October 9, 2003 (Hamilton, ON) – The Elite Men are set to begin the race for the ITT Rainbow jersey at 12PM. There are many favourites for today's race, including Americans Levi Leipheimer and Bobby Julich; Olympic Champion Viatcheslav Ekimov (Russia); Aussie Michael Rogers; German Uwe Peschel; Scot David Millar; and finally German Michael Rich. The men will head over two laps of the hilly 20.7k course, with a beautiful day in sight. It's sunny and cloudless, and the wind doesn't seem quite as strong as yesterday…
