No huge surprise that Michael Barry, with his seventh place at the Championship of Zurich and victory in the first stage of the Tour of Spain, took the Best Cyclist Overall. Hot on his tail was Canadian stalwart Alison Sydor, followed by Olympic silver medalist Marie-Hélène Prémont. Barry also took best Road Cyclist, which was won by Quebec’s Lyne Bessette in the female category.
