With the victory in the bag, the world champion was able to ease towards the finish line in Hulst. As he rounded one of the corners on the final lap however, van der Poel pulled over to the side of the course, near the fans and targeted a certain individual with some well-aimed spit.
According to his immediate comments post-race, this particular section of fans had been booing and abusing him throughout the day.
