CyclingTuesday, 22 August 2023 at 22:00
Wout van Aert was last seen in competitive action at the Glasgow World Championships, finishing in the top 5 of both the road race and the time-trial without managing to take victory. Now his return has been confirmed.
The 28-year-old Belgian superstar will be back in the UK on the 3rd of September for the start of the 19th edition of the Tour of Britain as announced by the race's official X (Twitter) account.
"So, we might as well make this official..." reads the post by the Tour of Britain's social media account. "Former champion Wout van Aert will return to the Tour of Britain next month!"
Van Aert has only once before raced the Tour of Britain, winning the general classification of the race back in 2021 by just 6 seconds ahead of Ethan Hayter.

- Just making the note that it’s actually closer to 120 because most of it is consumed in the first 4 hrs, not evenly across 5 hrs up until the finish.crharnishphd04-12-2025

- It's not a big blow for Pogacar. Today, Pogacar relies on a close, increasingly Slovenian circle of experts. Among them, the central figure is his longtime friend Ziga Jerman, who took on the role of masseur in 2025. Jerman has known Pogačar since before his global fame, when they cycled together at the Ljubljana club Rog, so Elguezabal’s departure does not pose a threat for Pogi but rather marks the end of a very successful chapter. UAE will have to fill the gap in its professional staff, but for Pogi, this departure will not play an important role.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
- OK, enough of this BS. No one went to college or university from kindergarten. First, Remco must graduate from high school with excellent results to meet with the professor Pogacar in university and to be in same room with him. But you see, Pogi the Great also has a PhD (doctorate in cycling). In 2026, I want to see that success from Remco in high school, because I haven't seen it in these 7 years.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
- calling him a star in cross before he beats MVDP or WVA is also a big stretch.mij04-12-2025
- I think once he's the undisputed leader in a race, he can become more consistent than he was in the past.Ride197404-12-2025
