In the 10 km tandem event, 1998 World silver medallists Brian Cowie (Burnaby) and pilot Min van Velzen (Vancouver) took the title in 13:38. Yvon Provencher (Montreal) and pilot Fabian Bergeron (Montreal) were second in 14:07; Julie Cournoyer (Montreal) and pilot Alexander Cloutier (Ste-Foy, Que.) were third in 14:10; Stefan Cote (Quebec City) and pilot Mathieu Fagnan (Montreal), fourth in 14:27; Richard Marsolais (Vanier, Ont.) and pilot John Large (Aylmer, Que.) fifth in 15:14; Gary Steves and pilot Gary Steves (Vancouver) sixth in 16:57; and Zaiedee Potter (Calgary) and pilot Jennifer Durrance (Calgary) seventh in 19:05.
