World Cup #4 Cross Country (WC)
Grouse Mountain, Canada , July 6, 2002
The Downhill and 4/cross racers were cancelled due to snow.
Meirhaeghe makes it two for two.
By Anna-Lisa Parsons (NZMBA)
At the end of the 1st lap, Canada's Roland Green was leading the race with Belguim's Filip Meirhaeghe.
The lead bunch remained consistent for laps 2 and 3 with Meirhaeghe leading Canada's Roland Green, France's Christophe Dupouey, Netherland's Bart Brentjens, Sauser, Bui and Leuchs. At the end of lap 3, Sauser had moved to fourth with Kashi sitting on 6th, 1min 15 secs behind the leaders. And it started to rain.
By the end of lap four Sauser had pushed hard to snatch 2nd and close the leaders gap to 25 seconds. Heading into the last lap, Leuchs still sitting at 6th with 2:15 to catch up.
By the finish, Meirhaeghe made it 2 for 2 by winning the race, with Sauser, last year's winner at the same course, coming second. Bart Brentjens took the third spot, while Leuchs overtook Dupouey to grab fourth. Green blew up on the last lap, and came in 6th.
