Race Recap
Van Aert wins in Calais
Wout Van Aert (TJV) stormed to victory today at the Tour de France after attacking on the final climb and dropping everyone to win solo. Jasper Philipsen (ADC) took second and Christophe Laporte (TJV) was third a few seconds behind the yellow jersey.
“I didn’t want to take the risk of losing anymore," Van Aert said. "It was quite obvious that we were trying something with the team. We were in a perfect position with Nathan [van Hooydonck] and Steven [Kruijswijk]. Nathan opened up. We heard through the radio that some damage was made, so I went full gas to see what would happen. I was a bit in doubt, if I had to wait for Jonas [Vingegaard] and [Adam] Yates but I went full gas so Jonas didn’t have to ride. In the last10km I went all out. This jersey gives wings. It was definitely a tough climb but this stage was very likely going to end up in bunch sprint, it was difficult to finish alone, but thanks to the work of my team-mates, I did it. It was up to me to finish it off.”\n
