MCCORMACK AND WALSH ON TOP OF CANADA CUP BMX STANDINGS
A great weekend of racing in Québec for BMX riders
(St-Augustin-De-Desmaures, QC – June 30, 2012) Day two of the new Canada Cup BMX series was held today, and riders Connor McCormack and Amelia Walsh continued on their winning ways in St-Augustin-de-Desmaures, near Québec City.
Amelia Walsh went on to win her second straight Canada Cup race, and takes a commanding lead in the women’s elite standings. Walsh won all three motos today, and secured the top prize and the lead in the general classification of the series.
“I’m pretty stoked to be here in Quebec. I’d like to thank Ontario Cycling and Yess BMX for their support all weekend. I’m looking forward to the next Canada Cup in St. Albert. The Canada Cup series is so important for BMX in Canada and I am so happy to win the first round,” said Walsh, after her day at the office.
In the men’s race, it was a second straight day of domination of Connor McCormack riding with CyclingBC. McCormack won two of the three motos today, to end a two-win weekend.
“Things went well, things went my way. I just tried to stay focused and to the best I could. I ended up with two wins so I am happy,” said McCormack.
The Canada Cup BMX will now travel to St-Albert, in Alberta, for another set of two races, August 25 and 26th. The final and ultimate race of the new series will be held in Abbotsford, after the 2012 Canadian BMX Championships, where the new Canada Cup Champion will be crowned.
