Great review of the nature of the course (my local trails that I've been riding since the mid '90's!)... Looking forward to spectating on the route on Sat & Sun and being blown away by the Strava segment KoMs that are bound to fall! p.s. There's many more interesting trails in the forest de soignes (the woods from just after Waterloo to Terverun) than those they've used for the course...
@@pmcmpc you have to be a total idiot of you ask did I even watch. I've never said I dislike this course. But there is basically zero gravel there. It would be a fun course to ride with friends but it's absolutely not a good course for a gravel WC race. Not only because there is basically zero gravel, the course is to narrow for a big group to race there. This is bike path world championship. Who cares if this is the most technical course bla bla bla... So is the course of XC world championship, maybe we should ride gravel bikes there next time ?
He can't wear the rainbow jersey here even if he had won in the road championship against pogi ...you need to be the gravel world champion to wear the rainbow jersey in a gravel recon or a race
Awfull route single track farm down side of fields, riding threw the suburbs back alleys, what's with the walk way? Looked like a railway station, should be interesting with a bunch of cyclists fighting for space.
After seeing USA - Gran Prix gravel races i can only say, that's a bullshit course LOOOOOOOOOOL !!! That's no gravel at all ... Paris - Roubaix has worst paths :D
When Mathieu shows up without legwarms in this weather you know you’re gonna be in for a ride😂.
It isn't cold
'We were riding in zone MVDP' 😂 Best of luck this sunday Cam!
Mate, your Dutch is hella impressive! Best of luck on Sunday 🚀
That wasn't Dutch, it was aberdeens
@@davemoss6976tis zeker Nederlands
@@davemoss6976 what are you talking about? I'm Belgian, this guy was clearly speaking Dutch
Loved the scenery. Brings back memories from the trip to Belgium. Best of success to you!
Nice to see you try and speak dutch. It was pretty solid keep it up and have a blast at it sunday.
Your Dutch is great! You also seem to do well with typical Dutch sarcasm! 😂 Good luck this weekend!
Glad to see you where you deserve, with big names around you in a great team. Good luck, man!

Sweet preview!
Anyone else notice the guy on the left's chain seems short based on the rear derailleur's angle at min 2:56?
Your dutch is very good Cam, RESPECT!! Good luck for the race!!!!!
Mate your Dutch is impressive!! Keep it up!
hello keikers...for a second I was having Puck flashbacks
Very sad that almost none of the Worlds Gravel Elite is showing up -
just another UCI race on wider tires :-)
Smash it tomorrow bro, don't be stressing enjoy it ❤ watch for the early break on the climb good luck fella
good luck for Sunday, take pressure and appreciate to ride the words with the best rider !
You guys passed us on a descent near Leuven. Good luck on Sunday!
Best of luck Cameron! 👏👏
Looks like a fast course. All the best.
Great video, very good technical production and interesting course.
Could you make a 2h version for my indoor training session ? xD
proud dutchie
Belg
Really love the camera angle!
where have you placed the camera?
Great video. Good luck Sunday
What pressure were you riding on the 37mm tyres ? Thx and good luck.
2.1/2.2 bar
I probably played the game rebellion for 1000+ hrs when it came out lol good memories
31 average Speed🤯Good luck , mate!!
How are you filming?
THE DUTCH IS FIRE
you speak really good dutch!
Nice video! What size do you use for the Grail?
Good luck!!
Thanks
The Terreno Dry is faster than the Terreno Zero, FYI.
You’re telling me this NOW?? 😩
The Dutch at the beging through me of. Was fun to hear tho👍
what bikes you guys decided to ride? they look like endurance or utlimate, rather than grail?
Mvdp rides special painted grail.
The Alpecin guys are riding the grail. I’ll be on my Stevens Camino
It doesn't look overly gnarly for a Gravel race, (and I doubt the hard core Gravel-istas would approve) but as ever it might produce a decent race.
Tás numa boa equipa, boa prova no gravel😊
Nice video, Cam. Who wears the Belgian national kit on the team?
Sente Sentjens, U23 champion
Gianni Vermeersch is reigning belgian champion gravel, so I think it's him...
@@julianallen515 It was Gianni Vermeersch, he is belgian champ gravel.
Nice man, go smash it sunday!
I love riding on gravel.
This guy's Dutch is 👌
I GASPED WHEN YOU STARTED SPEAKING DUTCH HAHAHAHAHA!!!
Zone MvdP, that sounds painful!
Good luck, Laddie.
I think your Dutch is already a bit better than Tom's! Super goed gedaan man!
Hey Cam. Which Canyon model will you choose for the worlds?
I am riding my Stevens Camino. The Alpecin guys are on the Grail
@@cameronmason Thx, man. Good to see you back on track. Suc6 voor de Veldritseizoen!💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Looks just about road bike able without any mud involved.
Young Belgian pushing the pace. Not sure American racers would be competitive here.
as usual, awesome music)
Mooi gesproken!
😂.. Yo your Dutch is hartstikke goed man. 👍🏾
For me, the gravel world champ is the person who wins (won) Unbound
No cross world champions have ever won the famous 3 Peaks CX or the other way around either. Horses for courses.
yo kijkers🤠
Good luck fella
j'adore
Why is there no gravel ?
Strade has much more GRAVEL than every Worlds (sadly)
This is the Bike Path World Championships.
Did you even watch the video? Also, surface aside, this is likely to be the most technical gravel race in the world, at least at pro men's speed.

Hey, did you change teams fro 777 to Alpecin?
Alpecin on the road, 777 on the dirt.
@@Ksen-pg7se aaah, this is always so confusing wit all these satellite teams of Alpecine.

I feel for MVDP having to wear that dreadful denim kit. Was hoping he could take the rainbow again.
He can't wear the rainbow jersey here even if he had won in the road championship against pogi ...you need to be the gravel world champion to wear the rainbow jersey in a gravel recon or a race
even OZEMPIK didn´t help
good luck!
I'm going to watch out for you on Sunday on Eurosport (best channel evar, BTW!).
Good luck! :)
Go Cammy ❤❤❤
Good luck
Je Nederlands is echt wel ok!
Spicy 🌶
Terreno zeros are slow as treacle.
100% Dutchie confirmed!
Course looks amazing. Enjoy 👌
At least 40’s… don’t under tire bro.😅
Nederlands klink al lekker gappie!🎉😊
Cool video! Who is the guy in the Belgian champions jersey?
Sente Sentjens, U23 champion
