Jeremy Trudel and Frederic Bussieres lead the Junior Expert Men's race at the same point, 10 seconds ahead of Julien Fillion, with Tyler West and Stefan Witmer a further 10 seconds back.

Kiara Bisaro was walking away with the women's race, 2:45 in fromnt of Trish Sinclair. Claire Townsend is another 55 seconds back and eron Chorney is fourth, over 5 minutes behind Bisaro. There has been no sign of Canada Cup leader Marie-Helene Premont, and the word is that she is out with a broken seat. If she does not finish reasonably close to Sinclair, then the Ford-Devinci rider will take the overall title.
