Since I'm not going to Sonoma I was thinking about heading to Whistler a weekend early to race the Canada Cup and Crankworx. So my question is can you race the Canada Cup on Sunday July 23 without being a Canadian citizen?
Canada Cup only for Canadians?

- Start date
Anyone can race the Canada Cups, you just need a UCI license($150) from USA Cycling. I have raced the Bromont Canada Cup a few times, easily one of the best races I have ever been to.
yes indeed.
I'm not too sure about this one.... I know that you can race any Canada Cup series race, but the race at Whistler is the Canadian Nationals.... I'm not sure if you can race and your result won't count, or they will only allow Canadians to race? I'm sure Transcend will be able to answer your question, he seems to know alot about these types of rules.
Ouch. Can I get a one-day? Or is paying $150 my only option for racing in Canada? I remember I didn't need one for racing Crankworx last year.DHCorky said:
if you already have a norba license its only $90 for the international upgrade, still a lot though.black noise said:
Last year they did not let non Canadians race the National Championship, just as we were not allowed to race Mammoth. I am assuming this will be the case this year.
You cannot get a 1day to race internationally.

Was just looking at the results from Fernie Canada Cup. Glyn O'Brien (Ireland) did race in the Elite division. Same case with the Canada Cup Final in Sun Peaks. So I guess you dont have to be Canadian to race.
this is the official word
Non Canadian citizens CANNOT race the national championships in whistler, every other race the CAN race
Glyn raced the canada cup final, this simply the final canada cup, not the nationals

There you have it. Any word on when Cworx is opening up registration?sirbikealot said:
Oh for chrissakes.....I'll go up that weekend anyway and ride the other open trails....or does Whistler shut the door on everyone for solidarity reasons during the 21st - 23rd???? Then I'll do Crankworkz after I've gotten my fill of goofing off.......
I highly doubt Whistler will close the park down. The race course will be Canadians only. Mid week there is the air DH, biker cross, slopestyle and then finally garbanzo the next weekend.Secret Squirrel said:Oh for chrissakes.....I'll go up that weekend anyway and ride the other open trails....or does Whistler shut the door on everyone for solidarity reasons during the 21st - 23rd????

the canada cup course cuts off two other DH trails but all the high travel trails like A-line, Dirt merchant, , garbanzo, crabapple hits etc are fine, not to worry
June, they want to assess garbanzo, there is a lot of freakin snow up there right now, people are skiing everyday up thereTranscend said:
Ah that makes sense. I am really looking forward to racing garbanzo, so hopefully it is a go.sirbikealot said:
