Wout van Aert arrived in Quebec on Tuesday, to compete for the first time in the Canadian classics. This Wednesday, at a press conference, he expressed his ambitions for the events in Quebec and Montreal.
He also answered many questions regarding Remco Evenepoel’s Vuelta. “I am especially disappointed for Primoz Roglic, with his fall and his abandonment, it is a new blow for himhe replied. Now Remco has lost its main rival and is therefore very well on its way to the final victory.
I’m not really surprised. We know he has great qualities. There he showed that he knows how to defend a leader’s jersey. For Belgium, it would be good if he keeps it until the end. Our country is a cycling nation, with a long tradition. But it’s been so long since we’ve won a Grand Tour.” It was in 1978, at the Giro, with the victory of Johan De Muynck.
