Walton Trans Can Photo Report

By James Lissimore

 

  This is not the most timely photo report I've ever put up but after finally getting a chance to process all the images that I shot over the course of the 2010 Parts Canada Walton Trans Can I figure better late than never to bring you the riders that won their classes at this year's event. I've got a lot more shots on my website so hit up this link to check to check out a bigger slice of the week that was the Trans-Can: http://jkliss.photoshelter.com/gallery/2010-Walton-Trans-Can/G0000a8CCepwU9.4/

After watching him all weekend, there's no doubt that Cole Thompson is Canada's fastest Amateur rider right now. Even when he got a bad start it didn't take him long to work his way to the front. His smooth, calm style is a dead ringer for Colton Facciotti and the future looks bright for the Ontario native.
