Canada Cup #2 - Mont Tremblant QC


Canada Cup #2 was a very close and competitive race, with the addition of Mical Dyck to the start line and the full contingent of racers from last weekend. The start was fast, with Mical unleashing the World Cup start and instantly getting a gap off of the line. Sandra towed the line and took lead the group up into the single track. For the majority of the race Mikaela Kofman, the current Canada Cup leader, trailed Mical, with Jean Ann close behind her, followed by Aleksandra Mooradian of Poland, and then Sandra and Catherine. On the last lap of the race there were some big changes though. Catherine worked her way through the field, and her and Aleksandra joined Mikaela and Jean Ann at the base of the climb. Catherine attacked halfway up the open climb, and no one could follow. She then caught Mical at the top of the final climb. Mical flatted at the bottom of the descent, pitted and got a new wheel. By that time Catherine was gone, and rode in for the win, Mical held off Aleksandra for second, Mikaela was 4th, and Jean Ann and Sandra placed 5th and 6th in a very close race.
