Pro Cycle held their annual Show-n-shine event on Thursday where a few top riders were signing autographs ahead of this weekend’s third round of the Canadian Superbike Championship (CSBK), which is returning to the east coast for the first time in three years.

Riders present and signing autographs at the event included last year’s first-place winner Pro Superbike racer Alex Duma, and Pro Superbike racer Trevor Daley.

Last year, Dumas made history when he became the youngest champion in the Pro Superbike class of the Canadian Superbike Championship with a clean sweep at Calabogie Motorsports Park in Ontario, the longest motorcycle track in Canada.

"Last year, I won the championship in superbike, I've been racing for about seven years. It's my first time here in the east of Canada, so I'm excited. It's a new track for me, and it's going to be pretty fun," Dumas said.

For the competition, Dumas will be riding on his Suzuki GSX R1000 which he has been racing on for about three years.

The race this weekend marks Trevor Daley's ten-year mark of competing in the Canadian Superbike series.

"It's great to be back here. It's been three years and to see the enthusiasm that everyone has out here in Halifax is just awesome. I'm looking forward to seeing a great crowd this weekend," Daley said.

Daley also owns a motorcycle custom fabrication shop.
