Veilleux will compete this coming week at the 2006 UCI Road Worlds in Salzburg, Austria, Sept. 19-24.

Estonian terror Rein Taraamae (RO St-Amand) finished 12 seconds back, five seconds ahead of Canada’s Bradley Fairall (Symmetrics), who finished fifth at 17 seconds (Fairall is also competing for Canada at the 2006 UCI Road Worlds in Salzburg, Austria, Sept. 19-24).
