CYCLING CANADA AND FQSC WORKING TO SUSTAIN 2020 GRAND PRIX CYCLISTE DE GATINEAU

Ottawa, ON (December 19, 2019) – The Grand Prix Cycliste de Gatineau was launched in 2010 and has been a stalwart on the North American women’s road racing calendar for 10 editions. In 2020, the race will no longer be organized by La Grande Visite de Gatineau, but Cycling Canada and the FQSC are confident they have the necessary resources and capacity in place to sustain the future of the event.

Cycling Canada and the FQSC are grateful to La Grande Visite de Gatineau for putting on the GP Gatineau and developing it into a world-class UCI women’s event. While they have decided to step away from the event due to financial concerns, it is an invaluable event for women’s cycling in Canada and North America. Cycling Canada and the FQSC will be working together to ensure the future of the event which will keep its current 2020 date and UCI standing.

More news on the 2020 edition of the Grand Prix Cycliste de Gatineau will follow in the New Year. The 2020 GP Gatineau road race remains scheduled for June 4 and Chrono Gatineau individual time trial for June 5.
