Aidan sits down with Tour de France stage winner and Visma | Lease a Bike workhorse Victor Campenaerts for a conversation about trading personal glory for the life of a super domestique in service of Jonas Vingegaard.
He dives into the art of climbing as a domestique, the trust inside Visma’s Tour de France train, and why hearing Vingegaard say “you will be a lot of time with me next year” means more than chasing his own stages.
There is an honest look at Tour tactics against UAE, his friendship and rivalry with Tim Wellens, and the emotional cost of team mergers such as Lotto and Intermarché, where friends and former teammates are left fighting for contracts.
