Van Aert leaves Tour de France to be with pregnant wife ahead of childbirth

Van Aert left the Tour de France to be with his wife Sarah who is about to give birth to their second child.
Van Aert's departure is not expected to impact teammate Jonas Vingegaard's chances of winning the Tour de France.
Van Aert decided to leave after learning his wife was expected to go into labor soon and consulting with his team.
Vingegaard currently has a substantial lead in the general classification and Van Aert's presence was not essential.
Van Aert expressed leaving the race is strange but not a dilemma given Vingegaard's position to likely win his second Tour title.
