Although primarily present in a supporting role for
Jonas Vingegaard, there are sprint opportunities over the next few days. As such, Van Aert has the chance to regain that winning feeling. "We are here mainly for a classification for Jonas. We're not going to control things for a bunch sprint today, but I will get a free pass. If it stays together, I hope to place myself well," concludes the 30-year-old. "Winning a stage is not the immediate goal this week. But I'm not going to just let it go."
