    Brother. I watched this race live from the States. Your performance was inspiring. My kids were watching too. They asked me why I was cheering for you and I told them about what I know about you through your CZcams channel and that I’ve been a fan of yours for years. Needless to say they started cheering for you too. Congratulations!

    I found your channel in 2020 and thought your videos about your development were so sick. I live in Cali and every time I wake up in a morning when there’s a big cross race on I look to see how you did. Thanks for being such an inspiration with all your honesty through these videos.

    Very proud of you mason. Im from belgium but seeing you become 2nd is honestly amazing. I was cheering for you all the way untill that finish line. On to a beautiful start of the season. As much as there will be up and downs, keep your head up. You're a beautiful human being and there is much more to come

    "If you would have told 14 year-old Cameron that he'd be pushing for the win...he would have believed you." I like that. I have absolutely no idea who you are, but that is an inspiring thing to say. Great ride, and all best moving forward.

    @ronskayakingandfishing414 Před 6 měsíci +19

    Great race. I saw when you caught up to the two guys in 2cd and 3rd (you were 4th). In the finish stretch, you tried to get them to help you chase. When they didn't... you shrugged your shoulders and proceeded to ride them off your wheel.
    Very impressive.

    Wow, that brought tears to my eyes. Lots of athlete's have big dreams but unfortunately not many get to realize them. You are there, you have put the work in and your bike handling is a master class for the other athlete's to try and replicate, I am so excited for you and looking forward to supporting you the rest of the season through thick and thin. Way to go Cam and a awesome video, especially for thanking all the folk that have supported you unconditionally over the years. You Rock Man!

    I don't know you but I've been following and loving the journey you have made so far. From travelling to Belgian races with family, Trinity and now 777 (Cyclocross Reds). It has been a joy to watch your development as a Cyclocross rider! Now nothing is stopping you from that first big Belgian win. COME ON CAM!!!!!

    You were amazing Cameron! My dad and I were watching and so impressed by how you kept everyone behind you. Us as Dutchies would normally support Lars, but we were cheering for you! Congrats and good luck for the rest of the cx season

  • @johnpboru
    @johnpboru Před 6 měsíci +15

    Loved that. Great editing, music and presentation but most of all.... what a performance. Your improvement over the last few months has been phenomenal and I always felt you would go well in this race, especially as the circuit became a quagmire with all those races shoehorned into one day. You really are the mud and gravel king.... it won't be long before you make that final step up to the top of the podium in the elite men's class. Chapeau!

  • @santiagobenites
    @santiagobenites Před 6 měsíci +4

    Congratulations on that fantastic ride in France, Cameron!!! It was great watching you charge through the pack like that. Your confidence is growing, and you're making such big improvements this year. It's only a matter of time now before you're standing on that top step!

    you will succeed cam, i watch your videos since 5 years, i see your upgrade and your shape growing, continue to show us how to ride a bike in the best way ever made. love you

  • @coachg4810
    @coachg4810 Před 6 měsíci +1

    For anyone who's never raced cx, it's impossible to appreciate just how hard it is to ride at that speed on a tricky, muddy track in those conditions. The skill and physiological effort are insane, only years of dedication and a huge amount of talent can give you those. Not done indeed Cam, just getting started in fact!

  • @rugbymurf
    @rugbymurf Před 6 měsíci

    Cameron, I was so stoked to weigh in when you took the leap to Triple 7 and did so well in Overijse and it was so great to feel so vested in your progress. And then this! Not only is the substance of what you have achieved so great, but I want to thank you so much for creating such a great video channel for us all to have been able to come along with you. It is fantastic to get to share these highs. But what is I think maybe even more special about your channel, is that you have done a great job of showing the daily drudgery of hard work when things are just not "peak experiences", and also, the times when you are in that trough. When sometimes, it's just hard. There are setbacks and it's a struggle. So thank you so much for all of that. Congratulations, and thanks for having us along for the journey. I'm so excited to keep tagging along for the next chapter!

  • @johnsenior478

  • @gary5926
    @gary5926 Před 6 měsíci +1

    Great result Cameron, especially given the crappy grid position.
    Recently, you have talked about what you have learned from Tom P, how those few final % can make all the difference. I hope after this race you've learned the most important lesson of all, you can win these races.
    No more being delighted simply to ride in the company of these stars. You are one of them, go challenge them and bring back those wins.
    We believe in you.

  • @bigmadmentalbaz
    @bigmadmentalbaz Před 6 měsíci +1

    Great Race! When I stayed in Linlithgow I remember a couple of years ago seeing someone coming down Preston Road, turning around and going straight back up, and knew it must be you! Well done, all the hard work is paying off - good luck with the new team 👋

  • @MrThaGoku
    @MrThaGoku Před 6 měsíci +3

    I never comment on videos but now I have to. Mega job Cameron! I remember the first time I saw you riding in one the "B" races here in belgium some years ago. I had my race a few hours earlier but wanted to stay and watch your race. You were an inspiration back then and now! Keep going!

    @jrm1946 Před 6 měsíci

    I watched the race live on Discovery Plus. To see you catch and pass Van Der Haar and then get so close to Vanthourenhout by the finish was fantastic. This video captures the essence of the day really well. Congratulations

  • @realshaoran4514
    @realshaoran4514 Před 6 měsíci

    Boy, this race was epic, congrats for the second place. One thing Marty MacDonald and Helen Wyman from GCN noted during the race is that you became the first non-dutch and non-belgian on the podium since the introduction of the elite European championships. That is amazing 😄

  • @DaveBarryKlomp
    @DaveBarryKlomp Před 6 měsíci +1

    I have been following you from the time you started posting on social media. I underestimated you, never thought you had this in you. But I am glad you did. I loved watching that race, you won as far as I am concerned.

  • @stianpollestad754

  • @johnvervoort1597
    @johnvervoort1597 Před 6 měsíci

    Congrats Cam with your first ever podium at the elites and that at the euros, and that starting from the 3 row. 2 silver medals in the pocket. I think you proved yourself that you deserve a spot at the Alpecin team for next year. Keep up the good work. From a Belgium fan

    @russwright Před 6 měsíci +1

    I started watching your YT videos years ago when you were driving to local races with your dad. At the time, I just loved the quality of the videos, it put me back into my local racing days. Never in million years would I have guessed you'd get a silver at the EU championships. Amazing, well done!
