Wout van Aert resumes lead-out role for Visma at Vuelta a España

Wout van Aert returned to lead-out duties for Visma during stage 11 of the Vuelta a España. After failing to secure a win for himself on stage 10, the cyclist shifted his focus back to supporting teammate Matthew Brennan. The tactical adjustment proved effective as van Aert successfully piloted Brennan to a strong finish. Visma director Frans Maassen noted that while the team aims to support Brennan in capturing additional stages, they remain committed to helping van Aert achieve his own stage win later in the race. The team continues to balance these internal objectives as the Vuelta a España progresses. Van Aert remains a central figure for Visma, operating both as a primary support rider and a designated contender for individual stage honors.
