A cycling spectator was in the headlines for all the wrong reasons after Liège-Bastogme-Liège Femmes, as a male 'fan' joined the race 31km from the finish and briefly rode behind Pauliena Rooijakkers (Fenix-Deceuninck), before being marshalled off the route by an in-race motorbike driver.
The man, who was wearing a UAE Team Emirates jersey, planned his moment to join the race after the Côte de la Redoute climb, pulling out of a side road and in between Rooijakkers and chaser Antonia Niedermaier (Canyon-SRAM zondacrypto), before his brief but idiotic moment in the spotlight came to an end.
