Team Canada rode well last weekend to make the A main and finish 15th OA.
Today was a solid day for Team Canada at the 2024 MXoN, as all three riders did their job and qualified for the A Main on Sunday. As you may remember, Team Canada was unable to this last year, so already this is a big step forward. Both Jess Pettis and Dylan Wright finished 13th in their qualifier, while Kaven Benoit recovered from two early crashes to finish 23rd. With each team being allowed to throw out one moto finish today, Benoit’s 23rd was obviously discarded. As he’s been all week, James Lissimore was there to captured these photos from Saturday at the 2024 MXoN.
Team Canada Manager Kourtney Lloyd said today was fun but stressful.Dylan Wright’s mom watches her son ride solid to finish 13th in his qualifier. Our riders were riding well today on the challenging Matterley Basin track. Kaven Benoit had a few struggles in his MX2 qualifier so he will be looking to lessen his mistakes tomorrow.
