Canada’s cyclocross scene is enjoying some good growth. Saturday’s 2016 Canadian Cyclocross National Championships in Sherbrooke, Quebec drew out top talent and impressive field sizes.
Five new Canadian National Champions were crowned in Quebec, with Jeremy Martin and Maghalie Rochette winning the Elite races. Peter Disera took the U23 men’s title, Sidney McGill won the women’s U23 title, while Gunnar Homgren won the Junior men’s championship.
The race was so muddy, some fans called it a “running race.” Full results below.
