Wout van Aert’s reaction to learning it was the second fastest Milan-San Remo is priceless
The Belgian finished third on Saturday
Photo by: AtlantaRouleurThe 2023 Milan-San Remo was the second-fastest edition in its 116 years, but Wout van Aert doesn’t seem to care too much. The fastest ever was way back in 1990, when Italian Gianni Bugno averaged 45.806 km/h. That year, as per 2023, both featured strong tailwinds. Winner Mathieu van Der Poel, however, does now hold the record of the fastest ascent up the Poggio.
Watch up close just how fast Mathieu van der Poel attacked up the Poggio
Although there are times when van Aert’s words get him in trouble, his reaction upon learning about the average speed is hilarious. Check it out below.
This somewhat surprised, yet seemingly pleased, reaction from Wout upon hearing this was the 2nd fastest Milan San Remo on record ??#wout #woutvanaert #Milansanremo #milanosanremo #LaPrimavera pic.twitter.com/bTUOMd7kzf
