In Canada for a training camp he is conducting this weekend in Laval, Elton de Souza took part in the first event of the Mercredis roller de Laval, a 15km race organized by VRL le club every wednesday evening until the end of summer.
Other than de Souza, Canadian team members Julien Armand and Maxime St-Jules, French junior skater Marick Guerinel, well known skater on the Canadian scene Jérôme Comtois-Urbain and 10 other inline skaters took part in this 15km race.
A group of four skaters composed of St-Jules, Armand, Guerinel and de Souza quickly formed at the start of the race. There was a lot of attacks during the race until the group started to split. Elton de Souza finally won the race in solo after a strategic attack. St-Jules and Guerinel completed the podium.
