The last rider to accomplish that in his debut at a Grand Tour was Fernando Gaviria, who also won four stages at the 2017 Giro d'Italia. Brennan can't praise Van Aert enough ADVERTISEMENT But for Brennan, number four is just as special as that first one. 'It's unbelievable,' he exclaims in the flash interview . 'Four wins here—the plan was to get just one. And as a team, we're now up to six, I think. I've lost count; we've won so many. During the races we wanted to win, we always stuck to the plan. We saw the guys all day—they pushed really hard. To finish it off like this, with Wout guiding me through the final, that was perfect.' He has nothing but praise for the green jersey wearer, whom he calls the best lead-out man in the world. 'I don't think anyone comes close. It's a shame we lost Christophe, but it's still incredible what we can do in these kinds of situations with one less rider. I trusted Wout and followed him all the way to the finish. It's unbelievable that he can get me into a perfect position in such a chaotic race.'
