"I saw my friends finish the job," he referred to teammate
Jonas Vingegaard's Tour victory. Van Aert was the only
Jumbo-Visma ride who did not finish the Tour, but the remaining riders made sure that his number 6 was there everywhere. "That was a big highlight," says Van Aert.
The Belgian also completed training rides after the birth of his second son. He focuses on the World Cycling Championships in Glasgow, which will be held on Sunday 6 August. However, there was also some time on Monday to welcome Tour winner Vingegaard in Herentals. The Dane gifted his Belgian teammate with a mini yellow jersey for little Jerome.
