Canadians Win Pan Am MTB Championship

Bill Hurley took first place in a sprint finish against last year's Columbian winner, taking the Pan-American Champion's title. Crying with joy the Chelsea resident could say little other than expressing his happiness. After racing for 2 hours and 40 minutes Hurley was quite tired yet excited at the same time. "This is the best race I've ever had! It's also a great day for the Oryx-Procycle team as my teamate Marie-Hélène Prémont won the women's race."

The Pan-American Champions is now heading to Silver Star British Columbia for the last race of the Canada Cup series this coming weekend.
