The MS Mondraker team in MSA.
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose- this is how racing is and this time we have lost. the 6th round of the 2018 UCI mountain bike world cup in Mont Sainte Anne/ Canada was a huge setback for the MS Mondraker team.
Laurie could not start because of a bad ankle from a smaller crash on the day before, Mike hasn’t had a good run, but also a flat tire and Brook crashed in his race run with in reach of the top split times, got back on the bike and had a flat tire as well.
A DNS dropped Laurie from 3rd to 6th position in the overall. Brook finished in 53rd and dropped one position in the overall from 6th to 7th place. Mike finished in 27th and dropped 1 position in the overall.
The only real highlight for us this weekend is the 4th place of Pat Butler I the juniors race. That got him from 9th to 6th place in the junior world cup overall ranking.
Obviously we are not happy with this and we came to Mont Saint Anne to do better, but this is how racing is: sometimes you win and sometimes you lose- we are not desperate but looking forward to the next round to fight back! Stay tuned for the next round, which is the season final in La Bresse/ France.
