Woman who threw a hat at Mathieu van der Poel during Paris-Roubaix asked to either meet three conditions or face a lawsuit
Cycling
French cycling union has prepared an official lawsuit against the woman that threw a cap at Mathieu van der Poel during Paris-Roubaix. However riders' union UNCP is prepared to drop the case if the woman meets three conditions, including an open apology for her action in the final of Paris-Roubaix.
According to WielerRevue, the UNCP, a riders' union affiliated with the CPA, has indicated that they want to stop the legal proceedings if the Belgian woman agrees to three conditions. The union wants her to acknowledge that she threw a hat at Van der Poel.
In addition, the woman must join 'Les Amis de Paris-Roubaix' as a volunteer, an association that maintains the historical cobblestone sections of the spring classic every year. Finally, the riders' union wants women to be involved in a new campaign on safety that will be broadcast to the international cycling public. In that case, the woman also has to show her face and will therefore be extra in the spotlight.
If the hat thrower agrees to those three demands, the UNCP will forget about the lawsuit. Otherwise, union president Pascal Chartier will continue to pursuit the lawsuit in court. The accused woman's lawyer has received the proposal. "We will now discuss it in depth to see if we can address it. My client wants to take responsibility, but we want to look at the proposals first," she responds.

- i don’t know nearly as much about bruyneel or hincapie as most of us do about lance, but we judge people by the company they keep. i hand no idea what psychological problems the other two have, but there’s gotta be something pretty severely wrong with them if they continue to choose to be close to armstrong.OCexile26-12-2024
- Ayuso and Rodriguez are only 22 and 23. Don't pressure it as they're still so sooo young.

- Oh, and yes: I am no psychiatrist/psychologist, but Bruyneel and Texas Turd are both sociopaths. It goes well beyond "protect my world and anyone would" that is the usual zeitgeist of their bullshit. No normal person has Bob Roll go at Greg Lemond with an audio recording device at Ron Keifel's bike shop...for example.EricJensenRidesBikes26-12-2024
- Funnier: this website keeps giving credo to their ramblings. In this case, why in any possible way would Boonen want to create a fantasy world to attach himself to these two clowns when more likely he would want to forget he was even there? Laughable.EricJensenRidesBikes26-12-2024

- yeah, that’s a more fair assessment. “reaching mathieu’s level” doesn’t mean you’re planning to replicate his whole career. the former IS doable, potentially. it’s just the latter that likely is not.OCexile25-12-2024
- That’s not entirely true. Every person follows their own development path and peaks differently. Remco and Primoz had hardly started cycling before elite level. Jonas was pretty much under the radzr until he unexpectedly had to take over responsibility at JV. Some guys only get real good in their thirties others have peaked mid-twenties. You can’t tell in advance how and upto what level they will progress, obviously his career might not have MVDPs length but nothing says he could not end up doing a few seasons at his level.Mistermaumau25-12-2024
