Behind the lens: Few photos from Friday at the Monster Energy Cup

Friday at the Monster Energy Cup saw everyone gather for the introduction of the events top riders. Although it was great to see the likes of Chad Reed, Justin Barcia and Ryan Dungey there, it was a proud Canadian moment to see BC rider and Supermini class favourite Casey Keast there as well.

After all the pleasantries and words from the riders, they all took to the Ricky Carmichael designed track for a 20 minute practice session. It was cool to watch the best riders in the world trying different combinations and getting used to the track. In the end it was a great afternoon and certainly an exciting introduction to the 2014 Monster Energy Cup. Here are a few photos from Friday.
