The dust has settled on Bancroft’s rural roads, following The Rally of the Tall Pines and a familiar team took to the podium as the winner.
Jérôme Mailloux and co-driver Philippe Poirier formed the top team at Saturday’s event, which took place in front of hundreds, if not thousands, of fans.

In second, was the team of Jean-Sébastien Besner and Yvan Joyal, both Montrealers, in a time of 1:32.32.5.
Marc-André Brsebois and Marie-france Desmarais, both from Quebec, came in third with a time of 1:36:02.7.
