Wout Van Aert sells hypobaric tents and a used bike trainer online – -

That a cycling professional of medium cabotage sell your used bikes there is something to do on the web to earn some money. Let someone do it two-wheel starperhaps less.

But the story appeared on Thursday on the Instagram profile of Wout Van Aert, the Belgian Jumbo champion stopped in the pits for a few weeks due to injury, he has no precedent. Wout has put it up for sale three objects: a roller (dated, when it was produced it cost over €15,500) on which to mount the bike and then, listen, a double hypobaric/hypoxic tent (at the link: what is EPO and how does it have the effects) with built-in compressor (B-Cat brand) and a disturbing Dream Cap, a sort of transparent hypoxic niche into which you put your head to sleep by inhaling air with a low oxygen content.

Use of the hypoxic tent (liberalized in Italy since January 1stbefore it was doping and a criminal offence) is well known by many athletes, The fact that a former world champion and cycling superstar sells used gear like this online has never been seen before. Purists are in mourning, prices are not known, interested parties can write to [email protected] asking (perhaps) for an autograph on the objects.
