Wow-t van Aert! 😍 What's your favourite WVA victory? 🙌

[holymackenaw]

His TdF 2022 was the most dominant performance i have ever seen. GC riders pick their spots and stages. He dominated almost every stage for 3 weeks.

[christiandm]

He proved to be a great teammate last year in The Tour as well. Impressive cyclist on so many levels!

[TheWorldisaLIE]

won more in one season than most riders win in an entire career. what a legend

[izylldus]

That 2021 TDF where he won an ITT, a Mountain Stage & the Stage 21 Sprint Stage made me realize what a monster he really is.

[samdeluca]

Jonas won the yellow Jersey, but in my opinion Wout won the tour. What he did on a day to day basis was other worldly and made watching very very exciting

[TheReactor]

As a MVP fan, I must say yes no doubt WVA is the best all rounder.

[esrepu]

Only one who wins a ventoux stage and Paris 😃👍🏾

[waveteacher]

WVA is a once in a lifetime bike racer and a true class act. Enjoy watching the legend as it's being made.

[Theengineer]

My favorite cyclist, let alone the time trials that weren't included. Rainbow bands are just a matter of time!

[Alvio]

Not many riders winning cyclocross, classics/monuments, + tour de france sprint stages, mountain stages and time trials. Has to be up there with the best all round riders

[peterderidder]

World top TT - world top sprinting - worldtop cyclocross - world top climbing - tourettapes anny level - won lots and lots of classic and dayraces. 1 class teamplayer, Wout brought Vingegaard a lot of times back to the front of the peleton the tour vingegaard won !! In belgium alone wout have millions of fans . Even people who are not interested in cycling know Wout... He is just a fantastic guy . Belgium loves Wout !

[kristofbe]

It's just a joy to see this man ride.

[Xhadp]

Honorable mention should go to stage 18 of the 2022 Tour De France. While he wasn't the eventual winner getting third after going for an early breakaway has got be one of the best performances out there.

[milanreznicek]

This man is uncredible strong in every race. I admire him for his universal skills and extreme power, mental strength. I wish him this year to win big classics, he deserves it!👍👍😉😉

[dilligaf]

i luv Wally. Its not always about him is a great team mate and team rider .I;m hoping his best wins are yet to come. Was sad to see him loose the World's cyclocross this year. I'm hoping he can win all the monuments starting with Flanders this weekend . As a fan we are lucky to have the three kings now but Wally is my fave. Go Wally Go !!!!

[imcrypto]

Best teammate (ask Laporte, Roglic or Vingegaard), one of the best timetrials, one of the best CX, one of the best sprinter, able to win at ventoux or Liege Bastogne Liege, green jersey at le tour..

My fav is 2023 UCI World Cup Zonhoven; I really wished I was there. Wout is the best, wishing him to win in this year's Ronde.

[McHayes]

Yes. Most all-round rider for sure. Never the best in one discipline, yet always close. But as a total package, ... He's mighty impressive.

[simplyxuan]

Oh mahh gawd this is so hype for De Ronde!
