HOULE SECOND OVERALL IN FINAL TOUR DE BEAUCE STANDINGS

(St-Georges, QC – June 19, 2016) Team Canada’s Hugo Houle did everything possible to win the Tour de Beauce on Sunday in the final stage, but in the end could not erase the 16 second deficit he had to American road champion Greg Daniel. Houle had his third podium appearance of the race, finishing second to Daniel in the final stage, and taking second in the overall standings.

The fifth and final stage sends the riders on 12 laps of a 10.2 kilometre circuit that is dominated by a two kilometre climb. Riders get little recovery time, since the rest of the circuit twists and turns through residential streets. More than once, a race leader has lost the jersey after his team could not respond to the constant attacks put forth by rival contenders.

A break of five went clear on the second lap, driven by Canadian pro Rob Britton (Rally Cycling). Also in the break were Joshua Berry (Jelly Belly), Ryan Anderson (Team Canada), Alexis Cartier (Garneau Quebecor) and Matteo Dal-Cin (Silber). A few laps later, Thomas Vaubourzeix (Lupus) and Jordan Cheyne (Jelly Belly) bridged across, while Berry was dropped.

The break grew to over two minutes, making Britton the virtual race leader, but Axeon began to chase in earnest, and the gap shrank until with just under three laps to go the leaders were caught.

Houle attacked every time up the climb, but Daniel could not be shaken. After Houle’s attack the final time up the climb only 12 riders were left. Out of the final corner with 500 metres to go, Houle made the first move, but Daniel was on his wheel, and came by to take the win in the last 50 metres.

For Houle, it was a case of being outgunned by a stronger team. “Greg Daniel had a really strong team and was really strong himself. I was just not able to get him off my wheel; I tried pretty hard, but there was nothing I could do. On the last lap I tried from the bottom of the climb, but he just stayed on my wheel. I tried everything I could, but at the top of the hill it was over, so I decided to go for the stage win. I brought back Morton and Perry with 500 metres and then I had to go, but Greg was on my wheel and he passed me at the end.”

“I think I finished stronger then I started, so that’s a good sign for Nationals. I don’t think I could have raced Tour de Beauce better then I did this year, with the team we had, which wasn’t as strong as Axeon. I did my best and came second … so I will have to come back again!”

In addition to Houle, there were three more Canadians in the top-10 of the final classification, with Britton seventh, Alex Cataford (Silber) ninth and David Drouin (Team Canada) tenth. Drouin, appearing in his first Tour de Beauce, finished third in the Under-23 category.

HOULE 16 SECONDS OUT OF LEAD AS BEAUCE ENTERS FINAL STAGE

(Quebec, QC – June 18, 2016) Team Canada’s Hugo Houle remains in second place in the overall standings at the Tour de Beauce after finishing sixth in Stage 4 on Saturday. Houle is 16 seconds behind race leader Gregory Daniel of the United States going into Sunday’s final stage.

The Quebec City stage is usually a tough circuit race through streets of Old Quebec with a steep climb from the St Lawrence River to the upper town. However, this year organizers substituted a criterium, with 35 laps of a two kilometre circuit.

The first ten laps saw numerous attempts to form a break, with the largest consisting of 20 riders, including Daniel, second placed Houle and other GC riders. However, the GC teams that were not in the break brought it back.

A small break of five riders that were not a threat to the overall standings attacked, gaining an advantage of nearly a minute, before being brought back to 18 seconds by the finish. Estonia’s Mikhel Raim won the stage, ahead of Canadian riders Pierrick Naud (Rally Cycling) and Ben Perry (Silber).

Daniel goes into Sunday’s final stage with 16 seconds on Houle (down from the previously published 18 seconds after a timing correction). The last circuit race in St-Georges is ten laps of a 12 kilometre circuit, with a long climb that has completely blown the race apart in some previous editions when the race leader’s team is not strong enough to control. Team Canada will work hard to put Daniel under pressure and create an opportunity for Houle to become the first Canadian champion at Beauce since 2008.

HOULE SEVEN SECONDS OUT OF YELLOW AFTER STAGE 3 AT BEAUCE

(Ottawa, ON – June 17, 2016) Gregory Daniel (Axeon Hagens Berman) held onto the Yellow jersey at the Tour de Beauce by a slim seven second margin over Team Canada’s Hugo Houle on Friday after the 19.4 kilometre time trial. Daniel’s team mate Neilson Powless won the stage.

The rolling out-and-back course with a headwind return came a day after riders had faced the Mont Megantic mountain top finish, so legs were heavy. Geoffrey Curran, another young Axeon rider, set the first fast time of 24:44, and it would prove to be good enough for fourth place.

Powless knocked five seconds off that time and then had to wait for the top GC contenders to finish. Robin Carpenter (Holowesko/Citadel p/b Hincapie) came within one second, while Canadian time trial champion Hugo Houle (Team Canada) had to settle for third. Daniel took eighth, 17 seconds back but, more importantly, only 12 seconds behind Houle to keep the jersey.

For Houle, his ride wasn’t enough to take Yellow, but moved him closer. “I wasn’t surprised at how well [Daniel] rode, I’ve known him for a few years and he is strong. I had a strong ride, and put out the power that I could on this type of course, so I’m satisfied. For sure, I had it in my mind to win the stage, but third is good and I’m not too far away from the lead. It’s not a bad situation to be seven seconds down with three stages to go.”

The riders face a second stage Friday evening; a 78 kilometre race on a circuit, that finishes with a 300 metre climb the hits 21% before the finish line, and could open a few time gaps.

HOULE MOVES TO WITHIN 19 SECONDS OF TOUR DE BEAUCE LEAD

(St-Georges, QC – June 16, 2016) Team Canada’s Hugo Houle finished third at the queen stage of the Tour de Beauce on Thursday, and now sits only 19 seconds out of the overall lead. The 170 kilometre second stage of Beauce finished at the top of the Mont Megantic climb, which averages 12% for the entire length and maxes out at 18%, and came down to a battle of climbers over the final few kilometres.

American national champion Gregory Daniel (Axeon Hagens Berman) now holds the Yellow, Points and Young Rider jerseys, despite finishing 1:13 down on stage winner Sepp Kuss (Rally Cycling).

The race began with multiple break attempts, but nothing stuck until the race had covered nearly 30 kilometres. A large group of 24 riders broke clear, including three members of the Team Canada squad – Ryan Anderson, William Elliott and Kyle Buckosky.

The gap never went over two and a half minutes, but stubbornly refused to shrink until the final 25 kilometres. The break was shrinking in size as well, with seven riders remaining as they hit the Megantic climb, and only 20 seconds in front of the vastly reduced peloton, containing Houle.

Houle said that the day went well for Team Canada, “I was not concerned about the break because we had a good guy up there, Ryan Anderson, and two more team members. I made the call to not go when it went, because everyone was watching me and it would bring it back. The Silber and Lupus teams realized they were in trouble so they had to chase all day long. We caught the break at the bottom of the climb and then it was time to do my job.”

“I came here saying I wanted to win the GC and I had to respond today and get some time on others. I gave everything I could and I’m pretty happy. The guy from Rally [Kuss] was really strong and he was right on my wheel. I just rode as hard as I could to gain some time on other guys. When he went I could not respond. It was a really good day for Cycling Canada, and I’ll see tomorrow if I can get some more time.”

Gregory Daniel now leads by 11 seconds over Kuss, with Houle and Lemus at 19 seconds, Butler at 24, Morton at 41 and Ryan Roth (Silber) at 55 seconds. Friday is a double stage day, with a 19.4 kilometre time trial in the morning and a 78 kilometre circuit race in the evening. Houle, the current Canadian time trial champion, and Roth, who finished second to Houle, have to be clear favourites to do well, but the question is how much can Daniel and Kuss limit the damage?

“We have a lot of good riders here,” agreed Houle, “but I’m confident in my TT skills, and it’s going to be really important for me to do a big ride; it’s come down to me, to see if I can gain that 19 seconds tomorrow.”

Canada had a strong day on Megantic, with three in the top ten and seven in the top 20. One rider of particular note is David Drouin, riding for Team Canada. Drouin was 13th on the stage and is 14th overall – third in the Under-23 standings. He is also a local Beauce resident (from the village of St-Prosper, where tomorrow’s time trial starts and finishes). He also holds the distinction of being the only Beauce rider to have ever raced Tour de Beauce for the national team.

ANDERSON LEADS TEAM CANADA ON STAGE 1 AT TOUR DE BEAUCE

(St-Georges, QC – June 15, 2016) Ryan Anderson was the top rider for Team Canada in stage 1 of the Tour de Beauce on Wednesday, in 19th place. Anderson finished in the main group, one minute and 16 seconds behind Mikhel Raim of Estonia, who was part of a race-long breakaway that stayed clear to the finish line. Top Canadian rider for the day was Ryan Roth of Silber Pro Cycling, in seventh place with the same time as Anderson.

The 185-kilometre stage featured strong winds and the usual Beauce climbs. Riders headed out 30 kilometres from the town of St-Georges to a 14.7 kilometre circuit for eight laps, before returning to their starting point, for a final 200 metre uphill finish. The circuit was dominated by a 15% climb through the village of St-Odilon.

A break of seven riders formed at the front of the race, reaching a maximum lead of seven minutes before Team Canada led the chase to bring them back, falling short by just over a minute.

“The guys were strong at the front,” said Ryan Anderson (Team Canada), who finished 19th, “but I think that some of the teams just waited a bit too long until they really committed to the chase. Rally [Cycling Team] and Silber committed with us, but the big one that missed out today was [Team] Jelly Belly. At the end they did a lot of work, but not enough to bring it all the way back. It’s my first Tour de Beauce and I would have liked a crack at the first stage, but I think there are more good stages for me to come.”

Raim will go into stage 2 with both the leader’s Yellow jersey and the white Points jersey. U.S. champion Gregory Daniel (Axeon) finished second to Raim, and holds the Red jersey for Best Young Rider, while Chad Beyer (Lupus) leads the Climber’s competition. Team Canada is sixth in the team standings, two minutes and 24 seconds behind the Cycling Academy Team of Raim.

Stage 2, the Queen Stage of Beauce, will likely completely overhaul the standings on Thursday, after finishing on top of the five kilometre climb to Mont Mégantic.

ROAD TITLES AWARDED AT 2016 GLOBAL RELAY CANADIAN MASTERS ROAD CHAMPIONSHIPS P/B LEXUS

(St-Calixte, QC – June 12, 2016) The 2016 Global Relay Canadian Masters Road Championships presented by Lexus concluded on Sunday with the road race championships, awarded across two categories for women and four for men. Held in Saint-Calixte, Quebec, nearly 250 competitors, ranging in age from 30 to over 70, raced in cool, blustery conditions for national titles.

In the women’s categories, Karine Corbeil of Quebec won the 79.7 kilometre 30-39 age title, outsprinting Emily Rodger of New Brunswick and Sophie Gattuso of Quebec. Zeina Loutfi of Quebec won the 40-plus race in a sprint against Chantal Gosselin (Quebec) and Pier-Pascale Hutsebaut (Quebec).

“The race went very well for me,” said Loutfi, 40-plus champion. “I’m happy, because 2014 in Sainte-Calixte was the very first race I did, and I love this race, and I love the people here because they are outside cheering all the time. The race is very selective and the girls were very strong today. I tried to go on the hills every lap and got caught every time. I’m thrilled with this win.”

The 143.5 kilometre men’s 30-39 race came down to a two-way sprint, with Eric Loiselle of Quebec outkicking Jean-Francois Leduc, also of Quebec. The 40-49 category saw Michel Jean of Quebec win by a slim one second margin over Shannon Hunt of Ontario, while the 50-59 race featured another two-up sprint, with Lorenzo Caterini (Nova Scotia) beating Ron Amos (Ontario). In the 60-plus category, Richard Westwood of Ontario outsprinted Robert Anderson (Canadian, but residing in California) for the national title.

Michel Jean, the 40-49 winner, said, “I tried many times to go on the climbs, but the pack always came back. On the last lap there was a breakaway which I joined and we worked together until the final 800 metres. Hunt attacked with 600 metres to go and I was able to come up to him. I saw that he was blown, so I was able to sprint for the victory. I’m very happy for this win because in 2014 I finished second in a photofinish.”

MASTERS ROAD NATIONALS OPEN WITH SIX TIME TRIAL TITLES AWARDED

(St-Calixte, QC – June 11, 2016) National championship titles were awarded across six categories in the Individual Time Trial on Saturday, at the 2016 Global Relay Canadian Masters Road Championships presented by Lexus, in Saint-Calixte, Quebec.

Men and women competed in age categories ranging from 30 years to 60-plus in the timed event. Women’s titles were awarded for the 30 to 39, and 40-plus age groups, with Emily Rodger of New Brunswick taking the under 40 title, and Annick Dufour of Quebec the 40-plus title.

The men’s competition was divided into four age groups, from 30-39, up to 60-plus, with the oldest competitor over 70 years of age. Dan Doddy of Ontario won the 30-39 title, while Yannick Lemire of Quebec became national champion in the 40-49 competition. In the 50-59 event, Ron Amos of Ontario was the winner, with Robert Anderson (Canadian, but residing in California) taking the 60-plus title.

“It was a really tough race,” commented Doddy. “It didn’t start out that well for me, with a flat before the start. It was a technical course. Last year I had some mechanical problems and finished second, so this is my first Canadian title. I drove ten hours to come back here and win this time trial.”

In the 60-plus category, Anderson admitted, “there was some pressure because I want to go to the world championships, and this is the one place I can qualify. It was a course that suited me, but I knew it was going to be close and that seconds would matter, so I had to bury myself. But it ended up working out, and I won by six seconds.” This is Anderson’s third time trial title, and seventh national title, including two in mountain biking.

“The course was awesome,” said 50-59 age group winner Ron Amos. “Technical, with some steep hills, and at the end just hang on and ride the corners as fast as you could run them. It was nice community support, with the people out on the side of the road cheering us on.”

The final selections for 2016 will be made by the Cycling Canada Board of Directors based on the ranking by the working group and the public input provided through an online vote. We encourage members of the cycling community to go to the ballot and vote for the candidates.
