Wout van Aert (Jumbo-Visma): “I can feel proud of this podium”

April 24 ^th 2022 - 18:50

With a bit more luck, I would have finished second today, but I’ve done my best and I can feel proud that I’ve stood on the podium today. The climb to La Redoute has been very fast. When Remco broke away many teams tried to chase him back, but he was too strong. As for me, my strategy was to wait until La Roche-aux-Faucons to see if I could be amongst the best guys there. It’s possible for me to win this race, but only if I am on a super day and all the aspects of the race fall into place in my favor.
