An unnecessary fall due to just as unnecessary risks? “I understand it somewhere, although it is strange that so many risks are taken for the places of honor,” said the Belga-Lease A Bike Belgian, who is also critical of his fellow drivers. “On the other hand, this is the largest competition in the world, so it is also logical that riders throw themselves, even if that is only a twelfth place,” shows Van Aert understanding for his colleagues.

“You can expect that riders to fight for that, but that does not mean that you have to make curves in the last 500 meters. Here the organization will fail a little bit.”

Attack -luster Wout van Aert

Van Aert is not yet rewarded with a stage victory despite the fact that he was offensive. He also attacked again on Saturday. “In the first part I did not have the legs on which I hoped. I tried it a number of times, but I did not have the gear in my legs to really participate.” On Sunday he gets a last chance. “Then I will definitely try it again.”
