                                        Current UCI Cyclocross world-rankings include two OCTTO-sponsored riders, the "Dynamic Duo" of Derrick St.John and Natasha Elliot.

                                        Ms. Elliot is the 2nd-ranked individual Canadian among the Elite Women at 16th spot, behind Wendy Simms who is also ranked 1st worldwide.  Canada is ranked 3rd in the Elite Women's Nation standings, thanks to these ladies.

                                        DSJ is the 3rd ranked Canadian man and 33rd overall among Elite Men.  In the men's Nation's rankings, Canada is ranked a remarkable 5th, ahead of traditional 'cross powerhouses of Switzerland, France and Italy.

                                        DSJ mentioned tto OCTTO-News:
                                        "Tasha says she loves the OCTTO bar tape...it is good luck.  I love it cause it washes easy and she gets it dirty all the time."

                                        Cyclocross Nationals - Derrick St. Bronze 10/22/2008
                                        0 Comments
                                         

                                        Derrick St. John, riding OCTTO Components, placed 3rd at the Canadian National Cyclocross Championships in Edmonton, Alberta.

                                        Geoff Kabush, the 2-time Olympian, took the gold and the national champ's red-and-white jersey.

                                        DSJ finished a meagre 47 seconds behind the veteran Kabush.  While Kabush and the second-place finisher worked together at the head of the race, DSJ chased solo after one of his trademark-starts and almost reigned the pair in.

                                        As DSJ remarked to OCTTO-News prior to the race:
                                        "Today is going to be M-E-N-T-A-L!  The course is like a circuit race/crit/cross race....my specialty!"

                                        DSJ's race-report is on his blog.
