May 26, 2006 – Some of the world’s top pro women road cyclists hit the slopes of Mont Royal tomorrow at the Montreal World Cup, round #7 of the UCI Women’s Road World Cup. The women will start racing at 1:30pm tomorrow and the winner should be crossing the line three hours later, after having ridden 100km on the tough Mont Royal course.

Defending champion Genevieve Jeanson is not racing due to a lifetime suspension for doping, and her arch-rival Lyne Bessette will not be riding either, having announced her retirement earlier this week. Be sure to check back at pedalmag.com for complete race reports and photos.
