Quinton Disera rolled to his second cross country podium of 2022 on Sunday. The Canadian XCC national champion went long, finishing second in the XCO at Puerto Rico Mountain Bike Cup in Rincón behind coninental and Colombian national champion Jhonatan Botero Villegas.
Disera (Canyon Devo Racing) was joined on the extended podium by Maxxis Factory Team’s new duo of Haley Smith and Andrew L’Esperance. Smith finished fifth in the pro women’s race behind Kate Courtney (Scott SRAM). L’Esperance was fourth in the men’s event.
It is Quinton Disera’s second podium of 2022 after winning the XCC race last weekend, also in Puerto Rico.
A solid group of Canadians were enjoying the early season heat on Sunday. Tyler Orschel (Canyon Devo Racing) and Carter Woods (Norco Factory Team) joined Disera and L’Esperance in the top 10 of the men’s race in eighth and ninth. Cindy Montambault and Emilly Johnston (Norco Factory Team) were seventh and eighth in the women’s race.
Cam McCallum (Charge BCXC) was seventh in the junior men’s XCO in Puerto Rico.
