Mont Sainte Anne, Canada
The World Cup circus took a four week break from racing after the World Champs which were held in Italy. Many riders headed home for a much needed break. It was great to make the trip back home and prepare for the fourth round of the UCI World Cup Series in Mont Sainte Anne, Canada. The race is a favorite for many riders as its a true test of downhill with a + 4min 30 sec track. It has a great mixture of fast open sections on the ski slopes and tight rocky rooty sections in the woods. It had been raining a fair bit and the course was very wet and muddy. Practice was very tricky with deep ruts forming in the open muddy bits.
