Opus Team: Another big week !

Opus had a great tech presence at the "Défis des Laurentides" and we have plenty more of these large road events on our calendar, culminating in a huge 40x20 set-up at the Grand Tour (7000 cyclists) each day for the whole tour (10 days) !!!

Next stop is the "petite aventure Desjardins", check it out:

Keep in mind that we also have a tech presence at each O-Cup road race so if you're attending, make sure to check us out.

Véronique Labonté got a hard fought 7th at Canadian Championships over the weekend. Probably one of the few racers out there who would be disappointed with a top 10 at Nationals, I think its safe to say that we are all very proud of her even though her goal was to podium. Now she is off to Europe to continue her racing. Make sure to follow her blog and check it out as she has a bunch of great pics of her with her Amadeus:

Andréanne Pichette got a 5th place finish at the Mont St-Anne world cup over the weekend, great race on her part, she also had a great article in the "La Presse" mentioning her Canadian Champion title, see link down below.

We did a quick Q&A with Andreanne that will be posted on the Opusbike.com website shortly in regards to her win at Nationals and her approach to racing and training in general.

Mathieu Bélanger-Barrette is teaming up with Joe Boucher to do the BC Bike Race as team Opus, awesome race, it consists of a 7-day stage race, regarded as the ultimate in singletrack racing. Good luck to Mathieu, knowing him, we're sure he'll be smiling most of the way.

Congratulations to Andréanne Pichette for coming in 11th at the World Cup in La Bresse!  Great race on a rough track, Andréanne is having an amazing season and we're sure it'll keep going now that she's coming back to home turf.

It was the first XC Canada Cup this weekend in Tremblant and the Opus team was there in force. Frédérique and Guillaume Larose-Gingras both got a 3rd place in their categories and their little sister, Mireille, although not on the Opus team, won her category on her very own Opus Fhast.

The Opus tech zone was packed all weekend and Olivier did a great job in keeping all the bikes in check for both the Opus and Intense team riders.

Great job also for Steven N., Daniel V., Alex F. and Mathieu B. who each had a great race in the gruelling sun on Saturday.
