The UCI Mountain Bike World Cup hit North America via the long-standing Mont Saint Anne location in Quebec last weekend. While France’s Julien Absalon and Canada’s Catharine Prendel took decisive wins, prominent cyclocrossers battled for and landed podium spots in both the men’s and women’s races.

We’ve got exclusive photos of the top cyclocrossers on fat tires at Mont Saint Anne from our star photographer, Joe Sales.
