Van Aert will lead the Dutch Jumbo-Visma team at the UK’s biggest cycle race off the back of winning the prestigious final stage of the Tour de France on the Champs-Élysées in Paris and claiming silver in the Tokyo 2020 road race within the space of six days last month.
The 26-year-old already possesses a decorated palmàres, having won the prestigious Milan-Sanremo, Strade Bianche, Gent-Wevelgem and Amstel Gold one-day races, as well as three UCI world cyclo-cross titles. His participation in the Tour of Britain reiterates Team Jumbo-Visma’s support of the race. In recent years, the world’s number three-ranked team have selected the likes of Primoź Roglič (runner up in 2018, two-time Grand Tour winner and Tokyo 2020 time trial gold medallist), Tom Dumoulin (third place in 2016 and Tokyo 2020 time trial runner-up), Dylan Groenewegen (four-time Tour de France stage winner) to compete in the event. The remainder of their six-man squad for the Tour of Britain will be announced in due course.
