Canada AX Tour – Round 4 Practice Photos

By Billy Rainford

Round 4 at Hiawatha Park in Sarnia, Ontario, is underway. The weather was perfect this afternoon for a full schedule of amateur racing and Pro practice and qualifying. Here are a few photos of the action before we go live to air tonight at around 7:10.

Watling leads Cannella and Ward into the whoops.

Currently residing in the “Where are they now?” file, Emile ‘Squid’ Cooper was back in action and won a moto today.

Young Ben Kongmany looked great this afternoon.

Younger of the Scott brothers, Hunter was the first little bike to clear the finish line double.

The 150 Trailbike moto blasts off the gate. #100 Kyle Davis took the win

This moto ended with #184 Tanner Ward making a classic block pass on #424 Austin Watling on the final lap.

This was the move.

#114 Quinn Amyotte.

#64 Mitch Goheen grabs a holeshot. As I’m typing this, Mitch just received a black flag for some rough riding with his #14 Kyle Brown.

Steph LeBlanc before practice.

Team PR-MX’s Julien before practice.

#3 Karl Normand is having a blast racing arenacross here.

#100 Jacob Hayes.

#148 Cole Thompson during practice.

#464 Kyle Keast at the end of the whoop section. His AX Pro main battle with Normand was a good one last night.

#20 Dylan Wright took a hard fall in the whoops this afternoon. He rode the next qualifier but we saw him with his shoulder wrapped just a few minutes ago…

#10 Nathan Bles expects a lot of himself and wants to get more aggressive in the motos.

Champion keeping glow.

Hayes is running the red plates tonight in Lites.

#373 Jacob Williamson in the rhythm section.

Whatever this is, it’s working.

Thompson and Hayes played cat and mouse in practice today. A meeting with the officials took place with all parties present. We’ll see what happens tonight.
