Canada Cup and BC Cup DH Races at Panorama
Canada Cup Champions
One hundred and ninety two entries ranged from first time “Citizen” category racers to last weekend’s Canadian DH Mountain Bike Champion Andrew Mitchell, who competed in the “Elite” category.
Rob Fraser of Pickering, ON won the Canada Cup “Men’s” category. Fraser had the fastest time of the day at 03:24.60 on a course he described as rough and physical.
“It was a good length and wicked track,” he said. “I feel like I made it up in the middle rock garden.”
The Canada Cup Women’s category went to Lauren Rosser of Squamish, B.C. with a time of 03:51.67. She also won the Canadian DH Mountain Bike Championship at Panorama last weekend.
“The World Cup will be my last race this season,” she said. “These two wins will give me the points I need to get there and give me the confidence to know I can do really well at Worlds.”
Thanks to all racers, volunteers and supporters for an amazing DH racing season at Panorama!
