Ottawa, ON (Sept.11, 2024) – Cycling Canada is pleased to announce the selection of its teams for the Grands Prix Cyclistes de Québec and Montréal, taking place on Sept. 13 and 15, as well as for the Tour de Gatineau, taking place on Sept. 20 and 21.
As every year, the GPCQM organization will welcome the Canadian national team as a guest team. This is a golden opportunity for young athletes to develop their experience in an international peloton, all in front of a Canadian crowd.

Focused on the development of young female athletes, the team selection for the Tour de Gatineau will feature Canadian athletes who are already proving themselves internationally, including Kiara Lylyk and Lily Plante who represented Canada at the 2024 UCI Track Nations Cup in Milton, Ontario.
