Posted by on 29 September 2011 | 0 Comments

Hammer Nutrition/CMG Racing Team member Colby Wait-Molyneux rode in his first world championships last week. Colby's worlds participation was after an extensive period of European racing with the Junior National Team based in Belgium. During the lead up to the worlds Colby participated in three stage races and 6 one-day events. The extended period of time abroad and number of races he rode did not have the desired effect of getting him in the best condition possible, but rather weakened him. Another factor was the length of this season.

Colby's performance in both events were not his best considering that his results in the events leading up to the worlds were better. The experience was positive for Colby. Considering he is a 17 year old also makes him eligible for a spot on the 2012 Junior Worlds Team. Colby's true potential was displayed on many occasions this season. A highlight was beating the second and seventh places finishers at this years worlds earlier in the season in the Canadian Nations Cup event Tour de l' Abitibi.
