[Racing] Mont Sainte Anne Qualifying Results – Gwin First

Pure unadulterated aggression. All eyes on this guy tomorrow.

[ad3]

It should come as no surprise that Aaron Gwin was fastest in qualifying today.  After all, he loves high speed, loose and dusty tracks being from Southern California.  Danny Hart and Troy Brosnan rounded out the top 3 starting 3.6 back from Gwin.  What is mind blowing is that Rachel Atherton Qualified almost 13 seconds ahead of Manon Carpenter.  She’s next level for sure…Great to see Miranda Miller in the mix just behind in 3rd.  Finn Iles cruised into first place for the men’s juniors, continuing his consistent streak and heading towards a rainbow jersey…Enjoy the photos below and scroll to the bottom to find the full results.

Kicking it off with the iconic roll in…
#panshotfriday of last round’s winner, Danny Hart. He kept the momentum going and had a solid qualifier.
Absolutely unstoppable. Rachel was nearly 13 seconds up on the entire field.
And her brother Gee with a top 5 qualifier. Always up there.
Sam Hill, low and steezy.
Lots to see down below. These photos are making us miss Canada. Wyn styling hard.
#1 in Juniors, Finn Iles is on a tear lately.
Loris Vergier rocking a wild new kit. Let’s see if he can continue to hang in elites…6th in qualifying indicates that he most likely can.
TB with another solid top 3 result.
Mick Hannah smashing down the course.  Just outside the top 10.
Tahnee Seagrave likely had a mistake today…She was a little way back in 18th.
Blenki with a top 10 qualifier. We’d love to see him on the podium again soon. He’s just such an exciting rider to watch.
Ratty DNF’d today. Hopefully if he did crash it was an inconsequential one.
Marcelo Gutierrez seemed to place in the top 3 at every qualifier last year. Hopefully he gets his speed back a bit. Still in the top 20 with 17th.
So cal pinner Nik Nestoroff – 7th in junior men’s qualies and picking up speed this year.
Brendog has looked super good and rode well in practice but DNF’d today. Hopefully he’s healthy.
Classic Minnaar form, it would be foolish to count him out tomorrow. He’s big, strong and loves speed. 4th today.
Gwin on the hunt and hungry for a win.
Morgane Charre eeking into the top 5 and looking good.
Steeze guy Bernard Kerr is always sideways.
French National champ Gaetan Vige cruised in just behind Finn Iles…
Pure unadulterated aggression. All eyes on this guy tomorrow.
