Canada’s juniors had a phenomenal weekend at the UCI Junior Series XCO in Nové Město, Czech Republic on Saturday, with four riding into the top 10 across the men’s and women’s events.

Sisters Isabella and Ava Holmgren led the Canucks, finishing seventh and eighth. Marin Lowe, teammate to the Holmgren sisters on Stimulus-Orbea, finished ninth.

Mara Roldan and Marie-Fay St.-Onge added 35th and 38th place finishes, well inside the top half of the massive junior women’s field in Czech.

Zorak Paillé (PG Racing) led the Canadian men’s effort, finishing in 10th. Ian Ackert (Stimulus-Orbea), the only other Canadian in the junior men’s race, withdrew mid-way through Saturday’s XCO.

Racing continues Sunday in Nové Město with the elite men’s and women’s World Cup XCO.
