After getting back from the Quebec Cup in L'Anse-St-Jean last night at 1h30 AM, I will stop by the office this morning to empty the team stuff and will take the rest of the day off.

The team had good showing this weekend. On a new race course we had a couple of podiums.

In senior elite men, Jonathan Boulanger (Opus/OGC) after coming back from a back injury got second. Marc-André Daigle, Louis Boissinot sub rep, got third and Léni Trudel (Opus/OGC) got fourth. All three rode their Stakh 1 without problems.

In senior elite women, Caroline Villeneuve (Opus/OGC) got a commanding lead right from the start to her second win off the season. Caroline was happy with her Stakh 1 she was feeling super good in the technical stuff this weekend.

In Junior mens, Jonathan Boucher (Opus/OGC), after coming back from the Worlds Championships, put in a super ride for is second win off the season. He caught all the way to the fourth place in elite men, they had left 2 minutes earlier from start line. Steve Caillé (Opus/OGC) on is part got fifth place.

In junior women, Andréanne Pichette (Opus/OGC), rode a good race and got third. She was happy with her race and was feeling good after crossing the finish line. THe form is getting back after a rough season start.

On my part I had two downhill races on Sunday in master expert categorie. I manage to get both wins with a pretty big margin over the second place finisher. Track conditions were just nasty with a tone of rain during the week and weekend. It was mud all over the place and big hole everywhere. In the end I got 14 second gap in the first race and 24 second in the second race over second place.

It was a pretty good weekend for team Opus/OGC with 7 medals. Next round is Canadian
Championships in Mont-Sainte-Anne in 3 weeks.

Opus est partout !

En regardant bien, le vélo est un Opus Belcanto 08. Comment s'est-il retrouvé sur une annonce française pour la course "Bernard Hinault" ? Mystère !

Ce qui devait être une mauvaise journée pour Anne-Marie Jobin, c'est finalement assez bien passée.
Son vélo de compétition étant brisé, elle ne pouvait se présenter au départ de la course de la Coupe Québec DeVinci Chantecler.
Olivier Laprade, du service course Opus, la voyant si désemparée l'interpelle :
— Anne-Marie! Prends celui-là et fonce!
Olivier lui à prêter un Opus Stakh 1, le vélo de remplacement de l'équipe Opus/OGC.

Non seulement Anne-Marie a excellé dans sa course, mais elle s'est offerte une 3e place avec un vélo qu'elle ne connaissait pas.
Bravo Anne-Marie!
