Mont Tremblant Canada Cup
Report from Ford-Devinci's Mat Toulouse.
Scorching hot weather, a very technical course and a pretty stacked field made for a good race in Tremblant this weekend for the second Canada Cup cross-country. The weatherman was calling for rain on Saturday, which would have brought the temperature down, but it didn't come. In above 30C temperature, the race got under way at a blistering pace. Andreas Hestler set the pace early on, getting the holeshot into the singletrack and making me hurt more than I would have liked so early in the race. A group formed quickly at the front with the usual suspects: Hestler, Geoff Kabush, Chad Miles, Peter Wedge, Eric Tourville and myself. Hestler's legs didn't seem like they were ready for what his brain was asking them to do however, and Kabush and Miles made their way to the front pretty quick. I was having a rough go myself and felt like I was hurting a whole lot just to hold on to Wedge's wheel. Tourville eventually moved up and started chasing the lead duo. Kabush was definetely riding within himself and held on to take the win. Chad chased hard and got in for second, followed closely by Tourville. Wedge was fourth. Me and Dre had a little "almost sprint" finish, where I tried to come up on him and pass him at the very end but he still got me by a handful of seconds.
In the women's race my Ford Devinci teammate Trish Sinclair made up for my disappointing result and won. Marie-Hélène Prémont was second, her race marred by bike problems.
À la prochaine fois...
