the Belgian Victor Campenaerts, of the Lotto Soudal team, achieved its first victory of 2022 this Sunday by winning the 56th edition of Tour of Leuven-Memorial Jef Scherens, contested for nearly 200 kilometers starting and finishing in that Belgian city.
Campenaerts, 30, won the sprint ahead of his breakaway partner, the Czech Zdenek Stybar (Quick Step-Aplha Vinyl). Both were 20 seconds ahead of the first platoon, led by the Norwegian Alexander Kristoff (Intermarche-Want-Gobert).
Campenaerts and Štybar jumped from the group 40 kilometers from the finish line, where they arrived exceptionally, despite the effort to neutralize them at the head of the peloton, to play for victory in one head.
