Mauro Gianetti, who had already been a fan for a long time, is more than ever under the spell of our compatriot. “If there is a rider I would like to add to my team, it is Wout van Aert”explains the general manager of UAE Team Emirates.
“It will unfortunately remain a dream because he is under contract with Jumbo-Visma until 2024. And, even following that, I don’t see him leaving the Batavian team. Jumbo-Visma will never let such a rider go. They have him grow as a road cyclist. I honestly think they started their ascent together and they will finish it together.”
