Canadians Isabella Holmgren (Lidl-Trek) and Ian Ackert (Trek Future Racing) captured C2 sprint victories in respective elite women's and elite men's races at Thunder Cross in Missoula, Montana on Saturday.

Holmgren accelerated away from compatriot Sidney McGill to win the women's six-lap race at Big Sky Park. 

Ackert went head-to-head with Scott Funston (Cervelo Orange Living) for the majority of the eight-lap elite men's race and narrowly defeated the US rider on the final stretch of pavement. 

Thunder Cross C2 racing served as a tune-up for Sunday's Pan-American Cyclocross Championships.
