2023 CANADIAN ROAD CHAMPIONSHIPS CONCLUDE WITH MASTERS COMPETITION

Ottawa, ON (July 2, 2023) – The 2023 Canadian Road Championships concluded with the Masters categories, held June 29-July 2 in St. Georges, QC.

Competition kicked off with the individual time trial on June 29. Zack Morris recorded his first-ever national title in the Masters A category, while a bevy of riders successfully defended their time trial title for a second year running: Masters B athlete, Mark Sherboneau (Ride With Rendall p/b Biemme); Masters E athlete, Nancy Gillan (Agowatt); Masters F athlete, Paolina Allan (Uxbridge Cycling Club); and Masters G athlete, Nathalie Champagne (Agowatt).

Continuing a strong 2023 season, Bruce Bird (Wheels of Bloor) added the Masters C win to his Gravel Masters 55-64 Championship title. Sylvan Adam (Israel – Premier Tech) found himself with a Masters D gold medal several years after his first Canadian Time Trial Championships in 2012 and 2013. The Masters H category rounded out the day’s competition, with Anna Tykoliz (St. Catharines Cycling Club) adding to a 2023 tally that includes the Canadian Esports and Gravel Championships (Masters Women 65+).

The next day saw the men’s categories battle strong winds and a long climb for the road race. Three athletes crossed the finish line to add their name to the Canadian Championship history books: Maxime Forget (Rackultra), Nicolas Proulx (Les Rouleurs Polo-Vélo) and Éric Provost (Clan Knox) won the Masters A, B and C categories, respectively.

Adams collected his second Masters D title of the weekend, commenting, “This is my eighth Canadian Championship jersey in all disciplines – track, time trial and road. But I’ve never won in the same year and I’ve only won the road race once before so for me it’s really special. It was a bit of a grind to try and drop the peloton and end up in the breakaway. Ultimately, the entire podium drooped the peloton and when I was with those two guys, I knew I was going to win the sprint. So I was able to sit and be very patient and didn’t even initiate the sprint until 100m to the line.”

The women’s turn to race came on Canada Day. Jodi Wendland (The Cyclery) used experience gained winning the 2023 Gravel Championships (Master Women 35-44) to clinch the Masters E category, while Caroline Montminy (Équipe Studio Vélo) built on last year’s second-place road race finish to win the Masters F for 2023. Champagne and Tykoliz also earned their second maple leaf jerseys of the weekend in their respective categories.

“It never gets old, it is always so very humbling and with the greatest of gratitude being able to wear this jersey, especially on July 1 – how amazing is that? And I think my [Cycling Canada] socks helped out, too,” joked Tykoliz, who used the event to qualify for the UCI Cycling World Championships in Glasgow, GBR. “All the athletes have had just an amazing experience and really appreciate [Grand Prix Cycliste de Beauce] being able to host. And I am very proud that I now get to go to Scotland!”

The event finished on July 2 with a hilly 50min criterium, where Tykoliz (Masters E) and Adams (Masters D) successfully completed a title trifecta and Provost (Masters C) claimed a second Championship. A handful of athletes made the most of the opportunity to earn their first Champion’s jersey: Samuel Blanchette (Siboire-GFT) in the Master A category; Patrick Tremblay (Les Rouleurs Polo-Vélo) in the Masters B; Pauline Diaz (ECF – Communimed p/p Davélo) in the Masters E; Josée Rossignol (Ecomax/Velogare) in the Masters F; and Dawn Heinemeyer (Calgary Crankmasters) in the Masters G.

“I kept checking behind me to see where the other girls were and kept trying to expand; it was magical to create a gap like that,” commented Rossignol. “We had our peloton with around 25 Masters girls. It was a good thing to have a lot of Master Women to compete this weekend, it was such a great experience. Since a lot of women quit after 35, we want to encourage more women to compete.”

The full list of results can be found here. Next up on the Canadian Championships calendar is the Canadian Downhill MTB Championships from July 15-16 in Fernie, BC. The full calendar of national events can be found on the Cycling Canada website.

SIX NATIONAL TITLES CLINCHED AT 2023 CANADIAN BMX RACING CHAMPIONSHIPS

Drummondville, QC (July 1, 2023) – Nearly 700 athletes celebrated Canada Day by contesting the Canadian BMX Racing Championships on July 1, 2023, in Drummondville, QC.

In the Elite category, Ryan Tougas (ODI, Fly Racing, Chase BMX) stayed cool and collected to win all of his races, reclaiming the men’s Championship title that he held in 2021. His counterpart Molly Simpson (Daylight Cycles) led a combined field of play including U23 and Junior athletes on her way to collect a third consecutive women’s Championship and eighth national title overall.

“I’ve been travelling around the world so racing on home soil, I appreciate it so much,” said Simpson, who currently sits sixth in the UCI BMX Women Elite Ranking. “The atmosphere is electric, racing this race is one of my favorites. [The Canadian BMX community] all support each other so much. We’re just here to ride bikes and have fun, and everybody’s happy for everybody no matter the results. It’s definitely motivating.”

The U23 Men category was a fierce battleground for 2022 Junior Champion Max Ganakovsky (Maximal Advantage, Meybo, WLM Design) and Thomas Jodoin (Équipe du Québec), who traded first- and second-place finishes across three motos before Jodoin ultimately secured the win.

“It’s my first-ever national title so it just feels incredible,” commented Jodoin. “I didn’t really expect much going into this weekend and it all worked out. It was really nice to race in front of the home crowd. It was awesome just being at the gate and when they said my name, everybody started cheering.”

Mathilde Brisebois (Équipe du Québec) topped the U23 Women category, building on her bronze finish as a Junior in 2022.

Keira Murphy (Cycling BC) came away with her second consecutive title in the Junior Women category, while Carson Kowaski (Rift/Tangent Canada) became a first-time champion for the Junior Men. He reflected, “When I got to the finish line, it was pretty emotional. A wave of relief hit me, that I actually got a good lap done so it was a really good feeling. I felt like I had a horrible semi, I almost didn’t make it. In the main, I just got myself completely in the zone as much as I could, told myself what I had to do and executed what I could.”

In addition to the Championship classes, medals were awarded in Challenge classes for age group racing from as young as 5 years old. The full list of results can be found here.

Next up on the Canadian Championships calendar is the Canadian Downhill MTB Championships from July 15-16 in Fernie, BC. The full calendar of national events can be found on the Cycling Canada website.

DOUBLE WEEKEND OF CANADIAN CHAMPIONSHIPS COMING TO QUEBEC

Ottawa, ON (June 28, 2023) – The Canadian BMX Racing Championships and the Canadian Road Championships for Masters are coming to the province of Quebec on June 29-July 3, where athletes from all over the country will put it all on the line to become Canadian Champions.

“We have ourselves another exciting weekend of Championship events with BMX racing and Masters road cycling taking over in Quebec,” said Jolène Dupuis, Cycling Canada’s Events and Officials Manager. “Switching gears from the Elite/JR/Para Road Championships, we’re thrilled to see both events bring together large communities that share the same passion of cycling regardless of their discipline. We are thankful for our local organizers for welcoming us and the athletes for what will no doubt be a great weekend in cycling!”

In Drummondville, over 550 BMX riders will compete for the maple leaf jersey in the Junior (17-18), U23 (19-22) and Elite (23+) categories, with medals also awarded in challenge classes for participants as young as five years old.

Molly Simpson will look to secure an eighth national title, fresh off top-five finishes at the first four 2023 UCI BMX Racing World Cup stages. With the recent retirement of reigning Elite Men Champion, Olympian James Palmer, Ryan Tougas will be looking to reclaim the title he held in 2021. Defending Champions will also be challenged by new divisions, with Max Ganakovsky moving from the Junior Men to U23 category and Curtis Krey moving from the U23 Men to the Elite.

On Sunday, riders will also have the opportunity to compete in the first round of the BMX Canada Cup Series.

That same weekend, Masters athletes will race for the maple leaf jersey on the roads of St-Georges-de-Beauce in conjunction with the Quebec Provincial Championships. More than 300 riders will take on the 18.6km loop of the time trial on Thursday, followed by road races ranging from 71.1-118.5km in length on Friday and Saturday, ending the weekend on Sunday with a 50min-long criterium.

The field is stacked with defending champions: all but six of 23 winners from last year’s event will be returning to protect their titles. Several athletes are also looking to collect multi-discipline accolades in 2023, including Uli Mayer and Jeremie Fontanaud, who are coming off wins from January’s Canadian Track Championships. Anna Tykoliz will also be looking to add to her ever-growing record after her second consecutive Canadian ESports Championship (Women 65+) this past February.

2023 CANADIAN ROAD CHAMPIONSHIPS (ELITE/JR/PARA) PACK IN THE ACTION

Ottawa, ON (June 27, 2023) – Canada’s brightest junior, elite and para talents converged in Edmonton, AB, from June 23-26 for their chance at one of 30 coveted titles at the 2023 Canadian Road Championships.

Individual Time Trials Set the Tone
Competition kicked off with the individual time trials on June 23, which saw a balance of returning and new Canadian Champions.

Maple leaf jerseys were awarded to eight para athletes, including Jessica Law in the women’s C1-5 category; Paralympian Michael Sametz (Team Alberta) in the men’s C1-5 category; Paralympian Shelley Gautier (Team Ontario) in the women’s T1-2 category; and Martin Duif in the women and men’s H1-2 category.

Lowell Taylor (Team Alberta), competing in the men’s B category, added another national title to his 2023 collection after winning the first-ever para Canadian Esports Champion title in February. Carla Shibley (Team Alberta) returned to take the crown in the women’s B category for a second year, and Équipe du Quebec’s Louis Albert Corriveau Jolin and Paralympian Charles Moreau improved on their second-place finishes from 2022 to win the Men T1-2 and Women & Men H3-5 categories, respectively.

The Juniors saw 2023 Canadian Track Champion Nora Linton (AG Insurance-Soudal Quick-Step U19 Team) claim the women’s time trial title, while Matthew Ney (Red Truck Racing P/B Mosaic Homes) was first to stop the clock for the men. U23 men’s gold went to Michael Leonard (INEOS Grenadiers), while the women’s top spot went to Ngaire Barraclough for the second year running.

The Elite podium saw defending champions Paula Findlay and Derek Gee (Israel – Premier Tech), a month off of his impressive performance at the Giro d’Italia, successfully maintain their titles.

“This is really important to me, I put all my focus on this,” said Olympic triathlete Findlay of the win in front of her hometown crown. “Last year, I didn’t know what to expect and this year, I think I was a little more prepared with training for it specifically… I just race in triathlons so kind of learning still but it was really hard but also fun. I love this kind of racing where I can just go hard, cross the line and be done and not do a run so it was a good, hard day.”

Hometown Heroes Put on a Show in Road Races
The following day featured the Para and Junior road races. After conquering the time trials, Sametz (Men MC1-3), Duif (Men MH1-2), Gautier (Women WT1), Taylor (Men MB) and Shibley (Women WB) found themselves winning back-to-back titles in their respective road race categories. They were joined in the history books by Men MC4 Champion Piotr Czyzowicz (Équipe du Quebec), who reclaimed the title after his win in 2021, and Men MT1-2 Champion, Paralympian Nathan Clement.

Joey Desjardins, who won the men’s MH3-5 category, commented, “Winning the national title in the road race reinforces all the hard work I put in over the nine years since my first attendance at nationals. It’s a good feeling to trust in one’s ability and to take it home!”

Ethan Powell (Team Ontario) led the way for Junior men, building off of his winning experience at the 2023 Canadian Track Championships. Alexandra Volstad (Team Alberta), who also has Canadian Track Championships to her name from 2022, took home top honours for the women riding alongside teammates from her province: “The team was huge, they’re my best friends and I love racing with them locally so it feels pretty special to race with them at the national level.”

Alexandra Volstad wins the Junior women’s road race.

Track star Sarah Van Dam (DNA Pro Cycling Team) finished first in the women’s U23; her counterpart on the men’s side was Philippe Jacob (Team Ecoflo Chronos).

Elite athletes had their shot at a national road race title on June 25. For the men, it was Nickolas Zukowsky (Q36.5 Pro Cycling) who emerged victorious, while Alison Jackson (EF Education – TIBCO – SVB), winner of Paris-Roubaix Femmes earlier this year, captured the maple leaf jersey for the women. She said, “We don’t have so many races in my home province and to have all my family here, it’s definitely a special feeling. I’m just really happy to get to represent Canada with this jersey all year. When you can put on a great show and a great bike race for your friends, family and fans, that’s what it’s all about.”

Final Push in the Criterium
Four days of hard racing for Juniors and Elites concluded on June 26 with the criterium. Linton asserted her dominance in the Junior women’s category, while the men’s title went to 2023 Canadian Esports Champion, Patrick Harris (Ignite Junior Cycling).

Elite athletes closed the event, with Holly Simonson (LA Sweat) and Alec Cowan (Legion of LA) taking home the final two gold medals in the women’s and men’s races, respectively. Both riders had made it onto the 2022 criterium podium, but 2023 saw them earn the top step for the first time.

Alec Cowan gives his all to take home the Elite men’s criterium title.

Next up on the Canadian Championships calendar is the Canadian Road Championships for Masters and the Canadian BMX Championships, which will both be held from June 29-July 2 in Quebec.

FIRST CANADIAN GRAVEL CHAMPIONS CROWNED AT 2023 PARIS TO ANCASTER

Ancaster, ON (May 1, 2023) – 12 riders battled through rain and mud and up the legendary final hill of Paris to Ancaster to claim victory in the inaugural Canadian Gravel Championships presented by Argon 18, held on April 30, 2023, in Hamilton, ON.

Championship contenders joined the 3,000 participants of Paris to Ancaster, Canada’s longest standing gravel event, in tackling a 108.9km course winding through fields and hills, featuring an impressive 874m of climbing.

First across the finish line for the Canadian Gravel Championships was Evan Russell (Saint Piran) in the elite men’s category, clocking an impressive time of 3:01:43 – a mere five seconds behind the overall Paris to Ancaster winner, Curtis White (USA).

“It’s pretty unreal, to be honest, standing up there with the Canadian jersey,” said Russell, who cracked the top 20 in the 2021 and 2022 Canadian Road Championships. “I knew with 5K to go, that’s where I would want to attack. I caught Curtis before the main climb and it was just us to the finish. It gets chaotic, you’re cold and muddy, and then you come over [the final climb] and you’re Canadian national champ. It’s a great feeling.”

Claiming the maple leaf jersey for the elite women was Devon Clarke (The Cyclery), stopping the clock at 3:23:48 in her second year of Paris to Ancaster competition.

Both born in 2007, Ashlin Barry (EF Education-ONTO) and Rafaelle Carrier (CVM Sigma Assurance) had strong U19/Junior showings to capture gold in their respective men’s and women’s categories.

John Vanderveen (Riverway Dental Racing) led the Masters pack, finishing less than 10 minutes off of Russell’s time to earn the men’s 35-44 gold. The women’s 35-44 top spot went to Jodi Wendland (The Cyclery). For Masters 44-54, it was Chris Pollett (London Centennial Wheelers) who brought home the title of Champion, while Amy Moore (Collingwood Collective) stood on top of the women’s podium. Bruce Bird (Wheels of Bloor) earned the gold medal for men’s 55-64 and his counterpart, Andrea Moritz, topped the women’s podium. Rounding out the inaugural class of gravel gold medallists was James Laird (Limestone City Cycling), who competed in the Masters 65+ men’s category, and Anna Tykoliz (St. Catharines Cycling) for the women’s.

“I’m so pleased I’m going to be in the history books [as the first Canadian Gravel Champion (Masters 65+ F)]. That is really amazing,” said Tykoliz. “I have never had that much mud in my whole life. It was epic. Thank you so much to the volunteers, they were so kind, the course was marked beautifully and I had a lot of fun.”

The full list of results can be found here. Next up on the Canadian Championships calendar is the Canadian Road Championships, to be held from June 23-26 in Edmonton, AB. The full calendar of national events can be found on the Cycling Canada website.

Over 300 Junior, Elite and Master athletes will take on the 112km race with 896m of climbing and a route characterized by 65% unpaved surfaces.

Their impeccable event hosting and the unmatched atmosphere they create will ensure that the inaugural Canadian Gravel Championships is one to remember.”

A bevy of top riders will be part of the pack racing to claim the title of first-ever Canadian Gravel Champion, including multiple-time Canadian Cyclo-cross Champions and winners of the 2022 edition of Paris to Ancaster, Maghalie Rochette and Michael van den Ham, and current Cyclo-cross Elite Canadian Champion, Tyler Clark. They will be joined on the starting line by fellow 2022-2023 Canadian National Cycling Team athletes Filipe Duarte, Ruby West and Alexander Woodford.
