Mathieu van der Poel won the Paris-Roubaix race on April 7, 2024, amid disruptive behavior from spectators.

A spectator threw a cap into Van der Poel's wheel, and others threw beer at him during the race.

The cycling community expressed outrage, with the cyclist's union planning to take action and social media users calling for penalties against the offenders.

A search has been initiated to identify the woman who threw the cap at Van der Poel.

The race was notable for a controversial safety measure and unusually sunny weather, deviating from the typical muddy conditions.

In the women's race, Belgian world champion Lotte Kopecky claimed victory.

Footage of Van der Poel's race-winning attack and sections of the race, including the Trouée d’Arenberg, are circulating online along with full race results.
