I don't think I have ever seen someone do what Wout Van Aert (Jumbo-Visma) has done in the last two days. Yesterday he just about beat the Maillot Vert of Mark Cavendish (Deceuninck-Quick Step) to the line in a flat sprinter's stage. The very next day he drops all of the big names of the Tour on a truly tough stage that included a Catagory 1 climb followed by two trips up the fabled Mont Ventoux. And as if that wasn't a big enough feat, he decided that his victory salute should be done while standing on the pedals, out of the saddle and with his hands spread wide. Now that is some serious bike handling that I would never, ever attempt. Plus he gave the team something to celebrate as yet another member of the black & yellow squad was forced to leave the race due to injuries from a crash out on course.
