Cameron Wurf (born 3 August 1983) is an Australian professional triathlete and road cyclist, who last rode for the Cannondale team.[1]
Before becoming a professional road cyclist, Wurf was an Olympic lightweight rower and represented Australia at the 2004 Olympics in the men's lightweight double scull.[2]
Wurf left the Champion System team at the end of the 2012 season – having joined the squad at the start of the season[3] – and joined Cannondale for the 2013 season.[1]
In February 2015, after finishing third in the time trial at the 2015 Oceania Road Championships, Wurf announced that he would take a year out from his professional cycling career, explaining that he felt he had not found his niche in the sport.[4] During his time off Wurf competed in triathlon, finishing ninth overall and winning the 30-34 age group on his Ironman debut at Whistler in July 2015.[5] Wurf made his professional triathlon debut at the Ironman Asia-Pacific Championships in Cairns in June 2016.[6]
