The publication of new images of the spectator who threw a cap at Mathieu van der Poel as the world champion rode towards victory in Paris-Roubaix has revived speculation that her action may have been intentional - something the spectator in question has categorically denied.
The cap-throwing incident on the Mérignies sector of pavé sparked uproar when initial footage of the spectator's action emerged, given the evident possible risks involved, although Van der Poel was unaffected.
