Evan Russell (Global 6 Cycling) secured the elite men's title at the Canadian Cyclocross Championships on Saturday in Saanich, British Columbia.

Russell won solo with a 10-second margin ahead of runner-up Luke Valenti (Team Ecoflo Chronos), while Tyler Clark (Hockley Valley Armada) took third place on the day.

Russell gained a small gap on the others as Valenti suffered a mechanical, but the Team Ecoflo Chronos rider recovered from the setback and reconnected with Russell on the penultimate lap.
