Appeal Launched

Adam Walker, the Senior Elite Canada Cup series champion, has launched an appeal to the selections committee for the Mountain Bike World Championships to reconsider their formula for national team selection. In his appeal (a copy of which was sent to us), Walker argues that he and other high ranking Canada Cup riders were left off the team, devaluing the Canada Cup series. The Calgary-based rider stopped short of launching a formal appeal of the selections.
