Wout Van Aert: " It's a perfect day for us" on Jonas securing yellow jersey with stage victory

The eleventh stage of the Tour de France concluded on Wednesday, with Vingegaard taking his first stage victory in the tour. His teammate Wout van Aert finished 25th, 17 minutes and 27 seconds behind him.

"We wanted to go for it today to attack the yellow jersey," said van Aert. "We were ready to go for it today and attack the yellow. Pogacar was able to fend off all attacks before the final climb, but in the end, we made him suffer enough. That way, Jonas could take advantage,” said van Aert to Sporza.

Van Aert is preserving his legs for the upcoming difficult stage. He is happy for his teammate finally taking his first stage victory and overall lead in the tour ." It's a perfect day for us," said Van Aert. Although van Aert did not secure the top position, he compensated for it with the 20 points he collected along the way. He currently holds the 36th position in GC, 48 minutes and 37 seconds behind his teammate and overall leader, Jonas Vingegaard.
