Andréanne just won the big one!!! U23 Canadian Champion!
Congratulations go to her for all her hard work over the years and sticking with it. Andréanne has been part of the Opus family for years and we're extremely proud of her.
Race recap : Andréanne had a 30 second lead when disaster struck and her chain broke ! Thankfully Olivier Laprade was in the zone and got her back rolling in record time. She dropped to 7th place with the broken chain and managed to climb back up to the lead to take the win !

Frédérique Larose-Gingras had a hard fought race and was able to take the 3rd spot in Junior women's!!! Congratulations! This gets her an invite to go to the Worlds in St-Anne as well as the one in Windham.
Mathieu Belanger-Barrette had a great race as well coming in 10th in senior elite during a hard fought race.
Guillaume Larose-Gingras managed to get a 4th place finish in Men's Junior, being probably the only Junior in Canada that would be disappointed with a 4th. He can console himself by knowing he is the overall series Junior Champion for the Canada Cups!!!
Steven Noble got a great 6th place finish in U23 men's and Daniel Varga was close behind with an 11th place. Congratulations to both of them!!!
Alex Frappier managed to get a 11th place in Masters elite during a hard fought race.
