[@adamdvorak3483]

i swear Campenaerts is a robot... the way he trains and rides, absolute machine.

[@arguello1]

Victor is my favorite cyclist. I discovered him when he launched his chanel on KZbin during the pandemic. He knew how to motivate me to train confined. So in 2021 when I had my first son I named him Victor!

[@ohnezuckerohnefett]

Myyy maaaan Victor Campenaerts!!!

[@BryceRichman]

I said this out loud when I saw this video pop up!

[@lazlo2511]

Finally Victor becomes the legend we all know he is! Your Tour victory gave me watery eyes! Well Done bro.

[@clovislefranc762]

I was happy to see him winning on the Tour. This was one of the emotional moments of this wonderful race. He seems to be a nice guy and when you see what he did to achieve his goals, we can say he clearly deserves his victory.

[@derekcravenPT]

One of my favourite pro riders , he seems very focused and knowledgeable yet approachable and down to earth.

[@Paintsithue]

Victor always puts a smile on my face

[@fredthompson9814]

This was a great video. Love Victor. He’s Chris Horner’s favourite rider. Love watching you race Victor and will be watching you in the Tour. Congratulations on the birth of your son to you and your wife. Cheers from Canada Eh.

[@a.campos891]

My man, Victor Campenaerts won today! Congratulations to him. An inspiring humble and out of the common athlete. I'm waiting for Chris Horner's video of today's TDF stage.

[@lowliquidity]

What an interesting fellow. His work on stage 18 of the 2023 Tour was incredible to watch! Excited to see him at this year’s edition.

[@_NoName...]

That final push at +-500 meters to the finish line gave the victory to the breakaway.

[@neilashton9459]

Living a strict life with food and training is indeed a super power. What a great win at the Tour!

[@brianmessemer2973]

I love Victor's idea to row as a way to balance out the back tension from cycling. It's totally logical but few do it. The man's brilliant. Happy for him and Nel to have their baby soon.

[@robertnobles8189]

My man Victor Campenaerts!

[@daviddjerassi]
