After spending a good amount of time racing down in the U.S. during the past two months, Christel Ferrier-Bruneau (Sas Macogep Aquisio) returned to her adopted home province of Quebec for her second Canadian Cyclocross National Championships.
The second time was the charm for Ferrier-Bruneau after she beat out Maghalie Rochette (Clif Pro Team) and Mical Dyck (Naked Factory Racing) to become the new Women’s Canadian National Champion.
Michael van den Ham (Garneau-Easton p/b Transitions LifeCare came into the race in Sherbrooke as one of the favorites, but he had not yet won the Elite Nationals during his career. That changed on Saturday when he outgunned Geoff Kabush (SCOTT Sports – Maxxis) and Mark McConnell (Hot Sauce Cycling) to take home the win and the National Champion’s jersey.
Full results from both Elite races are below. Stay tuned for more from Quebec.
