Gent-Wevelgem 2023: Laporte and Van Aert's Dominance and Controversial Gift

Belgian cycling legends Eddy Merckx, Johan Museeuw, and Tom Boonen have criticized Wout van Aert's decision to gift his teammate Christophe Laporte victory at the Gent-Wevelgem race. Van Aert let Laporte take the top spot after breaking away with him more than 50 kilometres from the line. Merckx, Boonen, and Museeuw all said they would not have done the same thing, with Boonen arguing that Gent-Wevelgem was a bigger prize to give away than a stage of Paris-Nice. Van Aert justified his decision by saying that Laporte is a good friend and that it would feel strange to sprint against him.
