Finn Iles flew to an incredible second place finish at the first World Cup of 2022 on Sunday. The result is the Canadian national champion’s best-ever as an elite rider.

Iles’ podium also capped off an incredible day for Canada’s downhill squad. Hours earlier, reigning world champion Jackson Goldstone and second-year junior Gracey Hemstreet won the junior men’s and junior women’s races in Lourdes.

With three World Cup podiums – including two wins – Sunday could be the best single day for downhill in Canada since Stevie Smith won the World Cup overall title.
