Cycling Canada – Baie-Comeau, QC (August 16, 2018) – After a strong showing at the UCI Para-cycling Road World Championships, where Canada won seven medals, including four gold, Cycling Canada will conclude the para-cycling road season on home soil in Baie-Comeau, Quebec, for the third and final round of the Road World Cup. Canada will send a team of 29 riders across all categories, including the three newly titled world champions.
