The Jumbo Visma: "But it can't be in top form"

The Paris-Roubaix will have an awaited protagonist at the start: after days of training in Spain, and fresh from Covid that made him miss the Tour of Flanders two weeks ago, Wout Van Aert will race next Sunday's classic pavè .

The announcement was made on social media by his team, the Jumbo Visma: the medical staff of the Dutch team had taken the necessary precautions not wanting to take risks with the winner of the E3 GP: this is why Van Aert had missed the Amstel last Sunday .

However, the Belgian cyclist won his bet. Edoardo Affini , Timo Roosen, Mick Van Dijke, Mike Teunissen, Nathan Van Hooydonck and Christophe Laporte will race with him.

As also verified during and after training, says the sporting director of Team Jumbo Visma, "Wout's health is in excellent shape. But after a week of isolation it is no longer possible to be in top form in the race. Roubaix is poor and will miss Thursday's recon. All in all, it's far from ideal preparation. However, Wout can still play a role in supporting Christophe Laporte, Mike Teunissen or Nathan Van Hooydonck. "

A presence that puts in difficulty those who exchanged Van Aert at the Fantacycling before Flanders. While those who kept it in pink rejoice. What's going to happen on Sunday?
