Wout van Aert expressed that his collision with a spectator effectively ruined his podium chances, stating, 'Too bad, because I could have ridden for second or third place. But hey, I'm happy with how it went. I had a successful day.' This insight reflects his focus on the overall experience despite the setback.
Despite a challenging start where he struggled to clip into his pedal, van Aert managed to gain momentum, saying, 'I thought: this is already a bad start. But suddenly there was space on the left and so I unexpectedly dove into the field at the front.' His determination is evident.
