Canadian Junior cross-country champion Rachel Pageau will not be racing in tomorrow's World Cup race in Hafjell, Norway, after crashing in training prior to the Eliminator last night and breaking her arm.  However, Canadian Downhillers Claire Buchar and Miranda Miller are back in action, in their first World Cup of the year after both missed the earlier part of the season due to injury.  The time off hasn't hurt them, with Buchar qualifying eighth and Miller ninth, although Buchar crashed a week ago, breaking two ribs!  Miller said she is stoked to be back racing, and is feeling fit after riding her road bike to get in shape.
