Zerostar-
Perhaps if he was supported by a better team, he'd be doing better? Also doing the bigger races like Dauphine, grand tours?
I get the impression that Van Aert is a more tactically astute road racer, whereas MVDP had more watts at his disposal. Maybe only because Van Aert has been doing more high level road races with Jumbo Visma.
We'll see how things go in the wet autumn classics season, super excited to see!

I'm not sure it's the way they've spent their time that's the problem. The lead out was impeccably implemented. The problem is they just don't have riders with the legs to get the results.
Having said that, after yesterday's mountain finish I was deeply impressed with Van Aert. After today's finish I'm swooning like a hormonal teenager. What a racer.
