Campenaerts wins European time trial title
Belgian beats Bodnar, Mullen in Herning
















Belgian Victor Campenaerts upgraded his national championship kit with the white and blue of European champion, taking out the elite men's time trial in Herning on Thursday.
The LottoNl-Jumbo rider topped Tour de France stage winner Maciej Bodnar (Poland) and Irishman Ryan Mullen in the 46km test.
"I felt well from the beginning and my Pioneer (power meter) confirmed that soon. I could maintain a high pace until the finish," Campenaerts said. "I always try to get the best out of my time trials. The fact that this results in an European title is amazing."
Campenaerts was the U23 European champion in 2013, but winning the elite race was a much bigger deal. "The difference between the U23-category and the professionals is huge. Despite that, I stayed focussed. I made a lot of progress over the past years and I’m very happy with my new jersey after I lost my Belgian stripes because of a crash.”
