May 06, 2018 (Eilat, Israel) – Elia Viviani (Ita) Quick-Step Floors proved to be unstoppable again as he claimed the 229km Stage 3 from Be’er Sheva to Eilat while Rohan Dennis (Aus) BMC Racing Team retained the pink leader’s jersey.

Canadian and Israeli fans were stoke to see Guillaume Boivin (Israel Cycling Academy) in the early break again delivering gutsy riding once again in an attempt to capture the KOM jersey.

Three riders including Boivin, Enrico Barbin (Bardiani-CSF) and Marco Frapporti (Androni-Sidermec) got away early and opened a six-minute advantage just ten kilometers into the stage.

Boivin fought for the intermediate sprints and won but the sole categorized climb went to Frapporti who attacked while Barbin sat on the Canadian’s wheel. “We knew the terrain from a previous training camp and there’s a great tailwind so we hoped the peloton might miscalculate… it was a good plan,” said Boivin. “But with only the three of us it was tough. For the KOM it wasn’t possible for me to  was little I could do.”

BMC kept the break in check and through the barren Negev desert the gap was soon down to around 30 seconds. But the break got a second wind and pushed the margin back up to over two minutes with 40km to go and it was full gas. When Barbin cracked it was only a matter of time as the leaders were swept up and the sprinters got to work.

“It felt good out there,” said Boivin. “We appreciate the fans and the support. The team did a great job overall and we’re doing as well as any of the teams here – and we’ll keep trying.”

His teammate Guy Sagiv echoed his perspective adding, “I hope we’ve changed the country. I believe things will not be the same after this. I will never forget the support. I admit I never imagined it. People calling my name. Asking for autographs. It’s insane. All these three days were insane.”

Czech Champion Zdenek Stybar and white jersey Max Schachmann put the hammer down with five kilometers to go, and their huge tempo strung out the bunch. Viviani kept his cool remaining in the top ten and despite being squeezed in by Sam Bennett (Bora-hansgrohe), he found the space needed to get past the Irishman, punching the air as he outsprinted countryman Sacha Modolo (EF Education First) for his second consecutive win at the 2018 Giro.

“We stayed together in this crazy final and did a great job. The guys were incredible today and this victory is for them,” said the winner at the finish. “I can’t tell you how happy I am to have such a fantastic team around me.”

Dennis was well protected by his teammates going into the nervous finale and battled to stay safe as the sprint trains formed and he crossed the line towards the front of the bunch to secure the leader’s jersey for another day, the first time in his career that he has held a Grand Tour leader’s jersey for more than one stage.

“It was very stressful today but I’m glad it’s done. It was a hard day. The last 40 or 50km, when we were chasing the breakaway and especially the last 20km, we were sitting on 70km an hour so we couldn’t go any faster. It was super fast and we were lucky that it wasn’t a crosswind. Once again, the team did a great job and kept me up the front. Tomorrow, I will rest as much as possible and go for a ride. The plan for the Italian stages will be to hold the jersey for as long as possible and then the battle after that will be getting to Rome,” said Dennis.

May 06, 2018 (Jerusalem, Israel) – Canada’s Guillaume Boivin (Israel Cycling Academy) was on fire again jumping into an early break on Stage 3 from Be’er Sheva to Eilat, 229km hoping to catch the peloton off guard. His breakaway companions were Marco Frapporti (Androni Giocattoli-Sidermec) and KOM leader, Enrico Barbin (Bardiani-CSF) and while lacking firepower they still gave it a go.

 

“Guillaume Boivin took KOM points in Stage 2,” said Israel Cycling Academy Sports Director, Rene Andrle, “So we want to go for the jersey. There’s just one climb again today so we have to get him in the break. Normally we depend on him in the closing kilometers, but that won’t be the case if we use him up in the break.” Andrle predicted that, like yesterday, the break will be small and will probably form quickly which it did.

The trio’s gap grew to over seven minutes as Boivin took both intermediate sprints but when the KOM climb approached Frapporti attacked as Barbin sat on Boivin’s wheel. “There was nothing I could do,” said the valiant Canuck. “But the best I could do was tie Babin and that was not enough to take the jersey. We knew this stage had a massive tailwind from having trained here before, and I told the guys and felt good that it might work in our favour to catch the peloton off guard. In the last 15 kilometers when I saw we were keeping the gap steady I still had a bit of hope.”

It looked like the peloton had them in their grasp as the gap dropped to around thirty seconds but with 40km to go it had ballooned back up to over two minutes. It was full gas for the break and the chasing pack but then Barbin cracked and let up.

“We were going 70km an hour…I guess we lost one guy from the break and we were starting to be on the limit a little bit so the collaboration wasn’t as good as it had been, which is normal when you’re going full gas,” said Boivin as he and Frapporti were caught just 5 kilometers before the finish. Still it was another great day for the Canadian and Israel Cycling Academy as massive fans cheered them on.

As the sprinters lined up Sam Bennett (Irl) Bora-Hansgrohe edged Elia Viviani (Ita) Quick-Step Floors into the barriers but the Italian fought back and took the win again with Sacha Modolo (Ita) EF Education First-Drapac p/b Cannondale in second and Bennett settling for third.

May 05, 2018 (Tel Aviv, Israel) – Elia Viviani (Ita) Quick-Step Floors won Stage 2 from Haifa to Tel Aviv, 167km, as Rohan Dennis (Aus) BMC Racing Team took over the race lead and the maglia rosa. Canada’s Guillaume Boivin (Israel Cycling Academy) rode with heart spending the day out in front, first with an early break of three riders and then on his own.

The day rolled out from Haifa, a flat parcours which featured a small fourth-category climb whose sole purpose was to see the blue jersey awarded at the end of the day. After a frantic start, Guillaume Bovin (Israel Cycling Academy), Lars Bak (Lotto-FixAll), and Davide Ballerini (Androni-Sidermec) established a 3:30-lead.

But BMC pushed the pace and they were almost caught be for the KOM climb at 91km. Boivin attacked but Enrico Barbin (Bardiani-CSF) went around him with 100m to go and crossed the top first.

“We wanted to try and get into an early break,” said Boivin. “We were aiming to capture the KOM jersey today. It wasn’t supposed to me out there but it just worked out that I was in the best position to go when the early break got away. We were suprised to see the pack so close when we hit the climb. BMC was trying to position Dennis for bonus points in the sprint that followed the KOM climb. To be honest it was heartbreaking when I was passed but that’s bike racing.”

The brave Canuck struck out on this own again and put a minute and a half between himself and the pack, prompting a reaction from Grand Tour debutant Rémi Cavagna, who took over the front of the bunch and began chewing into his advantage. The catch was made with ten kilometers to go, and just as the teams began fighting for position.

“Breaks like this don’t often work but I rode with heart as we wanted to show our thanks to the fans and everyone who helped make this start in Israel happen, especially during the first three stages here. The crowds have been amazing and if anyone doubted the cycling culture here they know it’s alive and well. I’m happy to be a part of this special start to the Giro and we’ll keep trying,” said Boivin.

The hectic and chaotic finish saw every rider on their own. Viviani, 29, jumped on the wheel of Jakub Mareczko (Ita) Wilier Triestina-Selle Italia and took the inside line to claim his seventh victory since the start of the season.

“The guys did an amazing job and I want to say a big thanks for that! Rémi took the responsibility on his shoulders and closed the breakaway, Styby brought us to the front, then Florian took over with two kilometers to go, before Michael and Saba dropped me in the closing kilometer. It was chaotic because of all those corners and roundabouts, but we can be proud of ourselves,” said Viviani.

Dennis won the only intermediate sprint that awarded a time bonus to dethrone Tom Dumoulin (Ned) Team Sunweb and he leads the Giro by one second. “The plan was to just play it by ear initially. We knew that the second sprint was the one with bonus time and we thought that if it was within grasp, and the breakaway wasn’t too far away, we would try. About 40km or 50km from the sprint, they asked me if I wanted to do and I said not really but we did it anyway and I thought that I can’t not put 100% into it. The team delivered me exactly where I needed to be for the sprint and all I had to do was go as hard as I could and there was no way I couldn’t win it. Then after that, it was about making sure I didn’t lose time in the splits in the final. It was massive teamwork.”

“It’s a special feeling to have the Maglia Rosa. Yesterday was a bit disappointing but the team backed me today and the team did everything possible to put me into pink. It’s a great jersey and it’s a real honor to be the leader of a Grand Tour and for our team, we wanted to do it for Andy Rihs. He put a lot into our team and we wanted to give back to him and to do this for him and his family is a real pleasure for us. We will keep it as long as possible but I think for me it is more about learning still. I’m sure at some stage it will be taken away from me but I will keep fighting all the way to Rome. When I first started cycling, I never thought that I would wear all Grand Tour leaders’ jerseys. I saw guys do things like this and I always thought that was really amazing so to be a part of that little group is a real honor,” added Dennis.

May 04, 2018 (Jerusalem, Israel) – Tom Dumoulin (Ned) Team Sunweb won the opening 9.7 kilometre Stage 1 Individual Time Trial of the 101st Giro d’Italia to put himself in the pink jersey in front of an enormous and enthusiastic crowd in Jerusalem.

It was the perfect start to his Giro defence, as he claimed the maglia rosa while gaining significant time on his general classification rivals. Effectively Dumoulin started the Giro where he left off last year.

Canada’s Michael Woods (EF Education First-Drapac p/b Cannondale) led the Canadians in 76th. Svein Tuft (Can) Mitchelton-Scott was 139th and Guillaume Boivin (Israel Cycling Academy) finished 15th.

For the majority of the stage Rohan Dennis (Aus) BMC Racing Team led, but the defending champ, starting last, bettered the Australian by two seconds at an average speed of 48.365km/h on a lumpy course. He also outclassed the other GC favourites: Thibaut Pinot (Fra) Groupama-FDJ by 33 seconds, Chris Froome (Gbr) Team Sky by 37 seconds, Esteban Chaves by 46 seconds, Fabio Aru by 50 seconds and Miguel Angel Lopez by 56 seconds.

“I didn’t expect to gain so much time on Chris Froome and the other GC contenders. The victory today is more important to me than the time I gained. I’m proud to wear the two most prestigious jerseys in cycling right now: the Maglia Rosa on top of the rainbow jersey,” said Dumoulin.

“It’s special to win here in Jerusalem. It was a technical and challenging course in a very impressive city with history and culture, although today I wasn’t concerned with that. The crowd was amazing, especially considering that people in Israel are not used to cycling. I’m honored to win the Gino Bartali prize in a stage dedicated to him. I know his history since I read a book about his life two years ago. Now I’m delighted to be in the Maglia Rosa. I don’t expect to retain it for three weeks. But I also don’t want to lose any of the time I gained on the other GC riders today.”

April 27, 2018 (Toronto, ON) – Cervélo fans will be excited to learn that a new book “To Make Riders Faster”, has been written and launched by author Anna Dopico, that chronicles the inspirational story of young Canadian entrepreneurs, Gerard Vroomen and Phil White, that took their school basement project in Montreal back in 1995, to the top of the world.

Dopico just happens to the wife of Phil White and has a financial background “which came in very handy” as she was a key part of Cervelo’s trials and tribulations on the road to its incredible success. The book begins with Phil and Gerard meeting at McGill University in 1995 and their quest to build the fastest bikes on the planet.

Success came early to the young Canadian entrepeneurs as the brand was soon winning triathlons and time-trial championships. In 2003, Cervélo became the bike supplier to Team CSC, which went on to become the world’s top pro cycling team. The new kid on the block was enjoying heady success and in 2009 the Cervélo TestTeam was launched becoming the first bike manufacturer in the modern era to have its own cycling team at the highest levels of racing.

But vulnerabilities can inflict harm says Dopico – check out our interview with her below – as the duo faced the fight of their lives to keep their company alive while establishing industry leadership.

In 2011 Cervélo was sold to Pon Holdings, a Dutch conglomerate that also owns Gazelle, Raleigh, Focus, Ghost, Santa Cruz and more brands on the bike side along with Volkswagen and Audi in their automotive division.

Vroomen went on to form OPEN Cycles and joined 3T as well while White remained with Cervelo until becoming a “free agent” again earlier this year. The duo were recently united at The 11 Inc. in Toronto owned by Heath Cockburn, Cervelo’s first national sales manager, for a meet and greet with Vroomen.

“To Make Riders Faster” is a 256-page hardcover book with an insider story that includes one-of-a-kind pictures and quotes.

Interview with Anna Dopico

Fans can meet the author at upcoming book signings:.
May 16 – 7pm at The 11 Inc. in Toronto (owner Heath Cockburn was Cervélo’s first Sales Manager)
May 19 – 7pm at Cyclesmith in Halifax
May 24 – 7pm at Cyclelogik in Ottawa

April 25, 2018 (Delémont, FRA) – Canada’s Antoine Duchesne (Groupama-FDJ) was in the break today with four other riders for most of the day on Stage 1 from Fribourg to Delémont, 173.9km, gaining an advantage of just over six minutes before being caught during the final circuits.

Omar Fraile (Esp) Astana Pro Team took the win over Sonny Colbrelli (Ita) Bahrain-Merida in second with Rui Costa (Por) UAE Team Emirates third. The opening Prologue was won by Michael Matthews (Aus) Team Sunweb over Tom Bohli (Sui) BMC Racing Team in second with Primoz Roglic (Slo) LottoNL-Jumbo in third.

Roglic (Slo) leads overall with Rohan Dennis (Aus) BMC Racing Team in second and Geraint Thomas (Gbr) Team Sky third. Duchesne is 65th overall, Hugo Houle (Can) Astana Pro Team is 67th and Svein Tuft (Can) Mitchelton-Scott is 101st.

“The shape was good! The yellow jersey was not the favorite in the long-term general classification, so (his team) sometimes has trouble getting organized. So I thought it was a good idea to try it and it came out with the first attack. We were a beautiful group and there was a very good cohesion,” Duchesne told Sportcom.

“We had several cards to play and aim for the overall standings with Jakob Fuglsang and Tanel Kangert, so our goal was not necessarily to win the sprint. Fraile had a great opportunity and he grabbed it, even though he did not feel well because of his allergies. He did a great sprint and it was quite technical in the end where the road narrowed in the last 300 meters. He perfectly managed his effort. For us, it starts very well the Tour with a victory in the bank,” he concluded.

April 24, 2018 – At least seven riders have been disqualified from the 2018 edition of Paris to Ancaster because of trespassing on private property. The riders identified so far are all in the Elite or P2A70 Wave 1, and have previous experience riding the race. Their actions have resulted in a popular section of the course being replaced with pavement. This is the second year in a row we have had to make course adjustments due to the actions of a small number.

We are very disappointed to have to take this action particularly with long term participants, but we have to respect our deal with the landowners and hope that our participants will also. As such they have been disqualified for 2018 and their entry fees refunded.

Private property sections are available for use on race day only. Do not pre-ride on private property! It pains us to have to repeat this yet again.

Sincerely, P2A Race Directors

Below are a couple of the (printable) comments we received from landowners…

I can appreciate the dedication, work and travel that goes into all that is P2A and we LOVE race day. But my land is mine. I would think that riders ought to know the public roads and trail systems by now, and a driveway leading up to a house is a pretty clear indication that it just might be private property.

A couple of riders rode through the property during an event we were having this weekend. An extremely rude and disrespectful gesture on their part to trespass on someone’s land…considering they came in through the farmhouse driveway.

Stop Trying to Pre-ride the Course
We have received complaints from many land owners and ask that you DO NOT ride the course until race day. Doing so may result in us being unable to use that section of the course in the future. This is why we do not release course maps!

We are incredibly grateful to all of the landowners who let us use THEIR property for race day. Unfortunately, many people seem to be pre-riding parts of the course without permission. Landowners have even sent us pictures of people on their property. If you want the event to continue using these great sections of private land then stay out until race day.

Please be respectful and not ride on private property.

April 22, 2018 (Losinj, Croatia) – The 2018 Mercedes-Benz UCI MTB World Cup DH#1 kicked off this weekend in Losinj, Croatia as the new track debuted with Aaron Gwin (US) The YT Mob and Myriam Nicole (Fra) Commencal / Vallnord taking home first round victories as Canadian Lucas Cruz was just off the podium finishing fourth in the Junior Men’s DH competition.

The race track on Losinj is one-of-a-kind set atop a picturesque Island amidst the Adriatic Sea. The start gate boasts breathtaking views that are soon forgotten as you drop into what amounts to a 2km long rock garden.

Rough and not forgiving in the least, a crash here potentially means a trip to the emergency room as jagged rocks from walls all along the track, leave little room for a safe landing. Unique on the World Cup, the track ends with a quick sprint through the ancient port town of Veli Losinj and finishes up seaside.

Sporting her rainbow stripes, Canada’s Miranda Miller (Specialized), the reigning women’s DH world champ, ended up 11th on the day after flatting in her qualifying run.

Rachel Atherton (Gbr) Trek Factory was the fastest qualifier but Nicole, sporting the #1 plate, was untouchable putting her stamp on 2018 and getting off to a flying start. Pompon took home gold in convincing fashion, putting four seconds into perennial favourite Atherton with Tahnee Seagrave (Gbr) Transition Bikes / MUC-Off Factory Racing third.

Mark Wallace (Canyon Factory Downhill Team) was the top Canadian in the Elite Men’s race finishing 23rd as Gwin took home the first win of the 2018 MTB World Cup downhill season besting fellow American Luca Shaw (Santa Cruz Syndicate) by 0.8 of a second. Australian Dean Lucas (Intense Factory Racing) hung on for 3rd place another 0.4 seconds back.

“So stoked to be back at the races with my team. We had a great weekend together and I’m proud of all the guys for their hard work and successes this weekend. The new bike worked flawless and I’m super excited that we got our first win on it. Good times here in Croatia, lookin’ forward to the rest of the season,” said Gwin.

Wallace wasn’t thrilled with his run, but the course was demanding and a tiny mistake could cost you big. “There wasn’t any huge things, I just made some small mistakes and they added up. It’s hard at this track,” said Wallace.

Magnus Manson finished 30th and Henry Fitzgerald (Norco Factory) was 47th. Former Junior Worlds and World Cup champ Finn Iles (Specialized Gravity) suffered a crash and ended up 56th on the day.

For the Juniors, Canada’s Cruz looks ready to crack the podium with his 4th-place finish in the men’s race, as newcomers Thibaut Daprela (Fra) and Valentina Holl (AUS) blew apart their fields, serving notice that both first-year juniors are here to play. Deprela would have been top 20 in the Elite men’s race and Hold would have been just off the podium in the women’s competition. in the Junior was just off the podium finishing fourth in the Junior Men’s DH competition.

Results here.

April 22, 2018 (Belgium) – Canada’s Alison Jackson (Team Tibco-Silicon Valley Bank) secured her best-ever result at a WorldTour race  finishing 17th at the second running of Liege-Bastogne-Liege Femmes, round #9 of the 2018 UCI WWT series, as Anna Van Der Breggen (Ned) Boels Dolmans Cyclingteam defended her title winning the 135km race with a solo victory.

April 20, 2018 (Toronto, Ont.) – Patrick Brown is a cycling advocate, trial lawyer with McLeish Orlando LLP and founder of Bike Law Canada. He lives in Oakville and commutes to Toronto by a combination of Go Train and Specialized bicycle. Over the past couple decades, he has done more and more pro bono work for vulnerable road users, especially injured cyclists and has become a leading advocate for safe cycling infrastructure and legislation. Pedal recently spoke with Brown about what needs to be done to keep cyclists and pedestrians safe on city streets as Ontario NDP MPP Catherine Fife prepares to reintroduce Bill 158 Protecting Vulnerable Road Users Act in Queens Park.

How dangerous is cycling with current infrastructure, in the big cities of Canada such as Toronto?
Patrick Brown: It’s getting better, but it is still very dangerous at times. We are still seeing the statistics regarding injury and fatality rates increasing while each year, other road violence is going down. From a statistical standpoint, there is a large number of people in Ontario brought into the emergency department as a result of being hit on their bikes and right now it is not curved downward, it is in fact going up. There are more people using bikes, but at the same time it has a lot to do with a lack of infrastructure.

Is the province of Ontario and Toronto keeping up?
PB: For me, I’m most familiar with the city of Toronto and I think it certainly is taking proactive steps with regard to more infrastructure and making it a priority, moreso than it has before. But it is still moving at a slower pace compared to other major centres such as New York and London, and of course Scandinavia is leading the way.

What should be the focus?
PB: The government has done a lot of stuff, and put a lot of money into cycling with the Ontario Bike Strategy and Toronto’s Bike Plan including some good laws in relation to doorings. From that standpoint, there have been some good steps with cycling on the agenda, but at the same time they seem to ignore some glaring problems that people want to change, for instance they haven’t acted on things such as the Vulnerable Road User Act. I represent a coalition that has been fighting for this law for over three years and have met with the Minister of Transportation on a number of occasions.

Why didn’t the Act pass the first time?
PB: On the previous private members bill put forward by MPP Cheri Dinovo, the Legislature got prorogued so it died. And previous to that, there was a failed attempt to try and amend an existing government bill at a standing committee. This week, is the third attempt to get the government to pass the Vulnerable Road User Act that has been demanded by active transportation groups. There is a huge groundswell of people wanting this law, and we are hoping to get it through but it is unlikely. While it’s the right thing to do, and I hope they pass it I don’t know if it will succeed. Timing could be a thing too because of the upcoming election.

But it doesn’t seem like a political issue?
PB: I don’t see it as a partisan issue, I really don’t. It’s really a bill for road safety with increased penalties for a problem they know exists. It doesn’t really matter which party or who does it, I just want it done.

Tell us why this is so important.
PB: We’ve been trying to gather as many statistics as possible in relation to what happens when a cyclist or pedestrian is hit. I initiated what was called the Coroner’s Review on cycling and pedestrian deaths, and I served on behalf of a number of cycling groups during that one-year review. What became very apparent was when a cyclist was killed, about 62% of the time it would have been the driver’s fault, but very few – less than 23% – were ever charged. We found a repeated pattern that was striking. Either there were no charges, or if there was a charge, it resulted in a small fine. So we started gathering numerous examples from people I represented like Ryan Carrier, an illegal right hand turn by a truck on Queen and he was killed (in 2005) and the fine was $85. It repeated on and on and on. With the Vulnerable Road User Act, if you hit someone, there is an added penalty. In this case, the added penalty is not just a fine. For one, you get your licence suspended, and you have to take a driving course before getting back on the road. Secondly, there are community service hours in the area of road safety. And three, in court when the victim’s impact statement is read, you have to be present and you have to listen. These things don’t exist now. The big problem many groups have is that these deaths are treated like nothing. It’s just ridiculous and that’s what we want to change – we’d be the first province in Canada to do it.

What about the call for a national cycling strategy – how key is this?
PB: I think it’s a great thing. There are issues that are federal and pertain to all cyclists from B.C. to the East Coast and many changes do require a national voice. As an example, there has been a call for the last 20 years for side guards on trucks and it hasn’t happened – that’s Transport Canada. And to have a collective organization to push for something like that would be great. Then you get into all of the standards in relation to say vehicles coming into Canada and what can and cannot be on the road, again that’s also Transport Canada.

Cycling is increasing and if cities adopted safer networks how would this impact growth and commuting?
PB: Yes cycling is gaining in popularity and I do club rides as well with lots of people living on the outskirts and many would commute regularly if routes into the city were safer, absolutely. There’s a large percentage of riders who really want to commute to work by bike, say 25-30km, if they had a safe and direct route. The Waterfront Trail is great but less so for commuting as it’s a shared pathway with dogs and people. With more infrastructure for commuting I believe you’d see a big surge in people biking to and from work.

What are the spinoff benefits for the rest of the city?
PB: There are huge benefits such as better traffic flow. Some think otherwise, but most urban planners agree that if it is done well traffic flow will increase. Safer networks and supporting laws would mean statistics on the number of people being hit or killed would decrease. More people using active transportation on a regular basis is great for cities and the driving public as well who would have the utility of driving their cars without the fear of hitting someone. Those are all huge positives, not only on the health side of things, but for society at large. This is the direction major urban centres are going and should be going.

April 20, 2018 (Toronto, ON) – Check out this great interview with Cervélo founders Gerard Vroomen and Phil White who launched the brand in 1995 with the Barrachi, a full carbon TT bike, and soon after took the world by storm. The duo met up recently at The 11 Inc. as Vrooman held court for a cocktail hour followed by the official meet and greet to chat about his new ventures at OPEN Cycles and 3T, the state of the sport and the business of cycling. Pedal caught up with the legendary Cervelo founders for a brief interview and a walk down memory lane… stay tuned as more exciting news is coming.

Success came early to the young Canadian entrepeneurs as the brand was soon winning triathlons and time-trial championships. In 2003, Cervélo became the bike supplier to Team CSC, which went on to become the world’s top pro cycling team. The new kid on the block was enjoying heady success and in 2009 the Cervélo TestTeam was launched becoming the first bike manufacturer in the modern era to have its own cycling team at the highest levels of racing.

In 2011 Cervélo was sold to Pon Holdings, a Dutch conglomerate that also owns Gazelle, Raleigh, Focus, Ghost, Santa Cruz and more brands on the bike side along with Volkswagen and Audi in their automotive division. Vroomen went on to form OPEN Cycles and joined 3T as well while White remained with Cervelo until becoming a “free agent” again earlier this year.

Heath Cockburn, owner of The 11 Inc., was Cervelo’s first national sales manager and is the top Canadian OPEN Cycles dealer, Vrooman’s new venture along with 3T.

Check out our coverage of Vroomen’s recent meet and greet at The 11 Inc., plus photos and brief interview with him here.

April 19, 2018 (Toronto, Ont.) – Gerard Vroomen of OPEN Cycles and Cervelo fame recently held court in Toronto at an intimate engagement at The 11 Inc. as 75-100 guests enjoyed a cocktail hour followed by the official meet and greet.

Vroomen, one of the men behind Cervelo and the Cervelo Test Team, talked about his new ventures at 3T and OPEN Cycles, the state of the sport and the business of cycling, also taking questions from the floor.

Regarding the new digital age entering the sport Vroomen had this to say. “I’m all for e-bikes if they get people out of their car or off the couch and on to a bike. But just for the sake of bombing up trails that’s not progress. Living in Amsterdam where bikes are everywhere, the trend is e-bikes and they’re great for commuting or keeping up with your friends on weekend rides,” he commented.

In the crowd was non-other than Phil White, the other man behind Cervelo, as the dynamic duo launched the brand from humble beginnings in 1995 and took the world by storm paving the way for Canadian brands to make their mark on the international road scene – check out our interview with them that evening coming soon.

Heath Cockburn, owner of The 11 Inc., was Cervelo’s first national sales manager and currently is the top Canadian OPEN Cycles dealer making it a walk down memory lane for attendees. Check out our photo gallery and brief interview with Vroomen below.

April 18, 2018 – The 3rd and final day of Moab Rocks was as exhilarating as it was exhausting. After two days of physical XC racing, most racers woke up tired; their bodies aching. The Stage 3 course wasn’t going to provide any relief as it was just as challenging and demanding as the previous two days. At 8:30 AM the shot went off and competitors headed out toward the Magnificent 7 trails.

The starting pace was mellower due to a stiff headwind on the road. The final stage is the day to finalize positions with most people looking to push hard to try and move up. The lead men waited until off of the first flat road and onto the steep climb to make their attack. From there everyone spread out, pushing as hard as they could up the first 500′ climb. Next was a loose quick dirt road descent followed by a fast flat road before climbing back up again.

After the first 6 miles of dirt road; the course veered onto the Getaway singletrack, a moderately technical climb with some flowy dirt single track. It was a six mile climb up Getaway and then everyone was rewarded with the screaming descent; Bull Run. It’s rocky, it’s fast and it makes the climb worth it. The descending continued after Bull Run with more rocky, adrenaline-charged trail on Great Escape.

After descending what felt like forever, the course turned back on Gemini Bridges road where riders climbed up and over the 500′ hill before sprinting down to the finish.  Today’s course was a tough 2500′ of climbing over 28 miles. Almost all of the climbing takes place in the first 15 miles making the rest of the course pure joy.  If you haven’t fallen in love with the trails in Moab yet, Stage 3 today left riders smiling ear to ear.  Moab Rocks encompasses three very different trail systems, each with their own unique challenges and rewards.  It’s a perfect start to the race season as you’re sure to leave Moab tired and sore, with memories and experiences you won’t forget.
