BREAKING: Wout van Aert leaves Tour de France to join his wife, who is due to give birth soon
CyclingThursday, 20 July 2023 at 09:08
The Tour de France is decided in favour of Jonas Vingegaard (more than 7 minutes ahead of Tadej Pogacar in the general classification) and Wout van Aert will now leave the race to be with his expectant wife.
The Belgian has already warned that, should his wife go into labour, he would abandon the Tour de France regardless of the general classification. Luckily for Jumbo-Visma however he has been able to wait until the race is seemingly all sown up.

Today the rider announced his departure and Jubmo-Visma released a video in which van Aert himself explains his decision: "As everyone knows, Sarah is pregnant and things are getting tight. So, after consulting with the team, we have decided that my place is now at home. The doctor has told us that the baby will be born soon."
All of us here at Cyclinguptodate.com wish Wout van Aert and his family all the best!

- “During a TT, I am basically blind”. That was his quote after crashing into the barriers in a TT. The problem isn’t the UCI, radios or air bags. The problem is the riders and their teams.JoeyB22-12-2024
- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
