Victor Campenaerts is currently competing in a Grand Tour, which means he provides cycling fans with a daily vlog. In the opening days of the Vuelta, the Belgian, together with teammate Matteo Jorgenson, called out Jan Ullrich, who responded in his own unique way on Tuesday. For the call,
we have to go back to day two of the Vuelta, when the peloton started in Alba. Jorgenson comes up with a āfact of the dayā about the start location every day, and he had one ready for Alba, too. "Why do you think this place is responsible for 25 percent of global hazelnut consumption?"
"Because of Nutella, from Ferrero. We are standing next to the Nutella factory and headquarters," said the American. "It's here." Campenaerts then had a fact for Jorgenson. "Did you know that during the off-season, Ullrich would put a jar of Nutella in the microwave and then drink it?"
Read on below the video!
The two continued to bicker for a while and then decided to call Ullrich himself to verify this, who responded via Instagram with a video in his stories. āHey Victor and Matteo, that was indeed my trick as a cyclist when I was a pro. But in the summer, you don't need a microwave.ā
āIn the summer, you have the sun,ā Ullrich said, taking a big sip from the jar of Nutella. āGood luck, guys!ā
