Early life

Career
[edit | edit source]In his second year riding for Onder Ons Parike, Van Petegem won the Criterium Europeen des Jeunes in Luxembourg in September 2018, which he was quoted as saying was the best of his five victories in 2018. It was his first victory outside of his native Belgium.[6][7] He made his debut in the junior Tour of Flanders race in 2019.[8]
In 2021, stepping up to U23 racing, he signed to race for Home Solution–Soenens.[9] In August 2021, he signed a contract to ride for the Jumbo–Visma Development Team.[10]
He finished ninth in the under-23 version of Omloop Het Nieuwsblad in 2022, before suffering an injury to his hip that required two surgeries. The recovery from surgery left him in a wheelchair for four months and unable to cycle for eight months.[11]
In August 2023, he was announced to be part of the inaugural roster for the 2024 Lidl-Trek development team.[12]
Personal life
[edit | edit source]From Oudenaarde, he is the son of Peter Van Petegem.[13] His younger brother Maurits played football as a youth for KV Kortrijk before also taking up cycle racing.[14]
