November 30, 2018 (Mont-Tremblant, QC) – Crossroads Tremblant, Eastern Canada’s new road and mountain biking festival, is back for a second year after a highly successful inaugural event in 2018. From May 24 to 26, 2019, a multitude of cycling events, competitions and activities will once again take over the Laurentian resort. New additions for kids, women and adventure seekers are set to grow the event into an even larger celebration in 2019.

Some 7,000 cycling enthusiasts from all disciplines gathered last spring for the ultimate kickoff of the season. The new event format offered a rare opportunity for roadies and mountain bikers to meet up and share their passion for the sport during an action-packed weekend. “Tremblant’s reputation as a prime cycling destination is growing for both road and mountain biking with its smooth roads and wide shoulders, trail network development, recreational bike paths and pump tracks for kids and families to enjoy,” said Crossroads Tremblant organizer Simon St-Arnaud.

Gran Fondo Mont-Tremblant: Early Registration Now Open

On Saturday, May 25, 2019, close to 2,000 road cyclists split in 12 different pelotons are expected take the challenge in their favourite distances to discover the breathtaking landscapes of the Upper Laurentians. A secure environment, riding in a group and camaraderie amongst cyclists are at the heart of this event. For more info visit here.

November 26, 2018 (Toronto, Ont.) – Toronto Hustle is breaking new ground with an exciting women’s program in 2019. The initiative follows the success of the relatively new squad that burst on the scene in 2017 with a strong crew of riders including Anton Varabei, Trevor O’Donnell and Yuri Hrycaj along with rising stars Kurt Penno and Noah Simms.

The team’s philosophy resonates in their welcoming message on social media here to female riders. “We ride to be strong. We ride to break down barriers and get more females on bikes. We ride to make new friends, have shared experiences and to advocate for safer streets. We don’t train just to race, we train to push our limits and be our best selves.”

“If you want to help grow the women’s cycling community, we want to hear from you.” Interested riders are requested to email torontohustle.media@gmail.com by Dec 7 with 250 words + a photo that describes why you ride. #womenwhohustle

The socially conscious team was founded by Brad Bradford, who was recently the elected as Councillor for Beaches/EastYork at Toronto City Council. Bradford worked in Toronto’s Chief Planner’s Office for three years as an urban planner. In May he won the Quinte Criterium Ontario Road Cup #6 in Trenton, Ont. or on

November 23, 2018 – The goal of the CX Fever Fund, is to share our passion for cyclocross. We believe that when someone finds their passion, it gives them a purpose to work hard and become a better version of themselves. In other words, passionate people are happy people, and we like happy people! We also want to support up-and-coming racers by helping them live enriching experiences that can hopefully make a positive difference in their career.

In 2017, we offered a grant of a $1,500 financial value to an up-and-coming CX rider. The grant recipient got to come to the PanAmerican Championships with the CLIF Pro Team and become a member of the team for a weekend of racing. The goal was to share our experience and ressources with her so she can see what it’s like to be on a professional CX team.

Although this was a successful experience last year, the Fund will take a different approach this season.

“With the change of team and the creation of the CXFever p/b Specialized program, and because we were going to be away in Europe for a big part of the season, David and I didn’t have the time or ressources to do the same type of project as we did last year. But we still wanted to keep the Fund alive and do our part to help young racers in Canada.”

“This year, we will offer two $500 grants to young, ambitious, and passionate cyclocross riders from Canada.”

“This year, I feel like the Fever is stronger than ever in Canada. I’ve never seen that much enthusiasm for our sport here, and that makes me really happy.”

“I hope we can keep spreading the Fever even more.”

“Many people contributed to the Fund by purchasing CXFever merchandise throughout the season, or by donating to the Fund. I think that expresses well the tight-knit community that cyclocross is. We are excited to be able to give back. If someone can benefit from the grant, all those trips to the post office (to ship CXFever merchandise) will be worth it… haha!”

Application 

To apply to the Fund, you must be a Junior or U23 rider and need to have participated at the 2018 National Championships in the Junior or U23 category.

The two recipients will be chosen based on their short application video. We want to know why you have the Fever and what is your ambition in cyclocross.

For more details on how to apply, please follow this link here.

The deadline for application is December 7th, 2018.

November 23, 2018 (Hamilton, Ont.) – The National Cycling Centre Hamilton (NCCH) has announced six Canadians who have joined the new international X-Speed Continental Team in a groundbreaking partnership with Australia and Hong Kong unveiled last month to provide previously unattainable opportunities for riders – read more on  here.

Veteran Ryan Roth, a former national RR champion, Edward Walsh the reigning U23 Canadian road jersey holder , William Elliott, Nicholas Diniz (NCCH Elite Male Rider of the Year), Martin Rupes and Evan Burtnik are slated to race on the new squad.

 

 

November 21, 2018 (Tel- Aviv, Israel) – Israel Cycling Academy’s special Canadian connection just grew stronger after the team decided to offer a Pro contract to Canadian TT specialist and GC contender Alex Cataford and bring back its Canadian rider Benjamin Perry for a third season with the team. The two will be Joining ICA’s Veteran Canadian Guillaume Boivin.

The Israeli team already enjoys a strong bond with Canadian cycling, led by its Canadian Israeli philanthropist co-owner Sylvan Adams, a Montreal native and avid cyclist who immigrated to Israel and turned his passion for cycling and devotion to Israel to a driving force with ICA.

“ICA has a special connection to Canada, because of my roots and connections there, “ said Mr. Adams. “We now boast three riders from Canada, the second most after our Israeli contingent. “

“In 2016, the Canadian and Israeli men’s and women’s National teams held a joint training camp in the Negev desert to mimic climatic conditions before the World Championships in Qatar, and a special bond was created between the two countries.”

“When we race at World Tour races GPCQM in Quebec City and Montreal, we are considered a “second home” team after the Canadian National team, due to the presence of our Canadian riders, Canadian Sports director Paulo Saldanha and our   Canadian co owner who also has a few friends and fans in Canada of course. I’m excited about this connection, as ICA has a lot of support in Canada and hopefully it will only grow.”

For the 25 year-old Cataford who raced previously with North American teams Silber and United health Care, this will be the first opportunity he gets to race full time in Europe. But it goes even beyond that: He had suffered a horrific racing crash in 2014 and the ICA move is seen as a personal victory on its own.

Cataford Recalls the chain of events: “I joined the Canadian Junior national team, where I was junior national champ 6 times, and my career really took off from there. However, I did have a big setback in 2014, early in the year I was hit by a car in training, broke my neck, jaw and had several other serious injuries. Over the course of the year I had to undergo three surgeries and could not race the whole year. However, I trained hard afterwards and came back stronger than before. Since then I have enjoyed some good results, including several podiums at the Canadian TT championships, 2nd overall at the Tour of the Gila and other UCI stage race podiums. Despite my results, I still think my greatest achievement was getting back on the bike after my serious accident in 2014.”

Cataford expressed his confidence that he is ready for the challenge: “I am a strong time trialist, and can hold my own in the climbs as well. These skills do make me a good stage racer in the general classification. However, I like to think of myself as a very versatile rider who can fit into many different roles in the team. I love the sport of cycling because it is a sport that rewards the most dedicated and hard-working athletes, qualities that I believe I have. My goals are to race the biggest races in the world, hopefully one day the big monuments and the Tour de France.”

The first Israeli Pro team ever has indeed set its aim towards a Tour de France invitation in the coming seasons by thriving to become one of the top Pro continental teams in the world. It had already upgraded the 2019 Squad significantly by adding quality sprinters like French Rudy Barbier, Davide Cimolai and Riccardo Minali amongst others.

ICA Team Performance Director Paulo Saldanha claimed that Cataford will prove his worth: “ Alex is a versatile rider who has shown very good development in his last few years. Alex is a strong TT rider, he can be a GC and single day threat and is a developing climber. He has played a key role as a support rider for his UHC squad. Alex is a smart guy (degree in physics) and eager to learn with an open mindset. He will continue to evolve and with his excellent engine size, we hope that he will become a key piece of the ICA squad for years to come.”

The decision to bring back Benjamin Perry for a third year, Explained Saldanha, was based on Perry’s progress: “Ben had a much-improved season from his first one. He has continued to evolve as a rider with multiple 2nd and 4th places in various races. He has finished 16 times in top 20 this season. Ben is a hard-working Canadian athlete who still has some developing to do but if he continues to improve like he did last year he will be able to play multiple roles as a potential threat in single day races, break away rider and a good team mate. “

The 24-year-old rider from Ontario was enthusiastic: “I am so excited to see what the 2019 season has in store for Israel Cycling Academy, and I am so stoked to be a part of that. Jobs were scarce this year with the disappearance of a few teams, and, despite the abundance of available riders, I feel proud that Israel Cycling Academy chose me.”

“My last two years with the Academy have been a whirlwind; being new to European racing is a learning curve. I learned a lot about my strengths as an individual but more importantly how to be a better teammate. To be racing with and against some of the biggest names in sport has added on new layers and dimensions to my craft. I am so excited to keep perfecting this sport that I love so much.”

Perry was also delighted to team with his fellow Ontario native Cataford: “Alex and I have been friends for many years. We are both Ontario boys who first met at provincials in 2009; this was just my second bike race ever. Alex set the bar high by winning solo that day. We have had a few epic days out front in the break together, and our riding styles really complement one another. Reconnecting with an old teammate and good friend is the happiest coincidence I can think of.”

November 21, 2018 (Peterborough, Ont.) – As the 2018 Shimano Canadian Cyclocross Championships presented by Trek / Wild Rock wrapped up late Sunday afternoon, organizers and athletes alike were calling the event an overwhelming success. A crown jewel of the Canadian cyclocross calendar, the 3-day event attracted past Canadian champions, Olympic medallists, and nearly 500 riders from across Canada and two American states, competing for both national championships and valuable UCI points.

“Athletes were quick to praise the event, the venue, the course and the volunteers, with many quick to call it one of their favourite Canadian championship experiences, one that they were keen to return to in 2019,” John Hauser, Event Chief notes. The athletes were joined by approximately 5,000 spectators over the weekend, along with thousands more watching the Saturday livestream.

Echoing the athlete’s sentiments, Josh Peacock, Cycling Canada’s Events Manager adds, “The 2018 Shimano Canadian Cyclocross Championship event held in Peterborough was easily one of the top highlights of our 2018 national calendar. We were thrilled by the level of support received by the local community not only at the municipal level, but also by the unprecedented number of volunteers who supported the success of this event. Online viewers tuned into the video livestream from all over the world, with just shy of 6,000 views from 20 different nations taking in the action. We are already looking forward to returning to Peterborough in 2019 for the second edition of this event.”

An early economic impact study projects the event to contribute in excess of $250,000 to the local economy, particularly welcome as it occurred late in the shoulder season when visitor numbers are traditionally low. The event also aligns strongly with tourism efforts over the last several years aimed at defining the Kawarthas as a cycling destination.

Following the event, crews were quick to begin course tear-down with the full park open by 9:00pm Sunday evening. Monday saw most of the remaining equipment removed, and some initial land remediation work done. “From eye-level, the effect of cyclocross on the land immediately following a race is pretty high-impact. At ground level, though, it’s quite the opposite, and very low impact on the root structure and ground,” explains John. “The first precipitation following the race will wash the grass down, allow the ground to settle out again, and about 95% of the course will remediate naturally.” The remaining sections will be remediated by the Peterborough Cycling Club/PTBO CX organizers.

November 20, 2018 (Cope Town, Ont.) – A packed house was on hand on Saturday, Nov. 17 at the Beverly Gold and Country Club in Cope Town to share a glass at the annual National Cycling Centre Hamilton (NCCH) 2018 Awards banquet to honour athletes while commemorating another great season of success.

Kaitlyn Rauwerda took home the Athlete of the Year award along with the Elite Rider of the Year Fem of the Year crown as well. Nicolas Diniz was the winner of the Elite Rider of the Year Male. Part of the evening included a panel of NCCH athletes who spoke about their experiences during the 2018 season. For more information click here.

November 19, 2018 (Suffern, N.Y.) — Extremely muddy conditions from snowmelt were on hand for a second day of racing at Rockland County Supercross Cup. It was the third consecutive year racing was held at Rockland Community College, located an hour from New York City in the southernmost county of the Empire State on the west side of the Hudson River.

Racers competed for UCI Category 2 points in the USA Cycling Pro Cyclocross Calendar (ProCX). It was also the sixth of eight events in the 2018 Vittoria Northeast Cyclocross Series presented by Clif Bar and Cycle-Smart.

Rebecca Fahringer (Concord, N.H./Kona Maxxis Shimano) charged away from the Elite Women’s field of 23 riders to claim her first ProCX win of the 2018 season. Curtis White (Delanson, N.Y./Cannondale p/b CyclocrossWorld) went two-for-two for the weekend to sweep the Elite Men’s races. Sunday was his sixth consecutive victory of the season in a Vittoria Series event.

After a heartbreaking runner-up finish on day one of Supercross Cup, Fahringer predicted a battle for the win on day two. After taking the silver and her sixth ProCX podium on Saturday, she said, “So the second place for Rebecca Fahringer still stands as my intro, but it’s ‘on’ tomorrow.”

Six inches of snow fell on Suffern and the college campus on Nov. 15. Temperatures moderated into the mid-40s for the weekend, creating a soggy course both days.

“Coming into today, I think everyone was a bit like, ‘oh crap, we’re out here doing this again,” said Fahringer with a laugh. “It was pretty chilly, the mud was thicker, there was more running. My heart wasn’t in it, but as soon as the gun goes off, that’s when you start to really find it (going for the win). I wasn’t quite sure after a bad start if it was going to happen for me. I just kept trudging through.”

Fahringer would make her winning move on the second lap of the five-lap race. She would grab a 15-second advantage on that lap, and never relent the lead.

“I passed Ruby, and she was breathing pretty hard,” noted Fahringer, who is ranked second overall in the ProCX standings. “And I said, ‘this is going to be my day.’ And I just tried to ride smooth and hope that she didn’t charge forward like she did yesterday.”

Fahringer won in a time of 50 minutes, 4 seconds. She would gain time each lap on Ruby West (Hamilton, Ont./Specialized-Tenspeed Hero), who would finish more than 4 minutes back for second place. West, who won the Saturday race for elite women, said she felt the fatigue of her winning effort from the day before.

“The course was run backwards today. I think there was a little more running. The mud was thicker today. Yesterday was like big puddles of water, and thin mud,” the 19-year-old Canadian said. “Today was just thick mud, and with running, your legs were getting heavy. I think the wear from yesterday had accumulated.”

“I think I was eager after yesterday to kind of get a better first lap, try to pick my own lines and do my own thing first lap. So I tried to get out front and not really worry about what other people were doing. That worked for the first lap. I think Rebecca (Fahringer) and I got a bit of a gap. I had a bit of a gap on her at one point, but I wasn’t attacking to get away. I was just kind of trying to do my own thing.

“Then she and I got back together. I think she literally just went around me and rode away. Like, I had less than nothing to offer today! So, my legs were totally empty from yesterday. I just did as much as I could, but Rebecca was so strong, and she was gone. I was focused on trying to stay upright and move forward as fast as possible, even though that wasn’t very fast. I did what I could. I am happy with second today. It’s been a good weekend.

When Fahringer put on the pressure at lap number two, West simply could not respond.

“I think she literally just went around me and rode away. I had less than nothing to offer today! So, my legs were totally empty from yesterday. I just did as much as I could, but Rebecca was so strong, and she was gone. I was focused on trying to stay upright and move forward as fast as possible, even though that wasn’t very fast. I did what I could. I am happy with second today. It’s been a good weekend,” West added.

Supercross Cup would prove to be a breakout ride for Jane Rossi (Newburyport, Mass./Rhode Island School of Design) as she secured her first ProCX podium of the year. Rossi finished 4 minutes, 58 seconds behind Fahringer for third. Canadian Magdeleine Vallieres (Sherbrooke, Que./Quebecor-Stingray), who was third on Saturday, finished four seconds behind Rossi for fourth on Sunday.

“It’s been a learning curve this season, learning how to do starts. I’m still trying to figure it out,” said Rossi. “So every first lap has been a struggle. It was a lot of fighting to get back today. You can make up a lot of spots with just one short maneuver. The last couple of laps it was just staying really smooth and trying not to make any mistakes and no mechanicals. So, that was huge.”

Fahringer planned to continue her season at NBX Gran Prix of Cyclocross after Thanksgiving. She would then compete at the USA Cycling Cyclocross National Championships in Louisville, Ky., which will be held Dec. 11-16, 2018.

While 15 of the 26 Elite Women completed all laps, the Elite Men’s contest saw more attrition due to the slick, mucky conditions. Just six of the 23 riders who started for the men were able to complete the eight laps on Sunday. A lead group would unfold in a similar fashion to the first day, with White and Kerry Werner (Birdsboro, Penn./Kona Maxxis Shimano) at the front.

“It was a lot of running today,” said White, who wore a mud-splattered Vittoria Series leader’s jersey to a solo victory. “(I was) just trying to be as smooth as you can carrying the momentum. The first couple of laps I just tried to see what guys like Kerry (Werner) and Cooper Willsey were doing, learn from their lines. Then I just gave it the diesel and gaps started opening up pretty steadily after that. I got a flat tire late in the race, but it didn’t really affect things. It actually felt like I was hooking up better on the off camber, less (tire) pressure. It worked out very well.”

White spent 1 hour, 5 minutes, 43 seconds in the mud to earn another win. Werner, who took second to White in the same race in 2017, finished 2 minutes, 35 seconds back on Sunday for silver.

“I would say if yesterday was a swim meet, today was the Supercross Cup tough mudder. Man, I don’t know what percentage of the course was running today, but it had to be over half,” said Werner, who is the men’s leader in ProCX points.

Werner was side by side with White in early laps. It was not until the third lap on the course that White created separation and began opening a gap to Werner. “I was able to keep up, maybe the first three laps or so. But then Curtis (White) was just beating me, hard on the running sections. It was all I could do. It was tough conditions out there.”

Like Saturday, a battle for third place ensued between three riders – Merwin Davis (Star City, W.V./Cycle-Smart), Sam Noel (Shelburne, Vt./UVM Cycling / Cannondale Cyclocross) and Cooper Willsey (Hinesburg, Vt./Furman University). For the second day in a row, Davis emerged with the bronze medal, finishing 4 minutes, 18 seconds behind White. He would hold off Noel in the middle laps to maintain third place. Noel, the U23 leader for men in the Vittoria Series, would finish fourth. Willsey would finish fifth.

“I approached both days kind of the same – go out strong, hang with Curtis (White) and Kerry (Werner) as long as I could. And then from there just settle in, minimize my mistakes and try to keep Sam (Noel) and Cooper (Willsey) at bay,” exclaimed Davis. “I had one mechanical, dropped my chain and slid out in one turn the following lap. So that is when he (Noel) probably got the closest to me. Then I knew I had to put a couple of digs in.”

The Vittoria Series will conclude at Goddard Memorial State Park with the NBX Gran Prix of Cyclocross in Warwick, R.I., Dec. 1-2. White extended his lead to 300 points after his sweep. Ellen Noble (Kennebunkport, Maine/Trek Factory Racing CX) did not compete in New York, but remained in the Vittoria Series leader’s jersey for Elite Women with 150 points.

“Things are still on the ups, so I’ll be training over Thanksgiving,” added White. “I won’t be eating too much turkey, just getting the work in and Stars-and-Stripes is the goal.”

November 17, 2018 (Suffern, N.Y.) — A significant snow storm dumped more than six inches of frozen precipitation on Suffern, N.Y. two days prior to the 16th edition of Rockland County Supercross Cup. As temperatures warmed into the mid-40s Saturday, elite athletes were greeted by cold, sloppy, slushy mud on the course at Rockland Community College.

It is the third year Supercross Cup has been held in Suffern. Racers competed for the coveted Verge leader’s jerseys in the Vittoria Northeast Cyclocross Series presented by Clif Bar and Cycle-Smart, as well as for UCI Category 2 points in USA Cycling’s Pro Cyclocross Calendar (ProCX).

Ruby West (Hamilton, Ont./Specialized-Tenspeed Hero) battled the No. 2-ranked ProCX rider, Rebecca Fahringer (Concord, N.H./Kona Maxxis Shimano), to take the win on day one for the elite women. Curtis White (Delanson, N.Y./Cannondale p/b CyclocrossWorld) settled a score from 2018 and won the elite men’s competition.

“It was just a crazy day out there,” said West about the mud that developed from melted snow. “The conditions were changing every lap. There were really no lines to follow, just everyone fighting themselves on the course more than each other.”

West would lead the Elite Women’s race early, then struggle on the course on the middle laps, falling 21 seconds behind Rebecca Fahringer (Kona Maxxis Shimano).

“I got the holeshot on lap one, and then just as soon as we went into the mud I panicked. The first lap was really rough for me, I was just not riding well,” said the Canadian, who hasn’t competed in ProCX events since Rochester Cyclocross in early September. “I dropped my chain, and Becca (Fahringer) got a gap. I was just losing my mind. Then the second lap I kind of recollected, got into a rhythm, started riding my own race and not worrying about her. As the laps went on, I got more and more comfortable with the course and was able to kind of find my own lines and make up some time with some running sections.”

It wasn’t until the final lap that West was able to close the gap to Fahringer, who currently sits second overall in ProCX points and seventh in the Vittoria Series standings.

“I didn’t think I would close that gap, but coming into the finish here, I got right on her wheel. I was sprinting as hard as I could. Then I got on (my bike) and rode a section and she got a little ahead. But once I got my momentum back, I was able to pass her, get off, run, then it’s all a blur. That last bit was just instinct and it worked out. I’m really happy,” added West, who finished the four-lap event in 40 minutes, 17 seconds. The Canadian improved from her fifth-place finish from last year to the top step on the podium with a final push in the closing meters.

Fahringer couldn’t hold off the charging 19-year-old and would finish second, at 7 seconds behind West.

“I sort of knew that a smooth race would win. I rode really smooth from the start,” said Fahringer, who scored her sixth ProCX podium of the season. She is still missing a win. “Maybe halfway through the first lap I ended up taking the lead. I held a pretty solid gap until the last half of the last lap. Lost the gap to Ruby (West), and she nipped me right at the line.”

Magdeleine Vallieres Mill, who turned 17 years old in October, would come in third, 1 minute, 27 seconds after the winner. “I was trying to catch them since the beginning (West and Fahringer),” said Vallieres. “It was like this for all of the race. It was really muddy. I like riding in the mud, so it was fun.”

Cassandra Maximenko (Watertown, Conn./Van Dessel Factory Team), who was second in this Saturday event last year, finished fourth. She came into the contest this year ranked fourth overall in the women’s Vittoria Series standings.

Of the 28 elite women who started the race, 23 finished. It was a different scenario in the elite men’s race, as the field of 28 dwindled to just eight completing the eight laps, and two riders fighting at the front. White would make the initial selection with ProCX points leader Kerry Werner (Birdsboro, Penn./Kona Maxxis Shimano).

“Kerry and I went back and for the first few laps,” said White. “At one point, I made a mistake and he got a gap. Then he made a mistake and I got the gap back on him. He kept me within arms reach. It seemed like 10 to 15 seconds for a while. Getting two to go, he was right there with me.”

It would come down to the final lap, where Werner relented to the cold and muddy conditions, unable to respond to White’s big push.

“With about two laps to go, I managed to kind of make contact,” said Werner. “But I spent quite a few matches and by then my appendages turned into frozen nubs. I made contact, and then I kind of just fell apart. I think the effort did me in. And the cold was starting to wear on me, so maybe I’ll dress a little bit more appropriately tomorrow. Or, maybe go harder the whole time.”

Men’s Race

White had a 14-second advantage after five laps. It was in the final lap where White would seal the deal in 1 hour, 5 minutes, 16 seconds. Last year it was Werner who won this race and White finished second This year Werner was 1 minute, 32 seconds off he winning pace.

“Just before one lap to go, he was pretty close and then I went all-in on that last lap. I opened the gap and sealed it for the win,” said White, who claimed his fifth consecutive Vittoria Series victory of the season. The white and light blue leader’s jersey was almost indistinguishable with all the mud covering the Vittoria brand.

Taking his first ProCX podium of the season was Merwin Davis (Star City, W.V./Cycle-Smart), who rolled across the line in third, close to three minutes behind White.

“You know, my number one thing today was to just try to minimize any and all mistakes. Everyone’s making mistakes on a day like today, it’s impossible not to,” said Davis. “I saw myself right there with Curtis and Kerry on the first lap. I could tell they were both going to ride away from me eventually. But I just wanted to hang on for as long as I could.”

Davis was in an early group that included 18-year-old Sam Noel (Shelburne, Vt./UVM Cycling / Cannondale Cyclocross) and 21-year-old Cooper Willsey (Hinesburg, Vt./Furman University). Davis said he pulled ahead of the group, but dropped his chain about the middle of the race and Noel was able to catch up.

“I could tell he had worked pretty hard to get back to me, so I just made sure to jump back in front in a couple of key spots and open up small gaps here and there,” Davis explained about making a move in the final lap to break free of Noel. “It was enough to break him, I think. I was able to ride in from there. This is my first podium in a UCI race, so there might have been a little bit of extra power in the legs when I realized that was happening.”

Noel would finish a minute behind Davis for fourth, and Willsey would claim fifth.

Ellen Noble (Kennebunkport, Maine/Trek Factory Racing CX) remained in the Vittoria Series leader’s jersey for the Elite Women’s competition with 150 points. White extended his lead to 250 points after sweeping the first five Series races. There are three races remaining in the Series, which include Sunday’s events at Supercross Cup, then races Dec. 1-2 in Warwick, R.I.for NBX Gran Prix of Cyclocross.

The second day of ProCX racing will continue Sunday for Supercross Cup in New York and Major Taylor ‘Cross Cup in Indiana. Elite events each afternoon are part of USA Cycling’s Pro Cyclocross Calendar (ProCX). Supercross Cup races are also the third and penultimate stop for the 2018 Vittoria Northeast Cyclocross Series presented by Clif Bar and Cycle-Smart. The Rockland County Supercross Cup is presented by Kissena Cycling Club & Hampton Velo.

Held at the Indy Cycloplex, Major Taylor ‘Cross Cup races are also part of the Ohio Valley Cyclocross Series. Sun King Beer and food from Der Pretzel Wagen will be available, with all proceeds from beer sales directly benefitting the operation of the park.

November 17, 2018 (Tabor, CZE) – Canada’s Maghalie Rochette (CX Fever p/b Specialzed) raced to 13th at Round Four of the Telenet UCI Cyclo-cross World Cup in Tabor, Czech Republic today as Lucinda Brand (Ned) Team Sunweb took the win over Annemarie Worst (Ned) Steylaerts-777 in second with teammate Alice Maria Arzuffi (Ita) in third.

November 16, 2018 (Como, Italy) – Check out this great exclusive behind-the-scenes video at the 112th running of Il Lombardia video courtesy of EF Education First-Drapac p/b Cannondale with Canuck Michael Woods, Rigoberto Uran and sports director Fabrizio Guidi. Il Lombardia, from Bergamo to Como, 241km, was the final “Monument” of the season and one of the last events on the UCI World Tour 2018 calendar.

Woods was coming off his amazing bronze at the Road World Championships while Uran has been a perennial podium finisher at this prestigious one-day race in Lombardy, Italy. An untimely mechanical late in the race took Woods out of contention as Thibaut Pinot (Fra) Groupama – FDJ claimed the win with a solo final attack – results here.

“Gave it my all today, but some bad luck w/ a mechanical on the final descent! Proud of the way the boys rode though and even more motivated now for 2019 @Ride_Argyle,” tweeted Woods.

Under-17 Men and Women were added as official Canada Cup Mountain Bike categories on the XCO side last year and will continue this year. Riders will be awarded the same points scale as the Juniors and will be required to race the same number of events as the Juniors to qualify for an overall Series ranking. The number of UCI-sanctioned Junior XCO events will be doubled to six – including four at the UCI Junior Series level – offering Juniors maximum opportunities to gain UCI points. After a five year absence, the XCO National Championships will return to Hardwood Ski & Bike in Ontario for 2019 and 2020. The domestic cross-country program concludes on September 7-8 with the Marathon National Championships in St-Felicien, Quebec.

The highlight of the season will be Mont-Ste-Anne, Quebec, which will play host for a record third time to the UCI World Championships for both Masters (August 21-23) and Elite/Under-23/Junior (August 28th – September 1st) in XCO and Downhill.

The Downhill Canada Cup Series will cap off in Mont Tremblant as a part of the Crossroads event weekend, before returning to British Columbia, at SilverStar Resort and then Fernie for the second and third rounds. Silverstar and Fernie will create a July triple header western race schedule for Downhill, which will conclude with both the Downhill and new Enduro National Championships at Panorama, BC, on July 27-28. The domestic downhill program will conclude with the Canadian Open in Whistler on August 18^th.

The national Road calendar begins in June, starting with the Masters Nationals in Victoria, BC, followed by four UCI-sanctioned events in Quebec – GP Cycliste Gatineau and Chrono de Gatineau for women, and the GP Cycliste de Saguenay and Tour de Beauce for men. From June 28 to July 1^st, the National Road Championships for Elite, Under-23, Junior and Para riders will take place in Beauce.

Road racing continues through the summer, with the Tour de la Relève Rimouski in Quebec at the beginning of July, followed by the UCI-sanctioned Delta Road Race and Global Relay Gastown GP in BC’s Lower Mainland. The Tour de l’Abitibi, one of the premier stage races for Junior men in the world, returns for its 51st edition from July 15-21. The Road calendar concludes in early September with the Quebec City and Montreal WorldTour races on September 13th and 15th.

The BMX national calendar events will take place in July and August. Three Canada Cup events, all with a UCI C1 sanction, will take place in Toronto (July 6-7), Drummondville, Quebec (July 13-14) and Calgary (August 17-18), the host of the 2016-2017 national championships. The National Championships will take place in Toronto on the same weekend as the Canada Cup event, and will be the primary qualifying event for the 2020 BMX world championships in Houston, USA.

Canada’s national track program will be centered around the Mattamy National Cycling Centre in Milton, with four of five events on the calendar taking place there. For Junior and Under-17 riders, there will be a Western Challenge (January 18-20) in Burnaby, BC, and an Eastern Challenge (February 9-10) in Milton. These will lead into the National Championships at Milton on April 12-14 for U17, Junior and Para athletes. The Elite and Masters riders will have their National Championships in Milton in the Fall, and the UCI Track World Cup will return to Milton for the 2019-20 season.

Peterborough, Ontario will once again play host to the 2019 Canadian Cyclo-cross Championships following a successful season-closing event in 2018. Cyclo-cross enthusiasts should expect another exciting season in 2019, with finalized details of the upcoming calendar to be released in the coming weeks.

Finally, the Para national schedule consists of four events, all on the UCI calendar.  On April 12-14 the Para Track Nationals will take place in Milton, followed by the Défi sportif AlterGo road event in Montreal on May 4-5. The Para Road Nationals will take place in Beauce, on June 28-29, and the UCI Para Road World Cup returns to Baie Comeau, Quebec, on August 8-11.

November 10, 2018 (Peterborough, Ont.) – Snow and bitter cold conditions greeted riders for the 2018 Shimano Canadian Cyclocross Championships in Nicholls Oval Park at Peterborough, Ont. where 11 titles were awarded as fans cheered on their favourites.

Headlining the day were Alberta’s Michael van den Ham (Garneau – Easton P/B Transitions Life Care) who defended his Elite Men’s title while Quebec’s Maghalie Rochette (Cx Fever P/B Specialized) reclaimed the Elite Women’s crown which followed her historic victory at the Pan Am CX Championships the previous weekend.

The day kicked off with the Masters competitions where six jerseys were up for grabs. Then the Junior and U23 Men took the start line followed by the Elite Men. The Elite and U23 women finished off a stellar day of racing as 11 champions were crowned.

Rochette was unstoppable in the Elite Women’s 15km 5-lap race as she quickly gapped the field and extended her lead to 1:34 over second-placed Jenn Jackson (AWI Racing P/B The Crank and Sprocket). Sandra Walter (Liv Cycling Canada) challenged her but in the end Jackson prevailed for the silver and Walter settled for bronze.

“The weather was typically Canadian for the championships and the conditions kept changing this weekend. First it was snowing and then it was muddy, and the sun came out and it got even muddier. But then it started getting really cold and the course started to freeze so you had to be careful on every corner,” said Rochette in our post-race interview.

“My plan was to start fast and see where everyone was at. At the first technical section I went really hard which I’d tried in the pre-ride and I got a gap so I kept pushing. It’s great to win the title again and the fans were great and thanks to everyone who was cheering,” she concluded.

Jackson was stoked as well. “It’s real! 2nd at Nationals today! Truly honoured to be a competitor in the Canadian women’s field, and so grateful to share this amazing race and result with my family (dad was 3rd in his race!), team, and friends. Thank you, thank you so much,” she tweeted.

The Elite Men’s 7-lap 21km race saw former champ, Raphael Gagne (Silverback-OMX), get the hole-shot and immediately gap the field as a group of four protagonists formed at the front with Van den Ham, Geoff Kabush (Yeti Maxxis Shimano) and Marc-Andre Fortier (Pivot-OTE) chasing.

Van den Ham caught and passed Gagne on the third lap and then Kabush did the same and began challenging for the lead. On the penultimate lap it looked like the defending champ was in control as Fortier took over third. Kabush surged on the final lap but an elated Van den Ham won his second consecutive title with a valiant fist punch as he crossed the line.

“When I saw the conditions I knew it wasn’t going to be easy. The only result I was going to be happy with was a win and I know how good and smooth Kabush is in this kind of weather. I knew I had to deliver and when I crossed the finishline I was even more excited than when I won the first time,” said Van den Ham.

“Raph’s (Gagne) has always been a good starter and I think that worked in my favour as it made us all work harder early on where I’m stronger. After catching him I just needed to hold off Kabush and I’m really happy to win again. It’s a bit of redemption after coming so close to winning the Pan Ams last weekend. No one wants to be a one-hit wonder and I don’t need a new kit now as well,” he quipped.

Ruby West (Specialized Ten Speed Hero) handily defended her U23 Women’s title in her 12km race, while Gunnar Homgren (Hardwood Next Wave) took home his first U23 Men’s jersey winning the 18 km competition. In the Junior Men’s 15km race it was Carter Woods (Naked Factory Team) winning the title with fast legs as he would have been fourth in the U23 men’s race.

In the Master races that kicked off the championships Sarah Gilchrist (AB) Edmonton Road & Track took the Women’s 35-44 title while Lisa Holmgren (ON) Hardwood Next Wave Cycling Team was the Women 45+ winner. James Laird ( Independent) earned the Men 65+ jersey while Bob Bergman (Ont) Canadian Cycling Magazine. took the Men’s 55-64 victory. Jean-Francois Blais (QC) Trek Cyclocross Collective won a close race in the Men’s 45-54 category over Robert Holmgren (ON) Hardwood Next Wave Cycling Team in second. Matt Staneland (Independent) won the Master Men 35-44 title over Thierry Laliberte (QC) YPC Bolle.

November 09, 2018 (Peterborough, ON) – Amidst epic conditions for the 2018 Shimano Canadian Cyclo-cross Nationals on Nov. 10 Pedal caught up with newly crowned Pan Am Cyclocross Elite Women’s champ for her take on the upcoming championships in Peterborough, Ont., the challenging weather, her decision to focus on cross and tips for tomorrow’s races. Over 350 athletes are registered to compete.

November 09, 2018 (Ottawa, ON) – Cycling Canada announced today that its President John Tolkamp will officially step down from his position this December after 10 years at the helm of the organization’s Board of Directors. A special meeting has been called for December 12^th where a new President will be elected by the organization’s Provincial and Territorial members.

Tolkamp served as a director-at-large for 6 years on Cycling Canada’s Board before moving into the position of President in October of 2008. The organization has seen a period of tremendous growth over this period, with total revenues nearly tripling from $3.1 million to over $9.0 million, driven primarily through increases in enhanced excellence funding to support the organization’s high performance programs.

Tolkamp was instrumental in Cycling Canada adopting a stronger stance in the fight against doping and during his tenure the Mattamy National Cycling Center in Milton, Ontario, was constructed, which helped increase the number of international cycling events hosted in the country.

“This was certainly a difficult decision, and one made after serious thought and consideration which included input from stakeholders, senior staff and the Board,” said Tolkamp. “With the recent changes in our senior management team it is also time for fresh leadership at the Board level to ensure the staff and entire organization is best positioned for success going forward.”

“I want to thank the entire Canadian cycling community for their support and collaboration over my term as President. It has been an absolute privilege to serve in this role and these 10 years have been immensely fulfilling, rewarding and one of the highlights of my life. We have accomplished much to improve and grow our sport in Canada and I have full confidence that my successor will continue this great momentum. While I am stepping down as President, my passion for the sport of cycling remains and I look forward to exploring other ways to grow the sport and continuing to support our athletes and the long term goals and objectives of Cycling Canada.”

The nomination process for Cycling Canada’s new President will officially open on November 12^th with all nominations due by close of business (5:00 p.m. ET) on November 28^th, 10 working days prior to the special election meeting.

November 09, 2018 (Vancouver, BC) – La Prima Racing is a new Elite women’s road cycling team recently announced with a 9-strong roster of Canadian and US riders that will compete at USA Cycling Pro Road Tour races, and North American UCI races including BC Superweek which is held in Metro Vancouver every July.

The new team under the leadership of Directeur Sportif, Shawn Clarke, is the brainchild of Isabella Bertold, 27, who is also riding for the new squad that includes Ivy Audrain, Esta Bovil, Helena Coney, Haley Gill, Kristen Kit, Beth Ann Orton, Michele Schaeffer and Anna Talman.

The talented squad boasts Bovill who is a 2018 UCI Masters Road Race bronze medalist and, “Both Gill and Schaeffer had breakout seasons last year with Gill stepping on the podium at Superweek’s New West Grand Prix, and Schaffer showcasing her climbing strength at Redlands,” according to the team’s blog.

Bertold is a World Cup medalist in sailing while Kit is a national rowing team coqswain. Both athletes are Canadian National Team athletes in their respective sports outside of cycling and are targeting the 2020 Olympics.

Rounding out the roster are rising U23 talent Anna Talman and down-hill mountain biker turned road cyclist Helena Coney. Mentor riders, Orton and Audrain, have years of PRT racing under their belts and will be an asset to the team.

“I’m inspired by the caliber of talent on this team,” says Korbin. “Our first-year goals are conservative but I know these riders will be competing for wins at every race.”

Title sponsor InstaFund is a Vancouver based private mortgage investment firm.

Meet the riders and preview the 2019 team kit at the Launch Party on November 15. There will be a silent auction, raffle, and giveaways plus get a sneak peak at the team calendar and the exciting community events the team has planned.
