    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 UA-cam 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.

    You not just became second, you showed the world that you were the strongest in the race, I think we can agree that it’s common sense that you would’ve won if you had a front spot

    Hi Cameron, i'm the cousin of Emeric Turcat and he told me about you last saturday. What a great achievement! Huge congrats! I will be in Tabir next february with 2 friends. Hope to see you performing there ! Cheers

    "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.

    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

    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!

    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.

  • @realshaoran4514
    @realshaoran4514 11 місяців тому

    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 😄

  • @gary5926
    @gary5926 11 місяців тому +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.

    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!!!!!

    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!

  • @coachg4810
    @coachg4810 11 місяців тому +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!

  • @DaveBarryKlomp
    @DaveBarryKlomp 11 місяців тому +1

    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

    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!

    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!

It’s inspiring, fun and because of the time you devote during your busy schedule to vlog, you have connected with so many of us from around the world who will continue to support you because of your vulnerability and humanity. Wishing you the best throughout the rest of the season.
