Wout van Aert's Top 10 Most Important Cycling Moments (So Far)

Wout van Aert is a generational talent. He has more success in cyclocross and now on the road than you can count on two hands. But we tried to do that, all the same. Here are the top 10 most important moments in Wout van Aert's cycling career, so far.

Thas what people not realize. WvA and MvdP are riding bikes against each other since they were little kids. They both have huge respect for each other, press is trying to make them mortal enemies.

Gotta add TDF 2021 and 2022 now to this list. Incredible performances

Wout’s performance in 2016 at Namur certified my fan for life status

I discovered cyclocross a few years ago and it was amazing seeing him and mvdp battle it out. And to see them now is unbelievable. They made such a seamless transition to the road. I love the way he races. He never gives up and gives 100% every time. All the best in the future.

Being born in Belgium is great for this, seeing Wout finish second to Sven Nys at the age of 18 in (I think) his first cyclocross with the pro’s was amazing, they also had a tv show called ‘Container Cup’ were atletes from all branches of sport had to do several exercises, including a 3km time trail, Wout destroyed the time of MvdP with 10 seconds (also leaving behind guys like Remco Evenepoel/Greg van Avermaet, ...) think he had 500 watts average during that 3km, absolute monster

I see a lot of these vids but not a lot of them give me goosebumps. Nice angle on the topic, well done!

This is fantastic. Goosebumps all over again.

"This guy is like a bulldozer, with a wrecking ball attached. He'll leave a ring around your eye, and tread marks on ya back! He's an animal, he's hungry!" You called it Bill, back in 4.2, 5 years ago!

Nicely done 👌 As a WVA fan, I recall one important moment that defined or started his TT career, beating Tony Martin (still at his peak) in 2016 “Ronde Van België” prologue stage. It was a very short stage but still very surprised to see Wout suddenly on top in one of his first big road races. He is a powerhouse, able to perform high numbers during longer efforts. Possibly underestimated at that.

That mountain stage in 2020 Tour de France where he finished 3rd et showed the world he could also climb

please do more of these it was so fun to watch!!

[antidelusionalpeeps]

Van Aert is the definition of pushing your limits and never giving up to me. His mind is just too powerful, he won't let anything break him. That's why he became my favorite rider.

[MichaelMachado]

we need to get the algorithms from the heat check churning on youtube. This deserves more ears and eyeballs!!!

[tman]

You must add much much more to this list now.

[bobwassell]

Top Notch (as usual) Bill and Team. #teamwout

[geuros]

For me it's 2021 Tour de France and his combination of TT win, double Ventoux stage win and Champs-Élysées sprint win.

[rajiv]

Insane how much more he's added since this list in just 2 short years. Great compilation though!

[eddy]

As always, unequaled analysis and entertainment. 🙏

[whos]

Amazing cool video, it's amazing to see that during all these moments i was actually watching these races back then. Super nice video and according to me almost perfection in the order.

I'm so grateful that I'm living through the Wout, MvDP, Allaphillipe, Pidcock era. Each race some of them is in is such a cornucopia of great cycling. I do find the the omission of the 2019 Cx worlds race where what separated Wout from MvDP was a simple bobble in the finishing laps notable. Then again when these guys race it's always amazing.
