‘It often surprises me that people think it’s all super serious for us’ – Jonas Vingegaard’s right-hand man Victor Campenaerts on Visma’s Giro d’Italia build-up

Grand Tour winners down the years have often had a right-hand man, and for heavy favourite Jonas Vingegaard at the upcoming Giro d’Italia, that will be Belgium’s Victor Campenaerts.

As versatile as they come, and a vital helper in both the chaos of navigating sprint finishes and in leading out the Dane on the climbs, Campenaerts’ talents as a domestique de luxe were something that Vingegaard specifically requested for the race from Bulgaria to Rome.
