Canada Cup #1 Race Report


Local Ride Elite Women's MTB Team is off to a good start in the Canada Cup Series. Sandra finished in 3rd today in Canada Cup #1 in Baie Saint Paul QC, with Jean Ann following in 4th. The two were part of the initial lead group that gained a gap on the field from the start of the race, with Jean Ann and Catherine Vipond (Norco) setting a fast pace from the start. It was Mikaela Kofman (Can) 3 Rox Racing who took the eventual win over Aleksandra Mooradian (Pol) K.Bedford/Verge/Spin. Sandra was close behind in 3rd, followed by Jean Ann in 4th.

The course consisted of a short 5km lap, with an abundance of rooty rocky singletrack and punchy climbs. It was spectator friendly, technical, and incredibly fun to race. Congratulations Sandra, on the first Canada Cup podium of the year!
