On stage four of this year’s Tour de France, Wout Van Aert landed a sensational victory in an early show of strength by his Jumbo-Visma team. 

As the race crested the final hill before the run into the finish in Calais, Jumbo-Visma ignited the race at the front of the peloton. Van Aert, clad in the yellow jersey of the race leader, then launched a stinging attack, powering away from Adam Yates (Ineos-Grenadiers) and his rivals on the way to a stunning victory.
