After hammering the competition over the last 2 weeks only to flat on the final lap... twice, Roland Green (CAN,Trek-Volkswagen) finished on top in the long-course XC at Mammoth today! Seeing his training partner Ryder Hesjedal (CAN, Subaru Gary Fisher) cross the finish line in second place made the win that much sweeter. Kashi Leuchs, (NZL, Volvo-Cannondale) who led a large portion of the race finished 3rd and dreadlocked Seamus McGrath (CAN, Haro/Lee Dungarees) gave the Canadians another place on the podium in 4th.
'96 Gold medalist Bart Brentjens (NED, Giant Bicycle) showed he's still in form finishing in 5th.
