Ryan Kamp's cyclocross season has been anything but smooth, and the Superprestige Ruddervoorde added another challenge. After a heavy crash at the start of the men's race, Kamp was forced to abandon early and was taken to the hospital for examination. Fortunately, the Fenix rider later confirmed via Instagram that he hadn’t sustained any fractures or serious injuries.
"I just got out of the hospital, and luckily the results were good. No major injuries or fractures," Kamp shared on Sunday evening on Instagram. He also expressed regret for the riders who were caught up in the crash with him. "I don’t know who fell with me, but I hope you're all okay!" Kamp thanked everyone who sent him supportive messages and added, "Now it’s time to let the body recover. Hopefully, I’ll be back on the bike soon."
Kamp’s season has gotten off to a tough start. Just last week, a heated incident with Eli Iserbyt during the first race of the season escalated into controversy. After Kamp’s contact with Iserbyt, the latter kicked Kamp’s wheel, resulting in Iserbyt's suspension. The drama overshadowed the race, leaving Kamp with a difficult recovery.
In the Exact Cross Essen, Kamp faced mechanical issues and could only manage a 16th-place finish. Despite the rocky start, Kamp is hopeful for a swift return to racing form, eager to put these setbacks behind him as the season continues.

- That 3000 extra that the Tour de France is built up in the flat stages

- his Roubaix win was amazing. not to take anything away from him - arguably one of MVDP's wins was at the expense of a WVA flat - but so many things need to line up to get one of these. He had a perfect race with fewer bike issues on an attritional course. And crazy strong as usual. Glad he got this done.mij04-11-2026

- A mindset that reminds me of Tim Declerq. I loved watching that guy just pound away the kilometers, hours at the front, holding an entire breakaway in check on his own. Bjerg seems like a similar guy. Curling, the team sport.RidesHills04-11-2026
- He will be lol, but he can still win on the climbs hahaawp04-11-2026
- I would love to have his inconsistency. How many wins this year? 2 TdF stages, a WC, a Euro championship, San Sebastian, multiple wins early year. Monument podiums. I'd take it. I don't think he has a chance in the TdF, but he is still amazing.mij04-11-2026
- He's not going to win the TdF. Maybe if they make every single stage a TT he could win. But I still believe Tadej would just sharpen his TT skills and win.mij04-11-2026
