“He’s playing with our balls... he's taking the piss!”: Tom Pidcock sums up how we all feel about Wout van Aert He may have lost yellow, but WVA once again underlined why he’s one of the most exciting racers on the planet cycling 📷Pauline Ballet, ASO
In a later interview with ITV’s Daniel Friebe, the 22-year-old Tour debutante elaborated on his mixed, and rather confused, feelings towards Van Aert’s tactics.
The Ineos Grenadiers rider is right. Van Aert could have waited. His result on the stage would almost certainly have been improved if he had. Van Aert and Van der Poel have been the dominant classics riders of this era of the sport, but their record in the biggest one-day races, the monuments, is largely defined by near misses. While Van der Poel leads the monuments victory tally two-one over the Belgian, since 2018 both riders have finished in the top ten of the five major classics a combined 20 times . But they are very rarely not in the fray – the pair’s lowest monument result is Van Aert’s 22nd at the 2019 Paris-Roubaix.
It’s fair to also say that cycling, particularly grand tour racing, experienced a period of ennui in the mid-2010s. The Sky train was out in force, and Tours were decided with the briefest of skirmishes.
