KALKEN MONDIAAL We raced Ubuntu

Kalken Mondiaal. Abal ontmoetingsplek.

Victor Campenaerts won de vijftiende rit in de ronde van Italië. Het was de derde ritzege voor Qhubeka-Assos in vijf dagen. Opvallend was Campenaerts’ zegegebaar. En zijn uitleg aan de internationale pers (die niet overgenomen werd in de Vlaamse pers). “This morning at the breakfast we said ‘what else can we do to make this Giro even greater for the team?’ Two victories was amazing, three victories is just epic.” He crossed the line raising his arm and fully extending his thumb and fingers, replicating the symbol on the South African team’s jersey. He then cited the team’s motto in the post-race interview, using the Zulu word emblazoned on the collar of the squad’s jerseys. “We raced ‘Ubuntu - I am because we are.’ We tried to give everything for each other, we did an amazing race.” (Irish times)
