Milan Fretin van Cofidis pakte de overwinning in etappe 4 van de Volta ao Algarve 2025. Eén van de verslagen renners in de finale was Wout van Aert van Team Visma | Lease a Bike, voor wie zijn team de hele dag veel werk had verzet. Velen vroegen zich echter af of Fretin Van Aert legaal passeerde in de sprint naar de streep?
Toen de renners het tempo verhoogden op de licht heuvelachtige finish, leek Fretin Van Aert te passeren, waardoor de Visma-renner gehinderd werd in zijn mogelijkheden om voluit te sprinten. De wedstrijdjury was het er blijkbaar niet mee eens, want de overwinning van Fretin werd herzien. "Ik moet het nog terugkijken, maar ik voelde dat hij me passeerde", gaf Van Aert toe aan Eurosport na de etappe. "Ik dacht dat ik in een goede positie zat voor de laatste bocht, maar de lead-out ging er toen vandoor."
Toch wil Van Aert geen schuldige aanwijzen, want hij vertelde aan de Belgische media Sporza. "Er ontstond een gat en ik moest daarna heel lang sprinten. Maar uiteindelijk was ik gewoon niet sterk genoeg in de sprint. Petje af voor Fretin. Als je op zo'n finish kunt winnen. Ik hoor in ieder geval niet meer bij de snelste Belgen. Ook al was het zwaar, het moet voor mij nog wat zwaarder worden, zodat de andere sprinters moeten loslaten", oordeelde hij.
