Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck) was met with an unruly spectator who blew vape smoke in his face at the end of his winning performance at the X2O Trofee Hofstade in Belgium on Monday.
The World Champion was racing his final lap of the elite men's hour-long race, and on his way to solo victory, when the spectator leaned over the fencing as he passed to blow a cloud of smoke in his face. The action forced him to turn his head away from the smoke; his racing glasses likely prevented smoke from getting in his eyes.
