There are love relationships that last, that survive the passage of time despite the ups and downs. Today Wout Van Aert and his team, Team Visma-Bike Leasethey set a good example of this. Therefore, Van Aert extended the contract linking him with the Dutch team, which expired in 2026, until the end of his career. “It’s something unique to our sport, but we don’t have to think about it too much,” he said. Richard Plugge, CEO of the team.
Van Aert then arrived Team Jumbo-Visma in 2019 and initially became an ambassador for the team. He recorded important victories, including nine episodes of Tour de France and three stages of The Return. The 30-year-old cyclist has participated in several important races, such as Milan-San Remo, the Amstel Gold Race, the Strade Bianche, the Omloop het Nieuwsblad, the E3 Saxo Classic, the Ghent-Wevelgem and the Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne this year. He is a multiple Belgian champion, triple world champion in cyclocross and won a bronze medal in the time trial in Olympic Games in Paris this year.
The runner himself published a post on social networks in elo explaining the reason for his renewal, and in accordance with the renewal of Herentals commented that “I didn’t have to think hard when I came up with this idea. First of all, because of Team Visma | Rent a Bike We work with the best people and the best equipment. Together we constantly seek to improve, which means we continue to improve individually, but as a team. I owe a lot of success to that, we really did it together. But apart from that, I’m very comfortable with this team, which is very important for me. This team has been unique and suited me for five years and I want to keep it that way. “That’s why I decided to stay here forever, and that’s really nice.”
And how could it not be different, Richard Plugge His decision was applauded: “Wout is, of course, a fantastic racer with a great track record. He is an all-rounder: he is a sprinter, a classic racer, a time trialist and, at his best day, he even won a mountain stage, like the famous victory in Mont Ventoux in the Tour de France. But, in addition, Wout has become an important culture carrier, an indispensable link in our team. He is a leader and a team player. He is a runner who also makes other team members better, just by his vision and charisma. “We’re very happy with him and, fortunately, that’s mutual.”
Van Aert is currently recovering from the fall he suffered at La Vuelta, as a result of which he missed the rest of the season.
With this change for life, the Belgian also closed the doors to a possible change of scenery, which sounded more or less forced after the birth of the new RedBull-Bora-hansgrohebecause Van Aert is sponsoring the same energy drink brand.
