Van Aert Sets His Return Date With The Vuelta In Mind

Wout van Aert is expected to return to competition at the Tour of Denmark, which begins on Wednesday, July 29. The Belgian missed the Tour de France because the elbow injury suffered in a training crash failed to heal in time.

The five-stage race will help Van Aert rebuild his rhythm before his next major objectives. His programme is directed towards the Vuelta a España and the World Championships, provided the elbow responds well to racing.
