Three from four Aaron Gwin wins Mont Sainte Anne World Cup
Aaron Gwin wins UCI World Cup round 4 at MSA, Quebec, Canada.
A rare mistake from Greg Minnaar meant that Aaron Gwin took his third win out of four races this year. Josh Bryceland was a sensational second after narrowly beating an awesome run from Brook MacDonald. Another top result and wild run from Danny Hart for fourth. Big Cam Cole made it two New Zealanders on the podium with the Brits and American
Troy Brosnan gets his best ever World Cup result, 6th!
Gee Atherton suffered his second mechanical in a row. Blowing his tyre clean off the rim. You’ve got to feel for the guy.
Big shout to Dirt/Norco rider Ben Reid, sat in the hot seat for a good while and finished up 23rd. Great result Baltic!
Sam Dale 26th and Harry Bazza Heath 27th
From Twitter: Josh Bryceland: Madness! Thanks everyone I don’t know how that happened…

Troy Brosnan is DEFINITELY gonna be the next Nico!!
July 3rd, 2011 at 9:16 pm
Awesome race, stupid fast in that middle part. Well done Bryceland!!

Best track and racing this year so far. Brook set the pace, brosan is a pocket rocket. Hart attack sent it.Rat boys come in to form. bad luck for gee, and gregs mistake and on the pace as well. Gwin gotta stop be so sore on himself but if thats what drives him then all good. amazing season, gotta love this stuff.

Man I laughed when I saw Gee’s rear wheel. Not the first time happening with those Conti tires either, I have seen quite a few flatting and then losing their tire this year.
July 3rd, 2011 at 9:21 pm
What a race, crazy runs by Ratboy, Bulldog and Hart! Looked like just another day in the office for Gwinn…
Glad to see Needles finally get a good run in this season too.

Warner, commenting on Gwin’s Trek: “the best kept secret since Swarzenegger’s love child….” Classic! love that man!
July 3rd, 2011 at 9:27 pm
Has anyone checked that Gwin is actual human? Unbefrickinlievable!!! Well done to Josh, Brook and Danny too. Amazing riding on an awesome track.
July 3rd, 2011 at 9:28 pm
bryce clipped in?
July 3rd, 2011 at 9:28 pm
Ratboy what a run, and hart is a nutjob, well done lads:)
July 3rd, 2011 at 9:28 pm
Mental! Good to see two young brits on the podium and Needles to have a clean run!
Shame about Gee, to be fair though, he has had a lot of wheel issues! I’d be de stickering some deemax’s and colouring in some maxxis if i were him.
and could someone beat Gwin now please?
July 3rd, 2011 at 9:35 pm
rat boy on clips… clipped in, flat out, booom!
July 3rd, 2011 at 9:40 pm
the rat is on Fire – fantastic for Josh! and great to see so many kiwis kicking arse
July 3rd, 2011 at 9:46 pm
Boy, and Gwin even had an over the tape and complete stall up top – the nerves seem to be catching up, his riding is still insane though.
July 3rd, 2011 at 9:49 pm
@lee….I would put it down to bad luck, and when you look at the podium you will see Schwalbe tyres in there, along with Conti’s and Maxxis as well (if not for this round then the last few anyway)….and the Deemax’s are not the only wheelsets in there either.
July 3rd, 2011 at 9:49 pm
Gwin might be fast but he’s boring to watch…
July 3rd, 2011 at 9:50 pm
amazing results for the new generation. A changing of the guard?
July 3rd, 2011 at 9:51 pm
Holy sh#t! The races just keep gettin better every round! Happy 4th, Gwin! Amazing to watch the styles of Brosnan, Bryce and Hart. They are ready to perch and own the box very soon.
July 3rd, 2011 at 9:56 pm
This kids nowadays! Not respecting the old school,invading the podiums!
Awesome race,Gwin is making everyone putting it all on the line,and it shows.
If Evil had it’s new bike ready,it would make a 1-2-3 carbon bike podium…hmmm…
July 3rd, 2011 at 10:17 pm
hmmm remind me never to get conti tyres and those wheels gee uses, oh dear.
is it just me or is anyone else struggling to be stoked for gwin? people gave sam hill shit for his personality this dude is boring as shit!!!
July 3rd, 2011 at 10:23 pm
Safe to say this race has killed every non-gwin team in the fantasy league! Injury, crash and a puncture, not a single big dog left to challenge Gwin in the overall… Brosnan in Champery, could you imagine?!?
July 3rd, 2011 at 10:28 pm
Flat Pedal Thunder…nice one Josh!
July 3rd, 2011 at 10:33 pm
well done dan atherton.
July 3rd, 2011 at 10:42 pm
I’m with Chris, Gwin may be fast but it’s functional only, just wish he had a bit more style. Then again Peaty isn’t the most flamoyant rider – maybe I’m just being biased because he’s new. Awesome achievement.
Can’t wait for the press releases – who’s is going to be most annoying Whiteley or Sessler? ;o)
Nice one Josh, so damn close.
July 3rd, 2011 at 10:43 pm
Well done Josh Bryceland.
July 3rd, 2011 at 10:48 pm
Very happy for Gwin…proving that keeping your head down and enjoying what you do, not how you want people to see you pays off. Great for Bryceland too – another guy beating his own path and it looks like its working. Sahem for Minnaar…he was going well there and I think it would have been tight.
July 3rd, 2011 at 10:49 pm
Sahem = shame
July 3rd, 2011 at 10:50 pm
Racing is about going fast at the end of the day. Stylish or not.
July 3rd, 2011 at 11:06 pm
chris & G have you not seen the tipping point?? http://www.mefeedia.com/video/13398770 the dudes got supercross style for miles!
July 3rd, 2011 at 11:26 pm
To me…I agree with you all….it was an awesome race….I belive we’ve just witness a generation change first step…none of the all time winners were in the podium today….unbelievable…Josh, literally I scream my lungs out with the 0.050 diff…and Gwinn…something have to do with the Sessions I think, ’cause Leov was on fire too…and Tracy..holy smokes….
July 3rd, 2011 at 11:39 pm
Style dont win DH races, speed is the need for glory in a world of miliseconds.
Go over and thru anything Gwinn, we salute you!
July 3rd, 2011 at 11:51 pm
BRYCELAND a role model to all young people in the uk (except wales, large parts of england and scotland) Nice one mon! can’t wait till he wins one
July 4th, 2011 at 12:12 am
Nice to see so many young guns on the podium, gutted for gee and greg though. also good to see people are finally catching up on gwin, I was worried he was going to completely dominated the whole way through this year. I do like him but please don’t let him win on home turf next week! americans are so annoying when theyre happy…
July 4th, 2011 at 12:18 am
Good to the kiwis owning the top 10! and Danny Hart always puts down the best run to watch.
July 4th, 2011 at 12:33 am
Did anyone notice if Gee was tubeless? The press release stated it was that way this year for weight reasons. But maybe him and Sick Mick need a chat about the special system
July 4th, 2011 at 12:34 am
@ WTF Commencal . Gee and dan get rid of the fookers telling you to run tubeless tyres and run 3lbs of psi and in sure you will finish a run without blow and wrecking rims
July 4th, 2011 at 1:11 am
4 NZs in the top ten YEA
July 4th, 2011 at 3:34 am
Chris and G. style DOES not win the race.if he whipped at every turn and jumps his time probably would not be as good. i cant remember what movie it was when whitely said that if blinky was to controll all that whipping he would be really fast. he is already fast just needs more then just whipping the bike side to side to win the race
July 4th, 2011 at 4:19 am
The Commencal Atherton team is an awesome set up. Just look at the garage they have in the latest Atherton project. If they’ve decided to go with a funky tubeless set up, then they should have tested, tested, and tested some more. If it has failed for the first time during a race run then assuming the riding has been good, then that is indeed bad luck. If it’s a result of a lack of product testing, then well, that’s probably got to hurt even more.

I don’t believe anyone would think Gwin has no style. He’s dripping in DH race style. Check out Snap in DIRT 112. He is being directly compared to the Palmer, the king of DH style and to me I think Gwin looks much better.
Besides he’s making all the other guys step up and ride loose and wild which makes for better viewing for all.
Yay Kiwis!
July 4th, 2011 at 8:46 am
Not 1 to hate but please, somebody stop Gwin !!!! HELL OF A RACE – I hope next week is just as good.
July 4th, 2011 at 11:04 am
Fookin awesome…..
one of the Best World Cup Series ever!! Bet Gwin is feeling the pressure every race now. The young guns are seriously snapping at his heels.
Hart and Bryce are on FIRE!!!
July 4th, 2011 at 11:50 am
4 Kiwis top 10, 5 in the top 20.
Kiwi 1,2,3, next!
July 4th, 2011 at 12:54 pm
so stoked for josh, he deserved a podium one of these days.
Nice to see all the people who were against him in that interview over chips and chilli have changed their tune!
nother good job by hart too
July 4th, 2011 at 2:57 pm
Dont see why everyone hates on Gwinnie all the time. Pretty sure 3 years ago when he first came on the circuit with a top ten in his first race, that he’s here to ride a bike, not make people entranced by his persona. And his only style when it comes to his riding, HAULING ASS. Best style when it comes to winning imo.
July 4th, 2011 at 7:46 pm
Love’n the Gwinster…smashin’, bashin, clashin’..FAF…the rest need to go faster….it’s called racing! Brook and Danny are…and JB has come alive…pretty much the first 10 are all new skool…
Great race….raised the roof screaming for The Rat…fantastic excitement…beating anything F1 can conjour….Bernie?…investment opportunity..!?
July 4th, 2011 at 8:29 pm
Gwin has bags of style, did you not see him scrub the living daylights out of that hip, only Danny looked as good. Gwin is just pure race.
Well done to Danny and Josh, glad to see them fulfilling their potential. Awesome
July 4th, 2011 at 9:33 pm
What a race!!!
Super stoked for Troy Brosnan, that young kid went so fast…can’t wait to see what he does in the next couple of years.
Who are you guys betting on for the World Champs in Champery???? Gwin = World Champ??
