After fracturing his ankle in January and missing key races, van Aert initially struggles but recovers, showing strength on the climbs. He aids Matteo Jorgenson's stage bid, showcasing his returning form.
Van Aert admits, "I won’t say I feel top-notch, but it is good enough," emphasizing the importance of race experience over training. He acknowledges the unique challenges of racing in a peloton and responding to attacks, stating, "You can’t simulate this work in training."
