Wout van Aert eyes next breakaway chance on gravel stage at Giro d'Italia, after failed 'attempts against my better judgment' on Saturday

GIULIANOVA ITALY MAY 17 Wout Van Aert of Belgium and Team Visma Lease a Bike prior to the 108th Giro dItalia 2025 Stage 8 a 197km stage from Giulianova to Castelraimondo UCIWT on May 17 2025 in Giulianova Italy Photo by Dario BelingheriGetty Images.

Wout van Aert (VIsma-Lease a Bike) has been absent from Strade Bianche since 2021, with the Belgian instead focusing on trying to win one of the cobbled Monuments, the Tour of Flanders, or Paris-Roubaix, and heading for altitude camp in March, not Tuscany.

But on Sunday, he will return to the white gravel roads and Piazza del Campo in Siena, where we won the stunning Italian one-day Classic in 2020, as Tuscany's sterrati play host to stage 9 of the Giro d'Italia.
