'wout van aert naar de tour' (en hij hoeft er niet te knechten bergop)

wout van aert

Na zijn zware val in Dwars Door Vlaanderen, vlak voor zijn grote doelen de Ronde van Vlaanderen en Parijs-Roubaix moest er al snel een streep door het geplande programma: geen Giro en een andere voorbereiding op de Spelen. Die lijkt nu te gaan bestaan uit de Tour de France.

Rentree in Tour of Norway

Dat meldt althans de Vlaamse krant Het Laatste Nieuws. Het dagblad meent te weten dat Van Aert op 23 zijn rentree zal maken in de Tour of Norway. Daarna zou hij zijn pijlen richten op de Belgische kampioenschappen, zowel de wegrit als de tijdrit, om vervolgens aan de start van de Tour de France in Bologna.

Eerder liet Van Aert nog weten de Tour niet de goede voorbereiding te vinden op zijn grote doel van het zomerseizoen: de tijdrit op de Olympische Spelen in Parijs. Die vindt al zes dagen na de finish van de Tour plaats.

Rol als kopman in Tour

Maar daar is verandering in gekomen nu het steeds onwaarschijnlijker wordt dat Jonas Vingegaard de Tour (in topconditie) zal rijden voor de geelzwarte Nederlandse ploeg. Voor Van Aert is er dan een vrije rol of zelfs een rol als kopman in de Tour weggelegd.

Hij kan z’n ritten uitzoeken en hoeft niet meer het berewerk te verrichten in de bergettapes dat in eerdere edities wel van hem werd verwacht. Op die manier zou hij fris aan de start van de tijdrit in Parijs kunnen staan. Het zou ook een ideale kans zijn om nog eens voor het groen te gaan in de Tour.
