The final World Cup of 2021 is here and, after Friday’s qualifying round, there’s a big group of Canadians that will be on the start line. Three junior men and eight elite men will start Saturday’s downhill World Cup in Snowshoe, W.Va.
Finn Iles leads the Canadians, qualifying second behind Specialized Gravity teammate Loic Bruni. Iles and Mark Wallace (Canyon Cllctv) made history earlier this week when they finished fourth and fifth in Wednesday’s World Cup, the first time two Canadian elite men had finished on a World Cup podium. Wallace looks poised for another excellent result this weekend, qualifying 14th.
Kirk McDowall (Dunbar Cycles) was the next across the line in 33rd. Lucas Cruz (Norco Factory Team) continues his run of finals appearances qualifying 41st, Gabe Neron (Dunbar) 49th, Elliot Jamieson and Henry Fitzgerald 51st and 55th for Norco Factory Team and Forrest Riesco (Commencal Canada) 58th. James Frost, Seth Sherlock (Intense Factory Racing) and Garrett MacIntosh (Dunbar) all narrowly miss out on the top-60 cut-off in 64th, 65th and 66th.
Rachel Pageau, the lone Canadian woman entered, is sitting out this weekend’s racing to follow concussion protocols after a heavy practice in Wednesday’s World Cup in West Virginia.
Junior men
Jakob Jewett (Canyon Cllctv) leads a trio of Canadian juniors, qualifying fourth. Tristan Lemire (Commencal Muc-Off) set the 12th fastest time after hitting his first World Cup podium on Wednesday. Jackson Goldstone, who locked up the World Cup overall with his second place in the first Snowshoe race, was 15th on Friday.
The final World Cup downhill of 2021 launches out of the start gates Saturday, Sept. 18 in Snowshoe, W.Va. Elite races will be broadcast live on Red Bull TV. Check out the race schedule for all this weekend’s events.
