Cycles Performance DH Team - May

Jun 5, 2016 at 11:13
by Simon Ayotte  
As always, Tremblant classic course was opening the season. Everybody was stoked to get riding again together and the weather was on our side.
It was great to see Max Giguère racing again after a 2 year hiatus (because of a broken back) take the 2nd step in the Senior Expert category within 0.2 second of the first place. Hugo Langevin winter training showed! He took the big W with a blistering run. Good weekend for our junior new comer also, Liam Rourke, who took the fifth spot.

Pro GRT

In the same weekend as the first B-Maaxx, Hugo decided to cross the border for the first Pro GRT. He managed to qualify 6th alongside world cup regulars. Unfortunately he had a flat in his race run.

That's it for May! No races are scheduled for June, so we will be riding at Bromont everyday we can or crossing borders to the states (or Ontario) for some racing action.
