Wout van Aert and his Jumbo-Visma teammates spent two nights near Imola between Tirreno-Adriatico and Milan-San Remo, the Belgian perhaps channeling the positive vibes of his 2020 peak of form that included second in both the time trial and the road race when the World Championships were held on the motor racing circuit last season.

Van Aert was also second at Tirreno-Adriatico but is determined and hungry to take a repeat victory at Milan-San Remo, the week of hard racing in Italy lifting him to peak form in time for the biggest Classics of the spring.
