<b>This was a yank-a-dank for the rest of the field but Bryceland breezed through with ease. Ratboy victorious in Mont Sainte Anne today by the slimmest of margins.</b> -Duncan Philpott
<b>Loic stoked, Ratty mind-blown and Greg getting a little too familiar as the final results sink in after Troy crossed the line.</b> @maddogboris
<b>Josh accepting crowd and fan beers before the podium. This one supplied by the #Vanzacs. Shotgun in true Rat Boy style. </b> -Sven Martin
<b>Rachel has been at the top for years and she's not showing any signs of changing that.</b> -Duncan Philpott
<b>Laurie stylishly going very, very fast all day. 6.6-seconds was a big margin into the rest of the Juniors.</b> -Duncan Philpott
<b>The French Canadians love Loic out here.</b> -Sven Martin
<b>Loic jumping out the final rocks with his chain jammed up after bottoming out his drivetrain in the first woods. Without pedaling Loic got the fastest middle split today and 2nd place by just .2-seconds. Another big result for a bike that cannot pedal.</b> -Sven Martin
<b>Loic's destruction.</b> -Duncan Philpott
<b>Manon started the day with a big crash in the greasy conditions. She held it together for 2nd today, ending with a slow flat.</b> -Sven Martin
<b>Manon's tire, post-race.</b> -Duncan Philpott
<b>Troy's 80's kit may have been the call for race day. Bright colors are at least .3-seconds faster according to regional studies. Practice before the race shown.</b> @maddogboris
<b>That look back at the timing arch to verify the results. Third place for Troy by only .225-seconds.</b> -Duncan Philpott
<b>It's all in the eyes with Myriam. Head-down determination but the eyes always leading.</b> -Sven Martin
<b>Minnaar smoothing out the infamous Mt Ste Anne rocks for another podium even after a big, head-smashing crash during practice this morning.</b> -Sven Martin
<b>The pits here in Mt Ste Anne are a little more ghetto than back in Europe, but the celebrations are much the same. No cigars for the win here but thanks to Patrick, plenty of pizzas. </b> -Sven Martin
<b>Marcelo had a great week. All went to plan for another podium.</b> -Sven Martin
<b>4/5 of your women's podium, 2015 social media-style.</b> -Tahnee Seagrave
<b>Eddie Masters with his 3rd Top 20 this year.</b> -Duncan Philpott
<b>The Vanzacs are multiplying. Eddie Masters put out an Instagram advertising free beer and Instagram photos in the press room, it didn't take long for this bunch to show up.</b> -Sven Martin
<b>Matt Walker styling into the finals arena.</b> -Duncan Philpott
<b>Gee will be happy to leave Mt St Anne injury-free for the first time in many years. Expect him to be back on the podium next weekend. </b> -Sven Martin
<b>Miranda Miller, Canadian National Champ with her first World Cup podium. She almost threw it away on the final straight but got to the finish line in time for a podium spot.</b> -Sven Martin
<b>Aaron Gwin cutting fine tight lines in the woods. Millimetres lead to milliseconds. </b> -Sven Martin
<b>Brook was one of the standout riders this week. He just couldn't put a perfect race run together. </b> -Sven Martin
<b>Angle 1 of Mark Wallace scrubbing the heck out of the last jump. He ruled the the rock garden too, doubling everything in sight.</b> -Sven Martin
<b>Angle 2. You what? Smashing his way to a 6th place</b> -Duncan Philpott
<b>Danny Hart about to be the ultimate G-Out Project Champion. He slid the drop before, lost speed and case-bounced the crap out of the finish double.</b> -Fraser Britton
<b>A Grant Robinson tribute with atmospheric blur. The Vanzacs are their own mobile beer dispensers.</b> -Duncan Philpott
<b>Remy Morton is a big kid. He may be a Junior but when you ride full pace into a big tree, things break. </b> -Sven Martin
<b>Alex Marin was one of the few Juniors hucking out of the end of these last rocks and he was the closest to Laurie this weekend.</b> -Duncan Philpott
<b>Plunging into the finals arena was one of the easiest parts of this race track after 4-minutes of brutal rock bashing</b> -Duncan Philpott
<b>Sam Hill the legend didn't look fit this weekend but he still cruised his way to 20th place and secured himself a World Champs team spot.</b> -Duncan Philpott
<b>Blurs of yellow into the finish area.</b> -Sven Martin
<b>The Specialized staff all sign their leader's trophies and take one home apiece. A solid bit of memorabilia.</b> -Duncan Philpott
<b>Rumors are a L'oreal helmet deal for 2016. #mtbjesus</b> -Duncan Philpott
<b>Getting radial and radical at MSA</b> -Duncan Philpott
<b>Andrew Crimmins may have lost his leader's jersey this weekend but he'll sure as hell be hunting it back in Windham.</b> -Duncan Philpott
<b>It's easy to be pigeon-holed into safe shots and sometimes you just have to yolo Top 10 riders at 17mm and 1/6th of a second.</b> -Duncan Philpott
<b>Emmeline Ragot had a rough day to say the least. She got on the brakes at the last second on the Videotron Box coming into the finish and slid off...12 feet to flat. She ended up with 3 breaks in her ankle and smashed the head of her radius in her arm. #getwellsoon</b> -Fraser Britton
<b>Steve Smith came down early due to a slow qualifier and wound up deep in the weather. A large partisan Canadian crowd cheered the Chainsaw Massacre to the finish, but a crash in the new rock drop section kept him out of the running this week.</b> -Fraser Britton
<b>Luca Shaw would have been happy with a Top 20 finish in a World Cup earlier this season, but now the young American is pushing for single digits.</b> -Fraser Britton
<b>Winning rider, beer and bike. </b> -Sven Martin
<b>Boris and his angels. They run the show here in Mt St Anne and somehow they not only gave him a press pass but he also got a nod to the VIP party. #grrrr</b> -Sven Martin
<b>Four wins in a row for Rachel. It looks like she is running away with the series overall.</b> -Sven Martin
<b>A pee test is standard for the winner of a World Cup. Josh gets some practice in while Joe Bowman gets yet another Ratty penis shot. Minnaar in audio.</b> -Sven Martin
<b>Winning just feels good.</b> -Duncan Philpott
<b>A first to witness and a great gesture of the sportsmanship of the sport.</b> -Duncan Philpott - <b>THANKS FOR A GREAT WEEKEND OF ACTION, GUYS!!!</b> -gordo
