Career

edit

Lampaert practiced judo from the age of six, earned a black belt, but at the age of 17 started training in cycling.[4]

 
In 2018, Lampaert won Dwars door Vlaanderen for the second consecutive year, the first rider to win successive editions.

He rode at the 2014 and 2015 UCI Road World Championships. He was named in the startlist for the 2016 Vuelta a España.[5]

Lampaert won the 2017 Dwars door Vlaanderen, a local race for him,[6] after he soloed away to the victory after making the race-defining split along with teammate Philippe Gilbert, Alexey Lutsenko from the Astana team, and Orica–Scott's Luke Durbridge.[7] Lampaert attacked with 7.5 kilometres (4.7 miles) remaining and ultimately won the race by 39 seconds ahead of Gilbert.

Lampaert won Stage 2 of the 2017 Vuelta a España after he broke clear of the peloton in strong winds with three kilometres to go with three Quick Step teammates, Niki Terpstra, Julian Alaphilippe and Matteo Trentin. Lampaert then attacked to take a solo victory and by doing so he gained the race leader's red jersey.[8]

In 2018, Lampaert won Dwars door Vlaanderen for the second year in a row, becoming the first rider to win the race in consecutive years.[9] In July 2018, he was named in the start list for the 2018 Tour de France.[10]

Lampaert won the first stage of the 2022 Tour de France, ahead of Wout van Aert and Tadej Pogačar.[11] In November 2022, Lampaert signed a three-year contract extension with the Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl Team, until the end of the 2025 season.[12]
