Belgian Wout Van Aert and his Jumbo-Visma team are potentially seeking compensation from the Tour de France after the crash that cut his right leg and forced him to abandon this July 19.

The cyclocross and road star, who won the wind-swept stage 15 to Albi, has yet to race again and can only now walk normally. If all goes well, he will race a few cyclocross races before focusing on the spring Classics. But those barriers on the side of the road in Pau, remain an issue and at the centre of a letter sent to Tour organiser ASO.
