Living in the lower mainland we have the luxury of watching some of the best riders around the world compete in what is known as BC Superweek taking place the first week in July of each year.

Now we are hearing that two top Canadian riders Allison Beveridge and Jasmin Duehring have placed fourth (4th) and fifth (5th) overall, respectively, at the conclusion of the Six (6) Day Berlin competition held the last week of January.

It should be noted that both of the two Olympic Bronze medalists have been so successful they are competing at the Berlin and Copenhagen Six Day races.

These are set to take place running from January 25th and February 4th which is a part of their preparation for the UCI Track Cycling World Championships that are taking place at the end of February.

Beveridge won the overall Omnium on day 2 of competition, as well as finishing second with Duehring in the Madison on day 3.  

Duehring had wins in the Points Race (day 1) and Tempo Race (day 2).

“Just like London [Six Day], it was a really strong field. It’s really encouraging to get some good results, but there were some big names missing, like the British team, so we still have a lot of work to do leading into the world championships,” said Duehring.

Beveridge agreed with her teammate, saying “We definitely had some ups and downs over the days, but it was good to take some wins and we’re looking forward to Copenhagen next week and the world championships in a month.”
