2 Late Season Additions!

The team is excited to announce 2 additions to their development program. With injuries to 4 of our racers this season, the team looks to add a few podiums to advance in the provincial overall.

Adam Finlayson, 1st place O-Cup #5 (7th in Pro)

Adam Finlayson and Matt Berenz are sitting 1st and 3rd in the Senior Expert provincial overall. They have each won a race and are no strangers to the podium. They are poised to make the step into the Pro/ Elite ranks for 2010.

The team looks forward to having a full roster for Provincial Championships in September. Our 3 injured athletes are working hard to get back to race form!

See you at the races!

OCup #5- Blue Mountain Resort

The provincial series returned to the popular Blue Mountain resort for the Super D Provincial Championships and round 5 of DH series. The venue has a great atmosphere, a busy village made for big crowds and a resort made for a great race track.

The race course was over 3 minutes long; tight wooded sections mixed in with a fair bit of pedalling would prove to be a physically demanding task for racers.

Tom K, race run.

Tom chose to participate in 3 events this weekend putting his fitness up to the test in preparation for Nationals next weekend. Tom placed 3rd in the long and grueling Provincial Championship Super D race on Saturday. He went onto place 2nd in the hardtail category in Sundays DH race. Looking to step onto all 3 podiums, Tom had no energy left in his legs for the main event. Tom finished 6th in the Pro DH and slipped back into 4th in the Provincial overall ranking after a physically demanding showing from him this weekend.

Alistair has been on his game after training in Bromont for 2 weeks mid season. He crashed hard and fast in his race run but managed to get back on the bike to finish in 3rd. Incredibly he was 2 seconds behind the winner. Alistair remains in 2nd in the junior provincial ranking, but has closed the gap with his biggest competitor, now only 3 points ahead. A spot on the provincial team and a mid winter trip to the US is looking more like a reality for Alistair.

These 2 athletes are off to the National Championships in Northern Quebec this weekend to put themselves up against the best in the country.

Bromont Canada Cup

Bromont Canada Cup DH #2/ 4x National Champs

The infamous Bromont Cycling Center played host to Canada’s second National DH round and the 4x National Championship this past weekend in Québec. Last years WC tracks were used allowing the trail crew to re-enforce them with cement and wood wherever necessary. Unfortunately the torrential rain resulted in massive holes and made it tough for the best to make it down without a crash.

The team training together from the top

With the World Cup just weeks away, a couple WC regulars were in town to preview the track. To no ones surprise it was Sam Hill (Monster Energy-Specialized) who took the win with a blistering time of 2:41.666, followed by fellow Aussie Mitchell Delfs (Kenda- Morewood) 2:50.452, American Neko Mullaly (Specialized/ Team America) 2.55.452, Quebec’s own Yann Gauvin (Eprezo/ Impact Design) 2:59.965 and Ontarian Rob Fraser (Primary-Trek) 3:01.086. The track conditions claimed many riders as roughly 1-in-3 managed to get down without a crash. Canadian National Champion Andrew Mitchell (Sombrio-Devinci) sent himself to the hospital with a broken foot.

It was 50/50 for Silent Devinci Racing. Kyle dislocated his shoulder having to roll down the rest of the hill and Alistair sent himself over the bars managing to get back up for 17th /38 in Junior Expert (61st/120 with the Elites). Tom managed to hold on for 38th and Nick Kesik squeezed into 9th /38 for a top 10 in Cadet.

The boys are back at it again next weekend for the 5th round of the provincial circuit at Blue Mountain Resort.

Camp Fortune- Ontario Cup #4

The much anticipated Camp Fortune venue did not disappoint. The track was fast and rough with some big lines making for some excellent racing. The elite field was 30 riders deep as many Quebec riders chose to participate in anticipation of September's Ontario/ Quebec challenge.



In another Primary-Trek 1-2, veteran Pete Mclean edged out youngun Dean Tennant for the win. They were followed by fan favourite Justin Brown (Cycle Solutions). Silent Devinci's Tom finished in 10th moving him into the 2nd spot in the overall for now. Kyle finished a respectable 13th with a crash right near the finish line.



Alistair continues his spectacular season with another 2nd place finish behind a speedy frenchmen. Alistair closes the gap with series leader Brad Zdriluk who crashed in his run.


Nick Kesik finished in 6th and maintains second place in the provincial overall.

The team currently holds the 2nd position in the provincial overall in Cadet, Junior Expert and Elite!

The boys go directly to Bromont, QC for the 2nd National round next weekend.
