"We are already experienced in turning the page" - Wout van Aert looking to move on from stage 2 controversy
CyclingMonday, 03 July 2023 at 14:30
After the disappointment of missing out on a stage win to Victor Lafay on stage 2 of the 2023 Tour de France, Wout van Aert is now looking to move on and concentrate on achieving success in the remainder of the race.
"You always lose more races than you win," the Belgian of Jumbo-Visma told Wielerflits before the start of the third stage of the race. "So luckily we are already experienced in turning the page and looking at the next day."
There had been some controversy in the final of stage 2 as Jumbo-Visma unsuccessfully attempted to reel in Lafay. Even Wilco Kelderman of the Jumbo-Visma expressed his belief that a turn from Jonas Vingegaard could have made a big difference and given van Aert, who eventually finished second on the day, the stage win.
With stage 3 presenting more of a traditional sprinters day, will van Aert attempt to mix it up with the likes of Mads Pedersen, Jasper Philipsen and Mark Cavendish? Only time will tell.

- Nonsense Mistermaumau. Tom has noticeably more character and personality than Mathieu. Look at the photograph with this article - when was the last time you saw Mathieu crack a smile like that?RupertBear17-12-2024
- Get over yourself! Tom is fine, he's quite a character in his way - he's got a great sense of humour for a start. Watch him and Matt Stephens do one of their cafe rides, they're both a hoot. I don't mind Mathieu, but he's a bit of a cold fish in case you haven't noticed. You guys make me laugh, you get a unique rider like Tom appears on the scene and all you can do is bitch! By the way Senna, your use of a comma and then the lack of a space between words is usually an indicator of ASD. Now I'm being bitchy!RupertBear17-12-2024
- Whining isn’t a good look, Lance. Oh and doping or not, the GOAT is still Eddy Merckx imho - lance couldn’t t even come close when you compare resultsCrashjames16-12-2024
- * not taking anything away from the tireless sacrifices wout has made as a superstar. those are two extraordinary individuals.OCexile16-12-2024
- sadly true. mathieu is the bedrock AD was built on, and he’s always shouldered that role and always seen the bigger picture: took MUCH less money than he could have gotten while the team was growing, and has written them new book on what it means to be a completely selfless superstar, witness every ferocious leadout for jasper and what he did at MSR last year. yup, so far that’s not thomas.OCexile16-12-2024
