In the midst of its mediocre spring go aert celebrated two things

Although he did not achieve what was expected of him. In the midst of its mediocre spring van Aert celebrated two things.

It is true that 99% of the platoon would be happy with the results obtained by Wout van Aert, Top 4 in all spring classics played from through Flanders. However, the best are required accordingly and in Visma Lease Bike hoped that monuments would win.

But the Belgian was never at the level of Pogacar and van der Poel, not even that of Pedersen, which is why they recapitulated and began to see the glass half full. This follows from the words of sports director Arthur van Dongen.

“They should not allow Remco to leave when he did,” he told HLN, referring to the moment his team lost the Amstel Gold Race, in the absence of 25 kilometers. “If you can’t endure with him on the climbs you should not blame, but in the flat sections, Wout and Tiesj could and had to leave with him,” he threw.

That said, the director shared two reasons why the team leader and the directors were relatively happy. “When Wout went up to the bus, he said he was happy with the fact of defeated Matthews in the Sprint for fourth place. It was a positive ending for the classic campaign,” he said.

While the athlete was happy for having recovered his sprint, the team was on the other hand. “Wout can be satisfied with his Carrerra on Sunday. He was the heaviest cyclist in the top 20 and that was not noticed in the climbs,” he explained.

Finally, with that in perspective, he took the opportunity to dismiss a rumor that circulates in networks. “If Wout would like to go for the general classification in the Italian turn, then I would not have been in Brabantse or Amstel, he would have left to train at height,” he closed.
