Mont-Sainte-Anne hosts the seventh round of the 2022 Downhill World Cup. In the junior men’s races, Jackson Goldstone secured victory on home soil and we believe he also took the 2022 overall title. Jordan Williams crossed the line just under four seconds back, with Bodhi Kuhn completing the top 3. Phoebe Gale won the junior race with a dominant run, almost seven seconds behind Izabela Yankova. Gracey Hemstreet ended the weekend in third place and will still be chasing the general classification on the final lap.
Vali Höll gets another win this year when she shot over three seconds ahead of a hard attacking Nina Hoffmann. Eleonora Farina was the only other rider to beat the fastest qualifying run and cross the finish line in third place. Myriam Nicole even led Vali by over two seconds after split two, but a flat tire took away her chance of victory.
