Cycling Canada – Canmore, AB (July 23, 2018) – The 2018 Canadian XCO Championships concluded on Sunday with the Team Relay at the Nordic Centre in Canmore, Alberta. Team B.C. #1 took the title, a slim four seconds ahead of defending champions Norco Factory Racing.

The Team Relay consists of teams of four riders from different categories each racing a lap of the cross-country circuit before handing off to the next rider on the team. Each team must include at least one woman and no more than one Elite man.

The race quickly came down to three teams – B.C. #1, Norco and Pivot-OTE.  Pivot-OTE (Raphael Auclair) took the lead on the first lap, followed by Norco (Quinton Disera) and B.C. #1 (Carter Woods), and continued to hold after two laps. However, B.C. #1’s Holden Jones rocketed through the field on the third lap to put his team in the lead by a few seconds as he handed off to the final rider – national men’s Under-23 champion Sean Fincham, who was up against Elite national champion Peter Disera of Norco.

Fincham started the lap only five seconds ahead of Disera, and the pair battled all lap. Disera would close to within a few metres of Fincham only to have to back off, allowing the gap to open again.  At the finish, the gap remained four seconds. Pivot-OTE completed the podium.
