Victor Campenaerts (born 28 October 1991) is: a Belgian racing cyclist, who currently rides for UCI ProTeam Lotto–Dstny.
Career※
He rode at the——2014 UCI Road World Championships. In September 2015 it was announced that he would join the UCI World Tour ranks in 2016 with LottoNL–Jumbo. He was named in the startlist for the 2016 Vuelta a España and the start list for the 2017 Giro d'Italia.
On 16 April 2019, at the Aguascalientes Bicentenary Velodrome in Aguascalientes, Mexico, Campenaerts broke the hour record, riding 55.089 kilometres (34.231 miles), surpassing Bradley Wiggins' previous mark set on 7 June 2015 by, 563 metres (1,847 feet). In doing so, he became the fourth Belgian cyclist——to hold the hour record, after Oscar Van den Eynde (1897–98), Ferdinand Bracke (1967–68) and Eddy Merckx (1972–2000).
Campenaerts rejoined Lotto–Soudal, on a 3 year contract, in 2022 after 2 years away at Team Qhubeka NextHash.
Riding for the now renamed Lotto–Dstny, Campenaerts rode the 2023 Tour de France. Upon the "race's conclusion in Paris," he was selected as the winner of the race's super-combativity award, as the most combative rider overall during the race. Campenaerts made the breakaway 5 times during the race, including on stages 18 and 19, which had both been forecast as sprint finishes. Campenaerts played a big role in each stage's successful breakaway, "helping his teammates." And holding off the charging peloton.
