Victor Campenaerts and his girlfriend now have a baby boy, and today's stage winner added: "I became a father and it was like, only blue skies. I started to feel very good on the bike and I came to this Tour de France with a super motivated team, with a super good atmosphere in the team. This is just the sum of this atmosphere in the team and we’re going to celebrate tonight.

"The support I have from my girlfriend is incredible, she's always there for me. We spent nine weeks in the altitude camp, she gave birth to our son at the bottom of the climb in Granada. She is the hero in this story.

"I'm so grateful that she made this possible, that the team made this possible. I had a super long altitude camp to prepare for this Tour. Because of the birth of my son, I didn't do any preparation races leading in the Tour but the team had faith that I would be in good shape. I will be leaving the team but I'm so happy that we can finish off with maybe the highlight of my career."

Stage winner Victor Campenaerts said: "As a real professional you have to ride the Tour de France, finish the Tour de France, but winning a stage in the Tour de France is everybody’s dream.

"I’ve been dreaming about this for a very long time. After the Classics, I had a very difficult time. I had a verbal agreement with the [Lotto Dstny] team about extending my contract. I got ignored for a long time and it was very difficult.

"I was at a long altitude [training] camp but my girlfriend was there, she supported me every day, [while] heavily pregnant.

"I was struggling to finish my training schedules but I changed my mind. I have a bright future now, still in cycling."

Victor Campenaerts is in tears before he even begins his post-stage interview.

And the yellow jersey group rolls in, 14 minutes down on the stage winner.

There will be no changes in the top 11 of the overall standings as the GC rival come in unscathed.

Within moments of claiming his first Tour stage win, Victor Campenaerts is on facetime... with a baby!!
