He also claimed a silver medal in the junior world championships in the pursuit.

On the road as well, Camille has already made a habit of raising his arms in victory. The specialists first took notice of him during the 2024 French Junior Championships in Altkirch, Alsace, where he triumphed in both the mixed relayand the road race. The young rider took the win ahead of two of his friends and fellow rising stars of French cycling Rémi Daumas and Paul Seixas. “I’m a rider with a puncheur–rouleur profile,” Camille explains. “I like to keep all possibilities open, both on the road and on the track. And I know I still have plenty of room for improvement.” To support his development, Camille will be able to rely on the full ecosystem and professionalism of Team Cofidis. Under his new colors, he will discover racing at the highest international level and will do everything he can to continue his irresistible rise.

I know the step up will be a big one, but I can’t wait to discover the top level, to improve, and to make the jersey shine.I’ve been lucky to grow within a club (VC Villefranche Beaujolais) where relationships and communication with riders are really valued. In talking with Raphaël Jeune, I quickly understood that there’s a genuine desire to help me perform in the best possible conditions. It’s an exciting project, and I’m really looking forward to starting this new adventure!”

Raphaël Jeune, General Manager: “It’s with great pleasure and enthusiasm that we’ll welcome Camille from next season onwards. He has already shown that he’s one of the brightest prospects in French cycling.
