The final World Cup for 2010 took place in Windham NY and was a look into what may happen next weekend at the World Championships in Mont St. Anne QC.
For the XC racing, Both Andrew Watson and Catherine Vipond were racing. Andrew Watson was having a solid race when a mechanical lead to the unfortunate script of DNF beside his name. Catherine Vipond on the other hand finished a strong 42nd for the day.
Fuelled by gravity, Norco international riders Ben Reid, Bernard Kerr and Fionn Griffiths raced the DH. Ben Reid Finished 25th, Bernard 54th and for the Women Fionn came in for 10th place.
The Team is on their way to Mont St Anne now for the World Champs. Check back soon for updates.
