Tonight’s RockShox Ultimate Pump Track Challenge at Crankworx Whistler was her first race of the season.

Thomas Lemoine is the fastest, styliest guy in Whistler.. Right now.

It was some simple, yet effective, words that propelled Tomas Lemoine (FRA), a man known for his stylish skills on a bike and the power of his pedal strokes, to the top of a podium he’s never been on before at Crankworx Whistler.

Singletrack 6 2018. Day 5.

It was a hot Stage 5 and we're still alive! The Planet Foods/Honey Stinger sponsor day was the perfect fit for the stage as it was a stinger and we needed a lot of gels. Flat tires, cow dogging, rattlesnakes and a grizzly?

Singletrack 6 2018. Day 1.

Day 1 started off at 8 AM sharp with a cool temperature and a hot field of racers. The RCMP police escort lead out came to a quick halt as the morning train crossed the main road ahead of the field en route to the ski hill road climb.
