Team Rocky Mountain-Haywood's World Cup pros Max Plaxton and Marie-Helene Premont dominated the cross-country today at the second round of the Canada Cup in Bromont, Quebec. Both riders rode away from their respective fields to win. Premont leads the Canada Cup standings for women with a perfect win record, while another Rocky Mountain-Haywood rider - Raphael Gagne - takes over the men's lead from Neal Kindree (Kona) after finishing third.
