Times are tight for downhill qualifying on a fast course the Lenzerheide World Cup. A solid group of 13 Canadians are through to Saturday’s finals, with a couple riders just missing out.
Elite men and women
Hot off her world championship win in Val di Sole, Myriam Nicole (Commencal Muc-Off) set the fastest time again in elite women’s qualifying on Friday. Nicole put 4.6 seconds into Tahnee Seagrave (Canyon Collective FMD) and Vali Holl (RockShox Trek). Canada’s Jennifer McHugh was 25th in qualifying, so misses out on Saturday’s final.
In the elite men’s race, Loris Vergier (Trek Factory Racing) leads ahead of a resurgent Amaury Pierron (Commencal Muc-Off). Danny Hart (Cube Factory) was third, 1.851 seconds back. Time get tight from there down, with the top 52 men all within 10 seconds of Vergier’s time.
Finn Iles leads the Canadian elite qualifiers in ninth, 3.240 seconds back. Mark Wallace (Canyon) was close behind in 20th. Seth Sherlock (Intense Factory Racing) qualified 46th, adding a third Canuck to Saturday’s elite finals. Henry Fitzgerald (Norco Factory Racing) was 62nd in qualifying, missing finals by an agonizing 0.087 seconds.
Junior men and women
Gracey Hemstreet continued her fast results, seeding third in junior women behind world champion Izabela Yankova of Bulgaria and Kine Haugom (Norway). Hemstreet will be joined by Emmy Lan, Lily Boucher and Vanessa Bruneau in Saturday’s junior women’s final.
Canada’s latest mountain bike world champion Jackson Goldstone (Miranda Factory Team) sits second after qualifying, 0.229 seconds behind Pau Menoyo Busquets (Commencal 21). Tristan Lemire (Commencal Muc-Off) put in the fifth fastest junior men’s time on Friday. They’ll be joined in finals by Wei Tien Ho and Gravity MTB’s pair of Elijah Barron and Marcus Goguen. Coen Skrypnek just misses out on finals by less than a second, a week after a hard crash at world championships in Val di Sole. Jakob Jewett (Canyon Cllctv) looked on pace to qualify, sitting third after two splits, but a slow second half of his run sees the Canadian miss finals.
Lenzerheide World Cup continues with Short Track XC racing on Friday, Downhill finals on Saturday and XCO finals on Sunday. You can watch elite races on Red Bull TV.
