Victor Campenaerts had his eyes on the first time trial today in the Tour de France, 25 kilometers against the clock to Gevrey-Chambertin, and he didn't disappoint. 'Vocsnor' could hold the best time for quite some time, after keeping off Kévin Vauquelin with only 76".

In the end Campenaerts took a fifth time. "I had a lot of fun. I really appreciate the confidence the team gave me. The goal for me was to take a top 10 today, I know that I can't win against the names that are in front of me. It was the first time I went all in on my beautiful Orbea Ordu time trial bike and right before the Tour we received a new Ekoï helmet, which really suits me. It was great. I was also really looking forward to this day, to see my girlfriend Nel and my newborn son. They gave me that extra push."
