Wout van Aert faced recent adversity after a disappointing performance at Dwars door Vlaanderen. However, during the Tour of Flanders, he showcased resilience and tactical fighting spirit, managing to follow Tadej Pogačar's aggressive attacks. Despite ultimately failing to secure a podium finish, Van Aert expressed satisfaction with his race strategy and performance. While he fell behind Pogačar and competitor Mathieu van der Poel, the day's experience reinforced his potential for future races, illustrating his determination to improve and succeed.
I'm happy with today's race," said Van Aert as he came into the mixed zone. It's been a really tough race of course and it really challenged me, but I know where my potential lies and what I can improve for the next races.
I was pretty sure he would go all in from the second time up Kwaremont already and it was good that I was in a great position because of my teammates so I could follow him there.
