Jumbo-Visma super-domestique and sprinter Wout van Aert has undoubtedly been one of the stars of the 2020 Tour de France, taking stage victories in Privas and Lavaur while working for team and race leader Primož Roglič in the high mountains.

On stage 15, the Belgian was in control of the GC group for the first 9km of the HC-rated summit finish of the Grand Colombier as Egan Bernal (Ineos Grenadiers) and Nairo Quintana (Arkéa-Samsic) dropped away.
