Photo of the Day: Great Competion Can Build Strong Friendships

  Simon Andreassen (left) and Raphael Gagne congratulate each other at the end of the Kenda Cup this past weekend. Simon finished first with Gagne second in the Pro Men’s race, with more than 100 riders signed up in the class. Andreassen, though only 18, is Denmark’s most promising young pro, while Gagne is looking like Canada’s top male cross-country racer at this time. Fellow Canadian Geoff Kabush took third on the podium this day, while America’s top pros finished farther back. Photo: JK/Mountain Bike Action
