And the proof of this is the overwhelming fear of the same wout van aertthat would have been run over by the concrete mixer.
The event, as revealed by former professional cyclist Jan Bakelantstook place on March 28, when the Head of Jumbo-Visma I train with a few other runners and one of them is bakelants. “I had to make intervals of 40-45 kilometers per hour and the bike lane where we were riding was not safe. That’s why we went parallel to the road,” explained the Belgian runner.
According to bakelantswhen they were going down the road they heard the horn of a concrete mixer truck, whose driver also told them not to go in the bike lane, an attitude that Bakelants explained as follows: “As befits a true highway pirate, the driver of the concrete mixer closed the door while honking”, Van Aert had to change his path to avoid being run over.
Already in a press conference and given the popularity that the event has achieved, Van Aert himself wanted to explain: “These are incidents that unfortunately happen almost every day on the road. I have received many messages of -concern, even from my wife, who thought I was about to be run over at this very moment. All these messages were in vain. I’m still alive!”, he concluded.
