Inside the Final Kilometer TdF23-106
Bedecked in his Belgium National Time Trial Champion's jersey, Wout Van Aert (Jumbo-Visma) was on a storming ride. He was posting the new best time at the first three time checks out on the 22 kilometer course. Urged on by the fans inside of the final kilometer of the stage, it was beginning to look like Van Aert may unseat the race leader from the hot seat, Remi Cavagna (Soudal-Quick Step). He has been looking for a stage win for the previous fifteen stages, was today going to be the day?
Spoiler alert: He did have the best time when he finished, but he did not win the stage.
