The 27-year-old world-ranked No1 individual one-day racer is unlikely to ever win a Tour de France due to his powerful 6ft 3in a frame, but he did claim top spot on the Tour de France rankings this week too.
SWITZERLAND - Belgian Wout van Aert has been on fire in the first week of the Tour de France winning two stages including Saturday's sprint finale in Lausanne, finishing second three times and building up a seemingly unassailable lead in the sprints point race.
He delivered another breakaway through his homeland, parading the yellow, before giving it up to concentrate on the green. "I wanted to give my fans something to remember," he said. "When I was young I didn't much think about road racing, bunch sprints were boring for me," he admitted after Saturday's impressive win ahead of Michael Matthews and Pogacar. "I only started to like sprints when I got into the mix myself."
