Greg Van Avermaet will be at the start of the BK gravel this weekend. He will then ride Binche-Chimay-Binche (Tuesday) and Paris-Tours (next Sunday). The French classic will be his last race as a professional cyclist.
“I’m happy to return to the peloton after illness,” Van Avermaet posted. “The end of the season (and my career) is just around the corner. There are three more competitions to come: the Belgian Championship clay (which is also the European Championship, ed.), Binche-Chimay-Binche and Paris-Tours.”
A week after Paris-Tours, a farewell event “Goodbye Greg” organized by his fans will take place in Dendermonde.
Van Avermaet resumed on Thursday after an absence of almost 3 weeks with a 25th place in the Circuit Franco-Belge. At the beginning of May, 38-year-old Van Avermaet announced that he was in his last season.
He won 42 professional races, including the Olympic road race, Paris-Roubaix (2017), the Omloop Het Nieuwsblad (2016 and 2017), the E3 Prize (2017), Gent-Wevelgem (2017), the GP Montréal (2016 and 2019). ), Tirreno-Adriatico (2016), two stages in the Tour (2015 and 2016) and a stage in the Vuelta (2008).
