“I don’t want to lose all the team’s winter clothing so early in the season” - Victor Campenaerts issues plea to fans to return kit

Ahead of the Classics season, which begins this weekend with Omloop Het Nieuwsblad and Kuurne - Bruxelles - Kuurne, Victor Campenaerts has issued a plea to fans to return any of his kit that they might find on the side of the road when watching a race.
In an interview with Het Laaste Nieuws, the Belgian rider said “in the hustle and bustle of the race it is impossible to hand over every piece of clothing to the support vehicle, so I will always throw my excess clothing towards the crowd”.

Campenaerts explained the predicament that doing this puts him in, as he said that “the problem is that I don’t want to lose all the team’s winter clothing so early in the season, because if all the Spring Classics become so chilly and wet, I will run out of stock within a month”.
There is an incentive for fans to return the clothing items, as Campenaerts stated that “the people on the sidelines who pick up my clothes can email me and we can agree how I will get the clothes back. In exchange, they receive a coffee and a voucher for an autographed cycling jersey at the end of the season, when I no longer need that clothing”.

- The other commenters are exactly right - different eras. It does help that bikes now have lower gears without sacrificing higher ones.

- Times have changed, Bart Wellens, and it's only natural and makes total sense that riders like Wout van Aert and Mathieu van der Poel's primary focus is on their road careers. It has absolutely nothing to do with doing a 'disservice' to the UCI.
