Finn Iles flew into the top qualifying spot on Friday, putting down the fastest time at Mont-Sainte-Anne. Iles laid down a big 3.240-second margin ahead of second-fastest qualifier, Greg Minnar (Syndicate). That means Iles drops out of the start gates last on Saturday in finals.
It also means Iles moves up in the overall standings. Both Loic Bruni (Specialized) and Loris Vergier (Trek Factory Racing) are our of MSA with injuries. With Vergier sitting out this weekend, Iles, who also missed a race this year, moves from third back into second overall. Amaury Pierron, third in qualifying, still has a solid lead in that competition.
Lucas Cruz (Norco Factory Team) in 32nd, Kirk McDowall (Dunbar) in 34th and Mark Wallace (Canyon Cllctv) in 48th put four men into the final on Saturday.
Junior Canadians
Bodhi Kuhn led the Canadian juniors in qualifying, putting himself second behind Madison Saracen’s Jordan Williams. Jackson Goldstone (Syndicate) qualifies fourth, but with a problem during his run. He could easily be back in the running on Saturday. Wei Tein Ho of Whistler put in the sixth fastest junior men’s time, Tegan Cruz (RockShox Trek) the eighth and Elijah Barron (Gravity MTB) the 11th. Henry Sherry, in 23rd, makes it six junior men in Saturday’s finals.
On the junior women’s side, Gracey Hemstreet (Norco Factory Team) and Fernie, B.C.’s Joy Attalla (Dunbar) seed fourth and eighth. It’s Phoebe Gale (Canyon FMD) putting in the top time by a massive 12-second margin to world champ Izabele Yankova (Gen-S).
