Alexander Kristoff's son takes fright at Flanders (Vine video still)Video: Flanders podium cuteness overload as Kristoff Jr takes shelter from Champagne shower
Normally, the only person who’d get near the legs of a rider who’s just won a 265km Monument would be his soigneur. Not so yesterday at the Tour of Flanders, however, where the toddler son of Alexander Kristoff sought refuge between his father’s pins, currently the hottest properties in cycling.
The cause of the nipper’s alarm? Well, Kristoff junior, dressed head to toe like his father in Katusha kit, had taken fright when the Champagne bottle placed by the second step of the podium, destined for Etixx-Quick Step’s Niki Terpstra, exploded suddenly, sending a column of bubbles skywards.
The following video of the premature jubilation moment posted to Vine subsequently went viral on social media.

Some major innuendo bingo being played out in this write-up...
Very tactful and polite comment and very considerate and courteous way to point it out...
Lovely reaction from the boy.
This is awesome
His kid seems way mellow. He was sitting up on Dad's shoulders after the race calm as a cucumber during interviews too.
