The big day is Saturday. The 110th edition of the Tour de France 2023 will start on July 1 from Bilbao, Spain. But cycling fans didn’t wait for the weekend to party in the streets of Spain. Thursday already took place the presentation of the runners who are preparing to cover the 3405.6 kilometers of course planned for this year.
The riders of the Jumbo-Visma, like the others, were entitled to their rounds of applause. A team that aligns the essential Wout van Aert. The Belgian, from Herentals, is the last rider to have won the green jersey for the best sprinter. This year, he would have different ambitions: focus on stage victories.
Why not dream again of taking the green jersey to the Champs-Élysées? The presenters of the team presentation obviously asked him the question. “Because I don’t like the color,” laughed the runner. A little joke that aims to change the color of the green jersey, actually a little darker than in previous editions. As he had already announced in the media, van Aert then repeated that he above all wanted to win as many stages as possible and help his leader, Jonas Vingegaard, to win his second Tour de France.
