In breaking news the Video of the Week doubles as a celebration of Cameron Meyer’s cycling career to date.
In a press release from the Dimension Data barracks it states that Australian Cameron Meyer requested an immediate termination of his two-year contract that began at the start of the year, mentioning personal reasons behind his early departure from the African team.
“Unfortunately I have made the tough decision to leave Team Dimension Data for Qhubeka, due to ongoing personal issues I have had of recent. I have been unable to train or race at the required level that is needed for the World Tour”, Said Meyer.
“I can not thank Douglas Ryder enough for giving me the opportunity to be a part of such an amazing program. To be able to see at first hand the impact the team makes in Africa through the Qhubeka Foundation and for me to have involvement was truly inspiring.”
“I wish the entire team the best of luck and look forward to watching their many successes to come.”
The team wished Meyer all the best in his future.
28-year-old Meyer has had an illustrious career so far, with seven pro wins under his belt including a previous Herald Sun Tour and a Santos Tour Down Under win plus two stages of the Tour de Suisse.
He is also an accomplished track cyclists as seen here during the 2012 UCI Track Cycling World Championships where he won the mens point race for a third time, coming from 6th position to 1st by lapping the field in the dying moments of the race.
