The Tour of Britain begins today towards Manchester and Wout van Aert returns to competition. The eight days of racing will serve for him to gather form into his late season goals, but he will also pursuit team work and results.
“There are several sprint stages and then it is normal that I will ride for Olav," van Aert said in a video shared by Jumbo-Visma. The race features six consecutive stages which should end in bunch sprints and this will be a treat for the fast men. "It's new to me and different from sprinting myself. I have some experience in bunch sprints and therefore know how hectic it can be. Hopefully I do well and can put Olav in a good position.”
He will be helping the Dutchman to success throughout the sprints, but possibly aiming for one or two depending on the situation. However after those days the Belgian, who will be racing the European Championships in seek of a victory, he will have two hilly days where he hopes to strike.
Stages 7 and 8 of the race will feature quite a few climbs and will be an accurate test to his form. There he will hope to also contest the overall classification and he has two names pointed out as his most likely rivals on the road and that is the home team INEOS Grenadiers: “With Tom Pidcock and Carlos Rodríguez, they have two strong pawns for the climbs."

- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
