Bromont round opens Canada Cup season
|
At the opening round of the Canada Cup in Bromont, Quebec, young U23 racers won both the men's and women's cross country events. Racers tackled a relatively dry and dusty 4.3km course, partially the same as for the upcoming World Cup set for early August. Organizers have promised that the cross country will be twice as long in August, but late snows prevented clearing all the trail in time for this weekend.
Emily Batty (Trek Bicycle Store Team) took top honors in the women's race ahead of Amanda Sin (3 Rox Racing) and Jean Ann McKirdy (Rocky Mountain/Pro-Cycle). In the elite men's race, Raphaël Gagné (Rocky Mountain) won with Derek Zandstra (3 Rox Racing) in second and Eric Batty (Trek Store Canada) in third.
In the downhill, top honors went to Micayla Gatto (Commencal/Marzocchi) who won the elite women's race ahead of Danice Uyesugi (pinkbike.com) and Kim Huard (Ind). Geritt Beytagh (Morewoodbikes USA) was the fastest man although the fastest Canadian man was second placed Steve Smith (Cove Factory). Despite crashing over his bars during his run, Smith will be the one to wear the Canada Cup leaders' jersey. Charles-Alexandre Dubé (Intersport/DHRacer) finished third.
The downhill course included some long swooping berms, a section along the fall line through the trees, a granite face, a man-made section of patio rocks and a hard pedal to the finish.
