This shirt was worn during Stage 16 of La Vuelta 2024.

An eager Van Aert was again part of the day’s breakaway. The leader in the points and KOM classification had sixteen fellow escapees with him and reached the top of the first climb of the day first. He was also the first rider to reach the top of the second climb of the day, the Collada Llomena. Meanwhile, light rain caused a wet road. On the descent, things went wrong for Van Aert. Following the lead of another rider, the Belgian slid down in a bend, then hit the rock face. After trying to continue his way, he appeared to be in too much pain. The triple stage winner was taken by ambulance to hospital for further examination. This shirt is damaged as a result.
