Leg 1: Geoff Kabush...15:50 lap...14.78 mph...Maxxis

"If depth is the true measure of a country's cycling strength, then Canada certainly deserves the nod as one of the world's best.

Despite fielding a team that included just one world's team relay veteran, the Canadians powered to a 24-second win over Switzerland in the opening event of the 2004 world mountain bike championships at Les Gets, France on Wednesday. It was the third relay victory in four years for Canada, which also took the world's title at Vail in 2001 and Kaprun in 2002."

Our very own Alison Sydor took the bronze in Women's XC, but there were no Canadians in the top 10 of the men's race.
