Halfway through the race in Overijse, Belgium the likes of Van der Poel, Tom Pidcock and Eli Iserbyt were exchanging blows across the start/finish line when a young puppy found itself straying onto the course.
While the riders continue to race full gas, the sound of buzzing freehubs and ringing cowbells make the dog become even jumpier as he begins to run down the course.
The dog was first seen running behind the two leaders Pidcock and Hermans, but it looked to give up its chase, until Iserbyt and Van der Poel then passed through the straightaway.
The dog was then seen chasing Van der Poel's back wheel as he tried to sprint away from it through the finish line at the start of the second lap.
Several people including a course marshal tried to catch the dog through the finish line, but were unsuccessful. The dog continued chasing riders into the first few hundred metres of the course and caused one rider to stop and unclip from his pedals.
Eventually, the dog was caught and removed from the course as Van der Poel returned to winning ways, beating Pidcock and Quinten Hermans to the line.
