Illness delays Wout van Aert's preparation for Strade Bianche
Cycling
Wout van Aert has had a busy winter, with his preparation to the cyclocross World Championships a successful one, but the result being a second place. His focus is now in the road season, but a recent illness has slowed down his preparation.
After a few days of rest after the Hoogerheide World Championships, van Aert travelled to Tenerife where he has met with several of his teammates who are training at altitude at Mount Teide. The Belgian has been ill for the past few days however, skipping some days on the bike.
Van Aert will start his season at Strade Bianche after ending his training camp at Teide, and will aim high this spring. After having a Covid-19 infection bust his main goals of last year's spring, van Aert once again aims to win the Tour des Flandres and Paris-Roubaix. Strade Bianche and Milano-Sanremo are also on his plans as he leads a very strong Jumbo-Visma into the spring.

- 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
