About Cam:
Cameron has always dreamt of winning a World XCO champs since he was 8 years old. His idol was the late Burry Stander whom he still pays respect to in all his viral media posts “# I ride for Burry” . 2017 saw Cameron realize his dream and as a first year u19 junior competed in 2017 Junior World Champs that was held in Cairns, Australia. A top 10 was a realistic goal in his first year as an junior so he could learn and build on this for a shot at the 2018 u19 World title. Well things went exceptionally well and Cameron won the 2017 Junior World Champs convincingly. Cameron is exceptionally dedicated and gives 100% in all his training. He currently races for the Planet-PCS-Racing MTB team which is sponsored by Planet Cycles and Specialized Australia. Cameron is also sponsored by Shimano Australia, Cornetts Supermarkets, Progressive Coaching Systems, Ride Mechanic Australia for bike care products, 32Gi Australia for nutrition , Champion System apparel and Oakley eye wear.
