Canada’s juniors had a second chance at US Cup racing on Friday in Fayetteville. This time in Short Track XC. As with Thursday’s XCO, the Canuck’s took full advantage and landed several podium finishes in the short, 20-minute race format.
Junior women
As the junior women’s short track started, Isabella Holmgren (Stimulus Orbea) found herself alone in a front group of six, surrounded by five athletes all from the Bear National team out of California. Isabella’s sister, Ava Holmgren, chased hard going out onto the bell lap, connecting with the front group halfway through that final lap.
Bailey Cioppa (Bear National) didn’t seem too fatigued from winning Thursday’s junior women’s XCO, escaping the lead group to win Friday’s junior women’s XCC.
Isabella Holmgren crossed the line second. Ava Holmgren somehow worked her way through all the Bear National riders to sprint for third and join her sister on the XCC podium.

Junior men
Four Canadians finished in the top 10 of Friday’s junior men’s Short Track race. Jack Spranger and Cayden Parker of Bear National Team repeated their 1-2 finish from Thursday’s XCO. The two tangled bars in the sprint, nearly crashing on the line, with the decision coming down to a photo.
Two seconds behind, Simon Ruelland (Equipe du Quebec/Sigma) and Ian Ackert (Stimulus Orbea) sprinted for third and fourth, respectively.
Zorak Paillé (Team PG) in sixth and Maxime St.-Onge (Equipe du Quebec/Siboire) in ninth made for a very Canadian top-10 at the US Cup.
Under-17 Men
Canada’s Jacob Roy (Ponsse) finished second behind David Thompson (Hot Tubes Devo) in the under-17 men’s short track XC race. Miles Mattern (Cannondale p/b Cyclocrossworld.com) crossed the line third.
Friday’s racing continues with the elite XCC events, which you can watch live on FloBikes. Saturday is the big day for juniors, with the UCI series XCO event. Again, live on FloBikes, giving fans at home a rare chance to watch Canada’s youth race.
