Squamish also had strong showings in the U17 male division, with Nick Kleban placing second and Hunter Verner finishing third.聽
Fresh off a strong showing at the Test of Metal, Holden Jones double-flatted and was unable to complete the race.
All six riders were heading to Quebec on Wednesday, July 8 for Canada Cup race number four and the Canadian Nationals as a part of the Cycling 小蓝视频 team. Team Squamish coach Mike Charuk thanked all the sponsors for their support with the trip, especially Nesters Market, which donated bars and gels for the trip.聽
The next day was the 小蓝视频 Cup downhill provincials, and again, Squamish had a solid day.
