The technical demands of cyclocross courses mean you are unlikely to produce your top one-hour power in that discipline.

But you will produce some crazy peak power spikes...over and over and over and...

The kind of peak power spikes that would enable a 170 pound guy to answer all of Del Toro's accelerations in the gravel stage? Wout for all his cyclocross peak power is really best at the more steady state efforts (time trials, heavy mud cyclocross and long climbs within the context of being 170 pounds) in short he is an enigma.

Is already clear, if van Aert will target the green jersey this year at the tour?

They haven't communicated this, and I'm not sure he cares. Let's see if he sprints in the first stage.

Yeah let´s see.

In 2022 he won it with a big advantage.
In 2023 he didn´t care, because it was always planned, that he will not finish the race, because of the birth of his child.
In 2024, due to injury he didn´t start with a good form, so he also didn´t went for the jersey.
