This is going to be an awesome race with the addition of the Quebec boys. Do you think Ontario will see any podiums? Personanlly I'll bet maybe one podium for Ontario.

Only 1 frenchie in the Elite Top 5, the local trail building/ Privateer racers where kept abay.

It was nice to see a real DH course in Ontario.

I was very surprised by the poor FQSC showing. Organizers were hoping to see allot more Q Sport / Expert riders out especially when the FQSC promoted and endorsed the race on their website (also, there were no conflicts with other local races). I hope the poor showing does not impact on Pete's plans for a combined O-Cup vs. Q-Cup show down next year. You're right, it is nice to see a real DH course on the O-Cup and it is worth the 4+ hours drive from TO.

The Ontario boys did REAL well, especially when you consider the total lack of terrain in Ontario. I would like to see how the overall quality of our Ontario racers would increase if we had a Camp Fortune and a Bromont within an hour drive from Toronto. Blue offers some elevation, but runs have been so sanitize for the public rider, it does not compare to PQ runs.

Harold, you were rippin it this weekend and you are fun to watch.
