Wout van Aert named the Tour’s most combative rider

In addition to taking his third stage victory of the 2022 Tour de France on Saturday afternoon, Wout van Aert added another prize to his and Jumbo-Visma’s haul at the race as the selection panel awarded him the title of the Tour’s most combative rider, “super-combatif”.

That achievement comes after three weeks of stirring performances by the 27-year-old Belgian, who won three stages en route to putting together a dominant green jersey campaign.
