Great result and great effort by Van Aert.
It was a good surprise.

Hope to see this form in RVV and Roubaix.

WVA back from the dead ready for his if attempt at PR!!

 

[Red Rick]

When did he come back to the group? Was it after the Cipressa?

a few kilometer before the start of the poggio.

Strong. After losing time due to crash he still performed very well at the end.

 

[No Excuses]

Wout train was rolling. Imagine he somehow takes this race. His comeback reminded me of MVdP at amstel 2019.

Looks like Van Aert is entering his super diesel shape again, I don‘t think it takes him to the front at Roubaix, but this was very impressive.

Beyond excited here at Wout's result today. Let's hope this exorcises his bad luck and positioning head demons.

I'd love for all the cards to fall into place for that long-sought Paris-Roubaix win.

 

[Gratemans]

I gotta admit, I didn't expect this at all. I'm impressed.

 

[Netserk]

very happy that he attacked ( and succeeded with it ) and didnt bank on his sprint

more of that please

Given how much bad luck he’s experienced, I can only think that a few years ago Wout must have broken a mirror while standing on a black cat at the same time as he was walking under a ladder. Maybe his measure of bad luck finally ran out with the crash yesterday and the fact that he got up uninjured to finish third. The hope is he can build on this and take some form into the rest of the season. A win at PR would be incredibly awesome, but you need everything to go right at that race, with no unluck. It’s the cycling equivalent of the Grand National. And maybe Wout is due a little good fortune. But you never know.

Van Aert too scared to admit to the patron that he was chasing. Smart move. On a serious note good 3 place for him.

Wout is keeping low profile ahead of Roubaix but who knows how dangerous he can become there (especially with a bit of luck on his side this time).

 

[Sciatic]

Maybe I missed this upthread, but what is Wout’s racing schedule until Roubaix? Would love to see him winning one if the cobbled classics even if not Roubaix.

According to PCS he's doing In Flanders Fields, Dwars door Vlaanderen, RvV and PR. Weirdly enough no E3.
