I thought Canada qualified for more spots at the DH. it's not like CCA pays for the athletes, they pay CCA and fund themselves. why not fill the spots.

by the way, good luck to all. good to see all the west coasters on the list.

i heard they couldnt find anymore juniors to go, even though they had the spots available i dont know why more pro men arent going though.

and congrats to everyone who made it must be so stoked.

I heard a couple weeks ago that Canada qualified for 16. That works out unless I heard a rumour.

Yeah it has us east coasters sort of pissed. USA Cycling pretends that the US Open does not exist. Also, USAC chose Plattekill as a junior qualifier b/c the track was similar to Worlds. Sort of a dumb choice.
