9 - SUNDAY
ATV MOTOS
CONTINUED |
Yamaha’s Jasmin Plante’s Sunday would
go as planned with no issues with his ATV as he
finished in third position for moto one as he
came off the line in good position and battled
his way to the finish line.

Jasmin Plante
would go on to take 2nd place for the
day at OCD Parry Sound after going 3-2
on the day but would finish in 3rd place
overall in the points standings for the
Canada Cup
|
Moto two was roughly the same for Plante as he
was again in third place for much of the moto
until Pelchat ran into issues which would allow
him to move up into second place before crossing
the line. Jasmin would finish in second place
overall after going 3-2 on the day at Parry Sound.

James Bank was in the thick of thing all
weekend long running in the top 5 but was
able to settle in 3rd place on Sunday's
overall podium |
Royal Distributing’s James Bank has been securing
4th place positions all year long as he has not
been able to sneak by Plante, Pelchat, or Gee. Moto
one for Bank was nothing short of consistent of
the rest of his season as he again finished in 4th
place after doing battle with the other CMRC Pro
racers. Moto two for Bank would see him running
in 4th place again for much of the moto until he
was able to move up into third place after Pelchat
dropped out of the running. Bank’s 4-3 finish
was good enough to give him third overall on the
day for the season finale.
Richard Pelchat ended his day in fourth place
overall after finishing second in moto one and
seventh in moto two. Pelchat wasn’t too
happy with the outcome but chalked it up simply.
“ That’s just racing. My weekend was
going perfect with taking both moto wins on Saturday
but today was just a little rough at the end with
bad luck striking me at the worst possible time.
I will put this behind me and continue my training
for the rest of my races and the Montreal Supercross
race in October,” said Pelchat after the
event.

up front between Gee, Pelchat, and Plante!

This season has truly been one to remember with
the Cup making its way into the hands of an Ontarian
for the first time in history! The teams will
now prepare for the remainder of the season which
will consist of provincial races and various Pro-only
events. The Supermotocross de Montreal will take
place on October 1-2nd and will see the premier
ATV MX racers of both the USA and Canada go head-to-head
in battle once again before the snow begins to
fly. Be sure to keep up to date on what’s
happening with our Northern counterparts by visiting
