Baldwin/Fox/Fly's Greg Gee takes home the 2010 Canada Cup victory in Parry Sound - His & Ontario's first ever Canada Cup Win!

Throughout the history of the ATV MX Canada Cup, no one outside of the province of Quebec was able to secure an overall victory to claim the cup and call it there own. That is, until this year. Greg Gee, the Baldwin Motorsports backed Ontarian, laid claim to his first ever Canada Cup and would bring the cup home to Ontario for the first time in history as well! Hot weather and hot racing action was on the plate for the final rounds of the Cup at Parry Sound as the racers were laying it on the line in an all-out battle for the prestigious honour!

Pro ATV moto one on Saturday would get underway and see the three top-guns of the Canada Cup, Jasmin Plante, Richard Pelchat, and Greg Gee all come out swinging in the holeshot and fighting for an early lead. As the racers rounded the first few tight turns it would be Pelchat with the early lead followed by Plante and Gee.

Can-Am's Richard Pelchat would rip the moto one holeshot on Saturday with Plante, James Bank, Mathieu Deroy, & Gre Gee closely in tow around the first bend

Richard Pelchat, seven-time Canada Cup champion would go 1-1 on Saturday at Parry Sound as he came out swinging in the first moto and come away with nearly a 16 second lead over Plante and Gee.

Richard Pelchat had his sights set on the victory during Saturday's motos as he cruised on to a 16+ second lead in the first moto & the second moto was nearly a repeat except he was not able to run away with such a big lead but still came away with another win giving him a 1-1 set on the day and pushing him to the points lead heading into Sunday

For Moto two on Saturday, Pelchat would again come away with the victory but this time he would have to get around Plante before continuing on and winning the moto for his second win of the day. These two wins, along with his dominating performance at X-Town the week prior would put him in the lead for points heading into Sunday which would be the tell-all day to whom the Cup would go to!

Jasmin Plante would be the runner-up to Pelchat as he went 2-2 on the day being edged out by Pelchat, and being chased down by Greg Gee each time. Moto one would see Plante in a three-way battle for the lead but would soon drop back a few seconds on the single-lined track as Pelchat poured on the coal and ran away with the lead. Plante would finish in 2nd place for moto one and begin preparing for his second moto only a couple short hours away.

Ultimate ATV's Jasmin Plante would play tag with Greg Gee for both of Saturday's motos enroute to his 2nd place finish in both rounds - Plante would come bck stronger in the second outting to remain within a few seconds of Pelchat who lead for the entire moto

For moto two on Saturday, the Yamaha rider would again slot in between Pelchat, who was in the lead, and Gee who would be in third place for the second time of the day. Plante was in back in the swing of things for moto two as he seemed to ride much smoother and narrow the gap between himself and leader Pelchat. Plante’s 2-2 on the day would give him second overall for Saturday and edge him a little closer to keeping his 3rd place in the points standings.

Greg Gee would also come out of the holeshot for moto one on Saturday in good position slotting in 3rd place and holding this position for the entire moto, not being able to get around an aggressive Plante on the tight track. Gee would never back down from fighting for position but would not be able to advance and stay in 3rd before crossing the line.

Baldwin Motorsport's Greg Gee would have to settle for 3rd place in each moto on Saturday as he would not be able to find his way around Plante on the sandy, one-lined track at Parry Sound - he would then go back to the drawing board & prepare for his Sunday motos the next morning

For moto two, Gee was again in the top 5 off the start battling with Deroy and Summers out of the holeshot but again would slot into third place before coming back through the mechanic’s area and up the big step-up. For this moto, the top three runners, Pelchat, Plante and Gee, would remain quite close as they rounded the sandy track in hopes of swapping positions. Unfortunately for Gee, this moto was a dopelganger of moto one as he again finished in 3rd place and would be sitting 7 points outside of first place heading into Sunday’s pertinent motos
