ALPE D'ZWIFT RACE WITH THE VEGAN CYCLIST *insane* | Ep 57 

DOOOODE! What an amazing event! To be clear here, to have any chance at beating Cam I had to do my best 40min power I have ever done...EVER! I really didnt think I had that effort in me, and there was a 99% chance Cam was gonna smash me. Plus, with some confusion at the start, Cam had to burn a match or two to stay at the front which i did not, then he waited for me like a tru gentleman. PLUS I had the TRON bike....which very much could have been the difference. /// So everything went my way and I BARELY got him. The re-match is gonna be FIRE!!! Im thinking a full on 100k race with climbs, flats, and descents. Cam, you are true sportsman and one handsome mofo. - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_5Ls58RTX3M.html

Yo! Just want to take a minute to say thank you, from the bottom of my heart. Last night we created history. We set up and hosted one of the largest unsupported and UNSPONSORED indoor cycling event in the world. Truly truly humbled, we rallied together and showed up as a fucking army. I wear my heart on my sleeve, and yeah we lost this fight. But this is a war, I’ll be back.

Great video, man. Loved the friendly competition. Can’t wait for the rematch.

This has a Mcgregor Diaz rematch all over...

You guys broke the cycling internet yesterday. First of many of these hopefully to come. Thank you guys both for putting it together. I never thought I would be like a kid in a candy store, flushing through as many social media outlets just to not miss a thing. Haha!! You guys are both inspirational, absolutely dominant riders and you guys both are working hard to put up good content. Keep it up, till next time!

Exceptional event the two of you put on. Goes to show only the surface has been scratched of what is capable in eSports. It's totally understandable that you jumped out with the lead group, as that is the norm in Zwift events, but obviously, there was a "gentleman's agreement" for a neutralized start. It's quite likely had you come in rested and not been shot out of a cannon, you would have won this. Nonetheless, both you and Tyler are excellent ambassadors for Zwift and cycling, in general. Thanks for helping create more community in cycling.

Massive effort. No shame in losing to the vegan. He is a monster despite the way he talks down his lack of training he is at pro or neo pro levels

Great effort guys. Next time standardize equipment - bike, wheels, start/finish etc. Look forward to it.

Thanks for posting your effort, having watched both streams, its amazing how close you two are matched....it made for an epic race (Impossible to pick a winner until after the last corner!). Awesome to open this up to everyone else who wanted to ride too no matter who they were supporting.

It was amazing. All can say is: >>>>

So much respect. 95% of people would never put themselves on the line like this, especially people with the amount of following you have. Competing, and possibly losing even if you're "suppose" to win is ALWAYS a way more impressive feat than not competing.

Just compare the Powergraph from you and VC, he was like 40 Minutes full in Z4/5/6.. he went so much deeper. Get a little bit of a tapering next time and i'm pretty sure you'll win

Rematch on real road 😉

The stars aligned for the Vegan on this one. He deserved his win but he did need the aid of all the tricks in his Zwift armoury. Next time will be different 4 sure. Stick to the Alp climb format,it’s epic.

Well done Cam great effort, so humble in defeat, that's a real champion. Looking forward to the next one!!!

Yeeeee bruh! It's all good. You're still a motivation to all! 🙏

In ideal circumstances Cam should always win, he has more power and competes at a higher level. But Tyler tapered (instead of a hard session the day before) and in this instance suffered deeper, and it was still close. He deserved this win fully, and we got the best outcome we can all hope for, a close fight and an unlikely victory for the bravest :) Instead of Cam just slowly riding away after half a climb, If you want to see boring rubbish like that you can watch the tour and team sky.

Great ride Cam. I was suffering down in 400th!

Awesome work mate. Making history up in here.

Makes me wish i had Zwift!

A little known fact: Corner 4 on Alpe D’Huez is where Walt Disney proposed to his wife, while they were there doing research on the effects of Nutella on the taste of Pasta. That test was not successful, so Mr Disney called a halt to his dream of being a culinary artist, and got into drawing cartoons instead* * This Fact is completely untrue.

Lets start a gofundme for Tyler and fam to come over and be a super domestique for Cam at the Tour of Ulster and guest rider for Saint Piran.

Well done Cam. Shame their was a bit of miscommunication causing you to do a bigger effort before the climb started. Looking forward to the rematch.

Funny enough, the only 2 RU-vid cycling channels I subscribe to. Both good genuine dudes !

That was a great effort man! To be fair, VC said he tapered a bit for the event while you were out crashing your bike :P I bet the rematch will be super exciting since I have a feeling you will come after it even harder and maybe with a more specific training plan and tapering. Still great job dude, was super fun to watch!

Your coach got a good lesson in humility there. You, on the other hand were a total professional..even in defeat

Congratulations Cam on your effort after a 3 hr peak effort the day before - keep up your consistent training - push the pedal to the floor and you'll be rewarded with winning results in the New Year!

Zwift, Cameron and Tyler (VC) took your platform to a whole new level of entertainment. Great job guys, really enjoyed watching!

Im a fan of both of you, and I think VC is a monster from his latest gran fondo, BUT I also think you're the stronger rider for multiple reasons but im gonna keep this comment short =)

New drinking game: Take a shot every time Tim says ‘don’t go mad’

Forget Zwift, get a real race on in the summer, that would be epic. You could even do a home and away: VC in the lake district, Cam in CA. Love the concept of youtuber racing tho!

My daughter loves the outro song...who sings it...every morning when I watch your vlog she starts singing the song when she hears your voice...lol

Hey Cameron, what's your approach to servicing your KickR ? Have you had it repaired, had the clicking issues ... what fixed it if so? Thanks. HBQC.

this was huge for the cycling community and Zwift. massive effort for both and thanks for sharing. i need to join one of these.

Good effort, amazing work well done, great video thanks both, in new to zwift cycling from March 2023, now on level 10.

You guys need a rematch!!!, now's the perfect time. Give the people what they want. Go from the gun!!!

I would sooo much like to see that top 50 do the real Alpe du Huez.

That's cheating; you need to weigh yourself right before the ride. I gain between 3 and 4 kg between morning and the start of my evening ride. Also, impressive effort.

Great effort. Rematch on equal bikes next time. Tyler seemed to suffer more if that's any consolation.

excellent effort man! great entertainment

Just out of interest, do you have your training set to maximum difficulty on Zwift, i.e. 100%?

You kidding!!! You did super well!!! And a great race was accomplished between both of you!!!!! Don't get down on yourself, you are an excellent rider!!!

Best thing happened on zwift since its inception. Needs a rematch.

Fantastic effort Cam, as VC said look forward to a rematch with no confusion at the start and equal bikes!! Great show and showmanship 👍🏻

I'm American and was rooting for you actually! Awesome ride man, hoping you could beat the Californian. Eat a steak and drink a beer!

It’s all those bananas. I think I’d hate having a coach tell me to work harder when I was spent! You just had no sprint - fair after that

oh shit, beat by daddy the vegan. maybe its time to have family. less time on the looks like it equals to more sustained watts. just kidding. great work there

Cam For The Win in the re-match! ROCKY II style!

Great effort and attitude! You earned a new subscriber. 👍🇺🇸

Great effort Cam! You are a leader ushering in a new era of cycling!

wtf, both they are jogling like wtf?

He didn’t win fair and square you had to wait for him

Well done. Also, a fair and humble racer.

plant based for win!

But what if he didn't wait for VC on the bridge :thinking: #WaitGate

Sportsmanship A+ Good to see these days.

At 2:04 anyone else see the snot coming out 😂

Ed Laverack playing the Froome 2012 TDF role.👏👏👏🐐

Nice one Cam. Definitely should match the kits your riding next time.

did the rematch ever happen?

The Vegan As Won

Definitely need a rematch now with everything going on and people at home!

You should not eat a steak.

I’m late to this one I know. But that was fantastic. I got so caught up in the race and motivated by your mates encouraging you that I just blew my Sweet Spot interval on the turbo. lol. Great stuff. E-sports definitely has a future. Really well made video. Great race by both guys. Cheers.

Brilliant nights zwift racing 👍👍👍 you must organise another event... maybe a league table for the vloggers 💰💰💰🚵🏽‍♀️🚵🏽‍♀️🚵🏽‍♀️🚵🏽‍♀️ proper mayhem buzz last night , smashed 3mins of alpe du zwift 🤪 big thanks again cheers cam

Unlucky Cam, had you been pushing 200W before the climb like VC it would've been different. Mad respect.

amazing !!!!!! good job

Ouhhh yeah!!

Cameron's you've been beat twice now...hmm - you needs some proper prep. on these things ! Cameron stop blasting yourself prior to the things, no critical vibe just friendly advice matey. 3hrs, then an hour in freezing - not really!, take care of yourself more 👌

Bro, you look so lean. Mind sharing how tall are you and how much you weight? I am guessing less than 7%bf. #VeinsonBiceps

Too much messing about and chit chat during the early stages coupled with too hard an effort the day before imho. My advice would be to make the challenge alone without running commentary from buddies. Better luck next time!

Do a race 2 pleaseee

That was a pretty fun race to watch. Didn't thought I would be so caught on. Ended up watching live on youtube and Instagram live plus the vc video + yours... Really fun. Thanks a lot for this cool entertainment

sooooo much red omg

Cameron - Where did you get the Cornish Castelli Jersey??? Thats awesome!

Fair play to you

You want the next one Vegan cyclist Laurence yourself and Francis Cade

How is your breathing so calm? I'd be huffing and puffing all the way

They are great sportsmans. It s two diferent styles of riding . VC is riding hills and have enspiriance. CJ is young and his time is comming.

Yo Cam, love the videos. What camera do you use while vlogging outside on your bike?

@Cam, you did agree to shave your head and turn vegan for a month if Taylor won. :)

A rematch would be cool over like 100km...but Team Cam v Team VC

Was great to watch your both good guys and this is only the start!!! Bring it home for the UK on the next one!!! 🇬🇧

Cam that was unreal and tbf u probs shouldn't of done the 3 hour threshold ride the day before haha

Good show. PS Yeah, a 3-hr Threshold effort the day prior was probably not the best race prep.

Love the cross over between two awesome channels. Well done.

cam remach

Awesome effort buy two top notch athletes and gentlemen. Well done to both of you! Great role models for the sport!

Ali vs. Frazier.

Well done, seems to be evenly matched. Great fun to watch.

Freakin awesome video Can’t wait for the rematch

nice race, watched both videos. Different perspectives. Thumbs up.

Congrats Cam I enjoyed sitting next to you in a virtual world for 20 mins (the warmup😂) The rematch should be in the real world where weight is the exact and power doesn’t cut out 💪💪 Loved watching and racing in this race and hopefully you do it again sometime soon

Good vid and great idea to organise à zwift race

Great vid and time well spent. Looking forward to the rematch. This is innovation at its finest and I look forward to more taking to this method of competitng. 😎🤙🏽 Great job anyhow.

"Literally unbelievable" - I do not think it means what you think it means...

0:28 Woulda been 72.8 without the PJs #weightInLikeMMA

Great video! Great music! Track ID? 😎

Looking forward to seeing the rematch!
