December 29, 2018 (Toronto, ON) – Voting is well underway in ALL categories for Pedal Magazine‘s Annual 2018 Cycling Awards honouring Canada’s top riders from this past season.

The race for Best Overall Cyclist (Male or Female) is a 3-way battle between Michael Woods, Emily Batty and Shelley Gautier all duking it out for the top spot. Woods is currently leading but the chasers are close behind.

Batty and Woods are leading the Best Overall Senior/U23 Female and Male categories but Karol-Ann Canuel and the Men’s Team Pursuit are challenging, with Hugo Barrette and Maghalie Rochette also in the mix.

The Junior Men’s and Women’s races are also very close with Simone Boilard leading the junior women’s category, while in the junior men it’s a virtual three-way tie with Colton Woods, Ben Katerberg neck and neck, and Holden Jones nipping at their heels.

It’s Men vs Women for the Best Track Senior Cyclist (Male or Female) award as the two Team Pursuit squads are tied in the lead… but don’t count out Derek Gee or Allison Beveridge just yet.

Batty may lock up the Best MTB XC Senior/U23 Cyclist (Male or Female) but Raphael Gagne and Catharine Pendrel are in the hunt and may turn the tables on her when the dust settles.

It’s almost a mirror image for the Best CX Senior/U23 Cyclist (Male or Female) with Ruby West vs Jenn Jackson for the lead followed closely by Maghalie Rochette.

And Daina Tuchscherer may dethrone Tory Nyhaug for the Best BMX Cyclist (Male or Female) while Gautier battles Tristan Chernove, Charlse Moreau and Michael Sametz for the Best Paracycling Cyclist (Male or Female).

It’s still too early to call anything so don’t miss your chance to make your voice heard and recognize ALL of the top talent in Canada from juniors, to seniors, to U23’s and paracyclists – from all disciplines including road, MTB, DH, cyclocross, track and BMX.
