Uncensored and unedited, from the man himself:
Finally the last race of the Season...
This week end the race was in sherbrooke, 2hrs east of Montreal. We left pretty early on saturday morning, but as usual Montreal traffic was just stupid and it took us 5 hrs do drive 200km...
We got there and 10 min laters i knew it was gonna be a stupid week end, the parking was really bad, and i manage to dig my trailer axle deep in soft mud.... Good thing my Ram is a stong truck i was able to get unstuck by myself.... Then me and karine left to walk the track, i also manage to loose her in the trail since her section was so different than mine... My section was horrible, water over roots and rocks all this in real tight wood...This was gonna be a survival race!
Sunday morning came the weather was nice, and i spend my time putting new tires on the bikes since this was gonna be a mudder... Karine went to the line, and she grabbed the lead in the first corner, and decimated the other girls on the moto track, but the lead was short lived when she got in the wood, all this slippery stuff is really not her favorite, and she had a lot problem riding it, she did post steady time, but off the pace off the leaders, and she finished 5th... completely toasted!!!! That finish she be able to secure 2nd for the championship!!!
Then it was me, i got my best start of the year in second!!! made a pass in the first tricky uphill, but Phil stayed with me , we rode together for the first 1:30hrs, then my team(Karine did an awesome pit stop and i was able to run away, then next lap i almost had a 2 min lead... Then a lap later Phil had shrunk the lead to 1 min, so Karine gave me the 2 lap board and i pushed harder to run away from second, but made 2 little mistake, and on the second one i saw some radiator fluid squirt off one hose...... So i picked up my bike and knew it was over.... i rode slowly to reach the scan zone and Phil caught me there, i told him to continue but to tell my team i would wait here to go thrue the scan at 2:30...
We were so far ahead that even by waiting 5 min it still gave me second place.... I was a little pissed but at the same time that race track was so stupid that stopping was almost cool... I've seen many track but this one rate as one of the worst, in the wood section i couldn't even shift second that is how bad it was! I had no fun at all... I just hope somebody wakes up in the FMSQ , and choose better race track.....
So 2nd should give me the Enduro-cross championship, but the not the 1 plate... I made the choice of riding the CEC and that killed my chance at the number one...
Whatever !!! 801 it will be again for next year...
On Monday since it was a day off we went ridin downhill MTB, with JSR, Kevin Lacombe , Marc antoine Genereux and the famous Flexi... We had a blast except for Sexy Flexi who did a smooth front flip landed on her back in rocks and tweak herself a bit....
Now it's freeriding for a while!!!!!!!!
Have a good week!!
