Despite putting in a strong effort, Wout van Aert finished second to Mathieu van der Poel in the Benidorm World Cup.
"I am happy that I did not fall in the sprint, but mostly disappointed that I did not win," he said in the post-race interview.
He further added, "I knew the lead position was crucial for the win. I also bale about my tactics. I had to go all in on the last lap until the last park and then keep the lead there."
The final showdown was between him and the Dutchman, with Van der Poel ultimately outmanoeuvring him at the finish line. "But now I was mainly focused on staying in front instead of keeping pace. He passed me in the park, and I couldn't make up for that," concluded the Jumbo Visma rider.

- 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.
