ADAM JAMIESON IN CLIMBER’S JERSEY AT TOUR DE BEAUCE

Saint-Georges, QC (June 20, 2019) – Team Canada had a strong start to the 34th edition of the Tour de Beauce on Wednesday, with Adam Jamieson part of a race-long breakaway in the 177 kilometre stage, finishing sixth and donning the Polka Dot jersey as best climber. Fellow Canadians Nickolas Zukowsky (Floyd’s Pro Cycling) and Bruno Langlois (Brunei Continental) were also in the break, finishing second and fourth, respectively. Zukowsky wears the Best Young Rider jersey.

Jamieson, a track specialist who is racing at Beauce for the first time, won all three KoM contests to take a solid lead in the climbing competition. “That’s a tough course, but it suits me better than Saguenay did last week. I was feeling great out there until about the four hour mark [about 15 minutes before the finish]. I started to come apart a little bit coming into the finish – my cassette had loosened up and I was getting dropped on the descents. I guess that’s racing, but I’m super happy with how the day turned out.”
