There are only 4 places for Paris, 2 of which already seem certain. Wout van Aert and Remco Evenepoel, because the time trialists must also come from the road team. For the other 2 it is a choice between possible medal candidates or helpers. Sven Vanthourenhout, national coach: “A super servant, a model servant, is Yves Lampaert, who absolutely qualifies. There are a number of names that we really know what they can do for us in the national team. And Yves is one of them. someone who has never disappointed within the national team, always on time. That is of gold value in a road race that can yield gold.”
