The Belgian rider sang in disguise, with the head of his costume concealing his identity, though there had been intense speculation the Visma-Lease a Bike rider was the singing squirrel.

While the singers generally perform multiple times through the series, Van Aert's appearance was limited to just one performance, due to his commitments; the upcoming cyclocross season and his ongoing recovery from his Vuelta crash.

"I was looking forward to it and at the same time I was a bit scared, it was a once in a lifetime experience," said Van Aert after his performance.
