September 23, 2014 (Ottawa, ON) – Cycling Canada announced today that Lex Albrecht has been added to the women’s road team that will compete at the 2014 UCI Road World Championships in Ponferrada, Spain this coming weekend.

The decision came about today by Cycling Canada when the athlete launched a second appeal of her non-selection to the team.

Cycling Canada has determined that the time between now and the women’s road race this Saturday would not allow for the appeal process to be completed in time to allow her to be a positive contributor to the team had she been successful in that second appeal.

The athlete will now travel to Spain immediately to join the team to benefit from the maximum amount of team preparation time in advance of Saturday’s race.
