February 27, 2014 (St-Augustin-de-Desmaures, Quebec) – Team Garneau-Quebecor received its UCI Continental license for a second consecutive year. 2013 was a pivotal year for Garneau-Quebecor. The team attained an important milestone in its growth and has proved itself in a circuit where the competition level is considerably higher than what it had faced in the past.

During the season, the team accumulated a total of 29 victories, in addition to receiving the award for 2013 High Performance Road and Track Team of the Year by the Fédération Québécoise des Sports Cyclistes (Québec Cycling Sports Federation). All this thanks to, among others, great performances by Remi Pelletier-Roy, who will take on the role of Team Captain for the 2014 season. Old and new riders, of including an American and two Australians, will complete the 2014 Garneau-Quebecor lineup.

Team Garneau-Quebecor’s success is made possible in great part thanks to our 14 sponsors: Quebecor, Norton Rose Fulbright, Cascades, Biscuits Leclerc, Plaisirs Gastronomiques, LYCRA® SPORT fabric*, Shimano, Vittoria, Couture Rochette & Associés, Delmar, Sports Experts, Deloitte and Aquafina.

The official presentation of the team will take place next March 27. Until then, the team is already planning a training camp in North Carolina and another in Florida.

Team Garneau-Quebecor reaches new heights each year. Since its inception, the team has contributed to the development of top level cyclists by propelling riders such as David Veilleux, Antoine Duchesne and Hugo Houle to the professional level.
