Joost Wichman won the mens 4x at Bromont ahead of US young gun Mitch Ropelato, Dan Atherton and Michal Prokop.
I was watching at the pro line doubles, but was told that a first corner incident in the mens finals saw Prokop, Ropelato and Atherton on the deck after a three way pile up. Ropelato deserves a big up after finishing 2nd in only his second World Cup 4x race. He showed a calm, calculating race head as he made an outstanding inside pass over the last pro double in the semis.
Dan Atherton looked on fire all night and looked good for the win until the tangle.
(It’s only 21.00pm and the press room is closing, so more info later)
