great pedal mag interview
Joanie Caron – Nanoblur-Gears – 8th place in Stage 4
On Saturday morning we got the news that after Stage 4 the paramedics had tended to Carrie Cartnill of Nanoblur-Gears. We spoke to Joanie Caron to check up on her teammate as well as to congratulate her on her 8th place in the Minneapolis Criterium:
You finished 8th on Friday evening in the Minneapolis Crit – you must have been pleased with that result.
Joanie Caron: Yes, I’m happy, it’s my second Top 10 in an NRC stage this year. For sure I’m not entirely satisfied and I want more for the weekend. Hopefully it will come today but yesterday was a good race.
Tell us what happened to Carrie yesterday.
JC: She had a problem with asthma. She raced part of the stage but had a very, very hard time breathing and was feeling very dizzy so she literally fell on the grass. But she’s feeling better now but she won’t be racing. Hopefully she’ll be back soon.
Will she be in the team car?
JC: Yeah and we’ll use her energy today in the race!
That’s great, good luck today.
JC: Thank you.
