The 2014 BMX Canada Cup series came to an end on Sunday, October 5th, in Drummondville, Quebec, with two categories decided by tie breakers to determine the Series Champions.

James Palmer of North Vancouver, BC (Yess Factory) won the men's title in a tiebreaker with Mischa Partridge of Duncan, BC (Ridge Meadows BMX), while Eliane McAdam of Calgary, AB (Ssquared Canada) enjoyed a comfortable lead in the women's category.  Both riders won their first Canada Cup titles.

Palmer rode away with the victory on this last race of the season, scoring 700 points. Palmer had a hard task ahead of him as the day started, in a position where he had to win the race to score the maximum points and hoping that Mischa Partridge would finish the race no higher than third. And that exact scenario happened.

Palmer won all three motos of the day and finished first of the race. With only three riders in the category, and with Partridge suffering from injuries suffered in Saturday's Canadian BMX Championships, Partridge soldiered on and participated in the races. He finished third of the first two rounds, and opted not to start the third round, allowing Palmer to cruise to the victory and the Canada Cup title.

Palmer finished the series with 4700 points, having competed in each of the BMX Canada Cup races this season. Patridge also finished with 4700 points, but Palmer took the title having won the Finals. National champion Tory Nyhaug of Coquitlam, BC (Redline) finished in third place with 2800 points.

In the women's category, first-year elite rider Eliane McAdam easily won the title with 4780 points, with an impressive 1300 point lead over two-time Canadian Champion Amelia Walsh of Ayr, ON (Yess Factory) in second place. Rosemary Adams of Surrey, BC (Abbotsford BMX) came in third place.

McAdam entered the Elite ranks this year, and has established herself as an immediate threat to her opponents. In the Canada Cup series, she won four of the nine races and provided stiff competition to Amelia Walsh at the Canadian Championships. Walsh won four of the five races in which she entered to finish second overall.

Drew Mechielsen of Langley, BC (Yess Factory) won the Junior women's title with 3460 points for the season. Erin Kinnie of Burnaby, BC (Team BC) finished second close behind, just 200 points back of the leader, while Daina Tuchscherer of Chestermere, AB (Factory Pure) took third place.

In the hotly contested Junior men's category, Hayden Mechielsen of Langley, BC (Abbotsford BMX) won the Series title with 3250 points, jumping from third to first, thanks to his victory on the last day of competition. Jared Ennis of Coquitlam, BC (Team BC) finished second, tied with Mechielsen at 3250 points. Similarly to the Elite men's situation, Mecheilsen broke the tie thanks to his victory at the Finals to win the title. Kiran Kawa (Team Alberta) took third place.

The top seven results were taken in consideration for the Canada Cup final standings for all categories.
