VIDEO: Wout van Aert does grass riding before kicking off Tour de France training

Wout van Aert has had a very busy winter and spring preparing for the Cyclocross World Championships, and then both Tour of Flanders and Paris-Roubaix. He's taking time off from serious training now, and taking the opportunity to have fun, as shown in a video he recorded riding through a grass field.

The Belgian has recently taken a bikepacking trip through northern France and into Champagne, using the few weeks after the spring classics to relax physically and mentally above all. The latter being crucial as he is soon to embark on a long preparation for the Tour de France where he has big goals, and so whilst he can he puts on a display of his off-road riding skills.
