Phil Ricard: 5th at Canadian National Champs

Our NS Bikes / LamaCycles DH riders have been quite busy recently and last weekend was no exception. Phil and Liam were up in Sun Peaks, BC for the Canadian Championships along with Team Quebec while Lucas made the trip down to Jiminy Peak, MA for another round of the Eastern State Cup. Fun fact: 4600km (2800 miles) separated Liam and Phil from Lucas.


To start with, Phil Ricard had an amazing run proving Canadians he is one of the top guys in the country by finishing 5th. A personal record for him, he was also the fastest Quebecor. This race along with the next round of the Canada Cup happening next weekend are key races to get a spot on the Canadian team for World Champs. We wish him the best of luck!

 

 
As for Liam, that race was part of his first trip racing on the West coast. His race run didn't go as planned but he still finished 13th in a stacked field of Junior Ex riders. Puting that result behind, he's already focusing on next weekend's race.

Finally our U17 rider Lucas opted for another Eastern State Cup race. Registering again in Junior Expert, he knew he'd have some fierce competition. An exhausting run lead him to 5th place. With many more rounds left in this series, we might see him really soon on the box.
