Professional since 2021, Van Gils took his first pro win at the 2022 Saudi Tour, winning stage four and the general classification.[2] Considered a strong climber and classics rider, he has also taken a number of top 10 and podium finishes at classic races, including third places at the 2024 Strade Bianche and the 2024 La Flèche Wallonne.[3] He also won the 5 kilometer time trial at the 2024 Vuelta a Andalucía.[4] In May, he won his first UCI WorldTour race, winning a group sprint at Eschborn–Frankfurt.[5]
At the 2023 Japan Cup, Van Gils received a fine and was penalized 10 UCI points after hitting Georgios Bouglas just after crossing the finish line. He later apologized for the incident, and was not disqualified from the results.[6]
