July 20, 2022 at 19:11 Wout Van Aert mathematically secured the green jersey in this year’s Tour de France No one can get more points than Wout Van Aert in the battle for the green points jersey in this year’s Tour de France. It became clear after the 17th stage of the race on Wednesday. It reports cyclingnews.com. The Belgian has 416 points, while Tadej Pogacar in 2nd place has 202 points. Thus, it is mathematically impossible for anyone to catch up with Van Aert, who still has to complete the Tour de France to win the green jersey for the first time. The 27-year-old Jumbo-Visma rider has shown enormous strength through this year’s Tour de France, where he has two stage victories so far. The first triumph came on a hilly 4th stage to the French city of Calais, while the second stage winner came on the eighth stage by the mountains of Lausanne, Switzerland on 9 July. Van Aert has also done surprisingly well on the tough mountain stages in the Tour de France. In summary, the Belgian cyclist is in 30th place. There are four stages left of this year’s Tour de France. On Thursday, there will be a tough mountain stage ending at Hautacam, while it will be a flat stage on Friday. The traditional cycling race ends with an individual pace stage on Saturday, before the last stage with a finish on the Champs-Élysées on Sunday. (NTB)
