Wout van Aert’s incredible winning streak shows no signs of slowing down, as the Belgian cyclist continues to dominate across various disciplines of road cycling. From the Tour de France to cyclocross and one-day races, van Aert’s versatility and consistency have solidified his status as one of the sport’s brightest stars. But the question on everyone’s mind is: can anyone stop the Belgian phenom?
Van Aert has built a reputation as a rider capable of excelling in nearly every type of race. His remarkable strength and endurance have helped him win stages in the Tour de France, where he has consistently outperformed rivals in sprint finishes and breakaways. Beyond the road, his pedigree in cyclocross—where he has captured multiple World Championship titles—demonstrates his unmatched skill in varied conditions, further solidifying his claim to the title of cycling’s most complete rider.
The Belgian’s success is also rooted in his tactical intelligence and ability to read races like few others. He’s often in the right place at the right time, whether in a bunch sprint or an aggressive breakaway, outwitting opponents with his precise timing and positioning. His physical attributes, including his explosive power, make him a formidable opponent in any race scenario.
Despite this dominance, there are challengers who may be able to halt his momentum. Young stars like Mathieu van der Poel, who shares a fierce rivalry with van Aert, and the experienced Julian Alaphilippe, known for his punchy finishes, are potential threats. However, as long as van Aert maintains his form, there are few who can match his all-around ability and mental toughness. For now, it seems the Belgian is destined to continue his reign, with no immediate end in sight to his winning ways.
