Teams & Riders Official Wout Van Aert thread

[Low is rhe new high]

He is the most popular rider globally. For example, number of followers on Instagram. What metric do you have to show Wout is more popular globally?

Yeah there is probably a lot of fanatic Slovenians on instagram following Pogacar.

Where is Pogacar more popular? I can understand if he is more popular in Slovenia? Maybe he is more popular in UAE as well? But apart from those small strange countries?

I'd think Pogacar is by far the most popular rider among the very casual cycling fans.

Wout is belgian so the biggest cycling nation is wirh him. For example, italians seem to like Pogacar a lot, mroe than Wout.

To use a common Dutch expression

"Lekker gewerkt, pik"

I hope pik means something else in Dutch than in Danish...

Goosebumps, tears, heartbeats, broken voice. I'm so filled with joy right now.

Well, you did politely ask Tadej to let Wout win, right?

Slovenia is only 2 million people though.
Some of them don't care about cycling, some don't like Pogacar (my impression is that Pogacar isn't overly loved there) and others don't use Instagram/randomly follow celebrities.

Overall, I'd say probably 10% of Pog followers are Slovenians. Not "a lot".

The Tdf winner usually is.
