Matteo Jorgenson has come to the defense of Belgian cyclist Wout van Aert following backlash from local fans after Van Aert's disappointing 15th place finish at the E3 Saxo Classic. Many fans expressed confusion over his performance after he skipped significant races to focus on altitude training. Jorgenson highlighted Van Aert's impressive achievements and the personal sacrifices he has made during his rigorous training regimen, emphasizing the need for a more understanding perspective from fans who may be upset with his recent results.
"I see a lot on social media from any Belgian rider that does anything, and just look at Wout's palmarès, he's one of the best riders of all time."
"He went there for three weeks, away from his two kids and wife, to train. The whole time, he woke up in the morning, weighed his food, went out and trained, came home, and weighed his lunch."
