Wout van Aert

As Belgian national road champion, Van Aert appeared with Max Verstappen in an Oracle Red Bull Racing commercial during which all of Verstappen's tyre technicians pretended to change Van Aert's bicycle wheel as if he'd make a pit stop. Verstappen passed Van Aert with his Red Bull F1 car. He bantered: "It's a pity that Max happened to pass me as I had a flat tire [a punctured tire]".

As it turns out, I'm the best of all normal people. [Van Aert in July 2023, after finishing third in the stage results with the cycling world looking awestruck as Jonas Vingegaard and Tadej Pogacar had just relegated the peloton during the Tour de France time trial in Combloux, France]
