June 23rd 2012 marked the fifth race of the UCI Cross-country elite women world cup circuit held at Mont Ste-Anne in Québec, Canada. The race was won by Catharine Prendel (#2; Luna Pro Team; CAN) from Canada who managed the 25.66 kilometers in a time of 1:41:40. She finished the race in front of second place Georgia Gould (#8; Luna Pro Team; USA) by a margin of 23 seconds. The local crowd was pleased to see Québec’s own Marie-Helene Prémont (#15; No Team; CAN) finished in third place. You can witness the joy she had by the smile on her face seen in the photos at the end. Enjoy the gallery!
