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.
