Van Aert will then close its season in Belgium, on September 20 at the Super 8 Classic, the former GP Impanis-Van Petegem.
“It was a great year, with important objectives that succeeded each other at a sustained pace,” said Van Aert, a stage winner at the Giro and the Tour de France this year.
“Like every year, spring and the tour were my main objectives. I am also happy to have been able to participate in the Giro. This diversity is the reason why I ran the Vuelta for the first time last year. This is something I need and that motivates me.”
“It is also important to have some beautiful objectives at the end of the season and this is my case with this calendar,” he added. “At the same time, after such a busy season, you have to make sure not to have your eyes bigger than your belly. This is why we have chosen to finish my season after the Super 8 Classic and to skip the world and European championships.”, Concluded the runner who will celebrate his 31 years on September 15.
