The expectations were high, as several riders spent long weeks at the last Crankworkc, so we expected a great athletic performance.

This fun course, at almost four minutes, is one of the longest course in the region if we think about the high speed (65-70km/hr)

Generally, at any race, after a crash, the riders often say “it’s all or nothing”.

Gustavo Ortiz had a great result, with a win in the junior category, and also was 4th in the overall results.

In the women's Elite, and after a month at Whistler, Andrea Farias had a great performance in Canada, which was reflected in her first place.
