Belgian Vot van Arte raised his arms before reaching the finish in the third stage of the Tour de Dauphine on Tuesday, but will certainly regret it after the Frenchman crossed him
Belgian Vot van Aert raised his arms before reaching the finish in the third stage of Dauphine Cycling on Tuesday, but will no doubt regret it after Frenchman David Godot caught up with him to win the stage.
“You have to watch the replay, I raised my arm early and I’m really ashamed to lose the podium like that and not finish the job,” said the jumbo visma rider.
“Victory was in my hands. Back in the day, when I saw pictures like another contestant’s, I was amazed. I feel the same heartbreak now.”
But Van Aert found some comfort after he topped the general classification for singles against the clock on Wednesday.
