Career

Perspective
He rode in 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.[1] He was named in the startlist for the 2016 Vuelta a España[7] and the start list for the 2017 Giro d'Italia.[8]
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).[9] 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).[10]
Campenaerts rejoined Lotto–Soudal, on a 3 year contract, in 2022 after 2 years away at Team Qhubeka NextHash.[11]
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.[12] 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.[13][14]
He continued with Lotto–Dstny into the 2024 Tour de France, at which he won Stage 18.[15][16]
On 26 August 2024 Visma–Lease a Bike announced that Campenaerts would return to their team for the 2025 season, he signed a contract for three years. He rode for this team previously when it was called LottoNL–Jumbo.[17]
