Wout van Aert's 2024 road campaign is nearing it's end but that doesn't mean there isn't still plenty of opportunity for triumph, starting at the Coppa Bernocchi.
"I want to end the season on a high note with a good week in Italy," van Aert told a GCN journalist before the start of the Coppa Bernocchi in a pre-race interview. "These are three fun races and three chances for a victory. For me it doesn't matter how the race goes, as long as I'm in the leading group in the final."
Often, the Coppa Bernocchi is decided in a sprint finish with the only recent exceptions being Vincenzo Nibali in 2014 and Remco Evenepoel in 2021. "On Sunday I looked at the race and was surprised that every time there was a large group that could fight for the victory. So I'm curious to see how the race will go," van Aert previews.
Van Aert concludes the discussion with a quick word on the much-talked-about merger between Jumbo-Visma and Soudal - Quick-Step. "It's not too bad how we're doing, we're still working on the current season of course. But it does keep us busy, for sure. Everyone is professional enough to complete those matches as they should. There is no stress in our team."

- He would still be faster on the course riding his cyclocross bike than in his Lambo!Pogboom28-12-2024
- i love the spirit of any of these younger guys who will say out loud I WANT TO TRY TO FOLLOW MATHIEU. they know plenty well what that means. vanthourenhout, eli, lars and company have kinda been beaten into submission by years trying and failing to keep up with mvdp. i feel for them, seriously. but it’s great to see younger riders show up and take their turn, full of hope.OCexile28-12-2024
- The nice thing about World Tour cycling is it never goes the way you think it ill, haha. Tadej breaking away so far out in the Worlds? Remco doubling up in Paris?
ScottG27-12-2024 - Pretty classy comments by Jonas. Makes me like him even more.ScottG27-12-2024
- MVDP is simply a cross "machine" - amazing to watch.ScottG27-12-2024
- yes, Jonas said that he had lost a little muscle mass. In the other hand, also Tadej changed his physique: thin, more lighter than ever, legs and glutes well defined (finally, no more junior legs). Both were more lighter than ever but Pogi could put more muscle in legs and glutes.
maria2024202427-12-2024 - He can keep contending for Vuelta podium spots. A lot would need to go wrong for others and everything right for him to get on the Giro podium. He'll only be on the TdF podium if he's becomes a podium presenter.Veganpotter27-12-2024
- I like that, mind if I use it from now on? Better than using his name which always gets me worried about Google hits and giving him the excuse he was bound to behave the way he did from the derived verb.Mistermaumau27-12-2024
- This website needs clicks so just vacuums up what is available and loves anything that creates discussion.Mistermaumau27-12-2024
- Their battles are only interesting or special when both are in good shape and unfortunately it’s been a few years since that was last the case, road cycling tends to put an end to most side careers, MVDP still being a rare exception.Mistermaumau27-12-2024
