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!

Perhaps if he had fully committed to the road and not to win the MTB Gold in the 2020 olympics
This is his issue as I understand it. The postponement / cancellation of the 2020 olympics has totally fucked him.
That his old nemesis from cyclocross is now winning everything left right and centre must be the shit icing on the shit cake.

2019's MVDP is crying, don't forget about me.
