Who is Wout van Aert father Henk van Aert?
Van Aert began his career in cyclo-cross where he became World champion (2016, 2017, 2018) and Belgian champion (2016, 2017, 2018, 2021, 2022).
Van Aert rode the 2018 Strade Bianche, held partly on gravel roads in torrential rain.
However, he broke away with Romain Bardet (AG2R La Mondiale) and the pair lead the race for much of the final 40 kilometers (25 miles) before Tiesj Benoot (Lotto–Soudal) attacked from a chasing group to catch and then drop them in the final sector of dirt roads.
Benoot soloed to victory by 39 seconds ahead of Bardet, who dropped van Aert in the final kilometer; van Aert ultimately completed the podium a further 19 seconds in arrears, despite having to remount his bicycle after falling on the final climb in Siena.
Who is Wout van Aert’s father Henk van Aert?
Van Aert has not revealed much about his parents. What’s striking is that none of Van Aert’s parents were involved in cycling racing. It was one of his father’s cousins Jos van Aert who is a professional cyclist and is likely responsible for training Van Aert.
