VIDEO – “This is crappy and marginal”: supporter throws beer on Eli Iserbyt, police immediately intervene

Sad scene during the Koppenbergcross. A supporter on the sidelines treats passing Eli Iserbyt to a beer shower. The Pauwels Sauzen – Bingoal rider remains stoic, but his team leader Jurgen Mettepenningen immediately reacts sharply. “This is crappy and marginal,” it sounds. The police present immediately intervened and escorted the beer thrower outside.

A moment to quickly forget in the otherwise attractive Koppenbergcross.

In the second round, leader Eli Iserbyt receives a cup of beer over his head from a “supporter” along the line. The rider himself did not respond, but his team leader Jurgen Mettepenningen immediately made himself heard.

“This is crappy and marginal,” Mettepenningen fulminates.

“Look, people like that better stay at home. This doesn’t belong on the cross. You come here to support, otherwise you have no business here.”

Nobody appreciates that. The people next to you are not having fun with that.

Our commentator Paul Herygers also looked at the scene with dismay: “It can’t be true, for sure,” he sighed. “We have already experienced it in Hulst.”

The police present immediately intervened and immediately escorted the man outside.

“It’s hanging on,” Herygers also saw. “You know there are images. Who the hell gets it into their head? That’s a bird to a cat.”

“No one appreciates that. The people next to you don’t enjoy it.”
