This past weekend, the team travelled up to Gatineau (in Quebec) to race Junior Provincials (Ontario's Junior Provincials!). The boys got the opportunity to race a draft-legal format with 60 Juniors and Elites in field from B.C., Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec and Nova Scotia. All 3 boys managed to avoid several crashes and dealt quite well with the heat (humidex of 35+ during the race). Derek Quick was 29th overall, 21st Junior and 5th for Junior Provincials. John Rasmussen was 30th overall, 22nd Junior and 6th for Junior Provincials. David Hopton was 43rd overall, 31st Junior and 12th for Junior Provincials. On the Junior women's side, Angela Quick (coached by Craig at the PTC) unfortunately ran into some medical issues during the race. I believe Ang is doing okay now and know that from working with her in the past that she will bounce back and show us some fast racing the rest of this year!
All-in-all, this was a good exposure to draft-legal racing for the boys and I'm sure they all look forward to doing more in the future. Here are a few pics. More pics featuring the rest of the Ontario Juniors are available here:
