Wout van Aert wins stage 20 time-trial for Jumbo-Visma and Jonas Vingegaard makes sure of his yellow jersey
“It means everything, it’s really incredible,” he said. “It’s the biggest thing within cycling and we did it. Having my two girls on the finish line means even more to me. Since last year I always believed I could do it and now it’s happened. It’s really incredible. It’s both a relief and I’m just so happy and proud.”
Asked about his aggressive approach, Vingegaard pointed to 2020, when teammate Primoz Roglic saw his advantage in yellow disappear on a stage 20 time trial, allowing Pogacar to come through and take his first title. “Of course I think about what happened two years ago,” he said. “We all were thinking about it. I wouldn’t say we were afraid of it but we had it in our heads and didn’t want it to happen again. I just wanted to go for it today and go for as good a result as possible.”
