Both racers will get to wear the maple leaf next season after conquering the grueling 90-kilometre event on Saturday at Trowbridge Park.
The Squamish, B.C. native was the lone cyclist to cross the finish line in under for hours, capturing the XCM Nationals 90-kilometre race in 3:58:32.8 at Trowbridge Falls, winning the right to wear the maple leaf for the first time next season.
“It feels unreal,” said Fincham, who edged out his Maxxis Factory Racing teammate – and last year’s champion – Andrew L’Esperance, to claim the title. For much of the first half of the race, Fincham found himself part of the pack, battling a group of three other riders for position on the course. Jackson, a two-time national champion cross-country cyclist, and the 2023 cross-country gold medalist at the 2023 Pan American Games, said winning at Trowbridge was extra special, given her four-year residency in Thunder Bay during the height of a skiing career that took her to a pair of world championships.“It’s been a really international year of racing. We started the year in South America and I’ve been racing in Europe and on the east coast of Canada.
