as the pair were riding through the town of Oudenaarde with around 35km remaining of the race.

Van der Poel and Van Aert were not injured in the incident

Van der Poel and Van Aert were not injured in the incident, but it did cause some disruption to the race. The spectator was quickly apprehended by police and led away from the course.

It is not clear what motivated the spectator to throw the beer, but it is believed that he was unhappy with the way that the race was being conducted. Van der Poel and Van Aert had been riding aggressively throughout the day, and had been involved in several crashes.

The incident is a reminder of the dangers that cyclists face when racing on open roads. Spectators are often very close to the riders, and there is always the potential for accidents to happen.

The Tour of Flanders is one of the most prestigious races on the cycling calendar, and it is a shame that it was marred by this incident. Hopefully, it will not deter spectators from attending future races.
