Troy Brosnan is usually quite fast at Mont Sainte Anne so it’s no surprise to see him pump out the fastest time today but what blows our mind is how well Loic Bruni has clearly recovered from a broken collarbone just a few weeks ago. Aaron Gwin clearly didn’t participate(head games?) and as expected, Rachel Atherton was fastest amongst the women. Also nice to see young buck Jackson Frew up there in the Juniors. Tomorrow will be interesting for sure! For now, enjoy our gallery from practice and find the results at the bottom of the page.
![All eyes on Aaron Gwin. H hasn't been on an insane winning streak this year but he's been the most consistent rider for a few years now.](https://www.mtb-mag.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/0652-B22W4474.jpg)

![Freshie bike for Loic. He's running a coil and ditched the semi slick. Maybe now that he finally won a world cup he is going to play it safe(r)](https://www.mtb-mag.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/0439-B22W4256.jpg)
