Tour de l'Aude, France

Leigh Hobson, a member of Team Canada, is sending in daily reports from the Tour de l'Aude. Here is Day 5 (May 9th).

Over the past three years, this stage has always been by far the most windy! We began the 117km from Souilhe and finished in Port Lauragais. Within the first 22km, there were two mountain sprints and two sprints for the sprint jersey...needless to say it was in everyone's best interest to stay at the front!

After approximately 30km of attacking, a group of four managed to get away...Lyne Bessette, Magali Le Floc'h, Arenda Grimberg, and Yvonne Brunen. The group got up to 3 minutes as Hanka Kupfernagel's team held tempo. Team Canada attempted to bridge the gap, but to no avail. As the race neared it's conclusion, the Belgian team brought the gap down to 28 seconds. Magali Le Floc'h took the sprint, Lyne took second, and Arenda and Yvonne were swallowed by the peloton with only one kilometre to go!

Cybil Diguistini holds on to the overall title of Best Young Rider.

Manitoba Midweek MTB Series

The second race in the Kids of Mud Series was held at LaBarriere Park tonight (May 9th). This is the earliest we have been able to access this course in years, as it usually is still covered by winter flood waters. Fifty racers competed on the LaSalle River course. Following this event, Olympia Cycle sponsored an MCA midweek event that challenged twenty nine racers. The results are as follows.

Mario in the Nude

Sprinter Mario Cipollini is garnering lots of press coverage in Europe with his new ad for Reebok. Mario appears nude (well, he is wearing a pair of Reeboks...) in the print campaign. Before you get too excited, you can't see anything other than Mario's very buffed looking physic.


Happy Birthday To...

U.S.-based road pro Scott Price (today), mountain bike pro Andreas (Dr Dre) Hestler (tomorrow) and women's road pro Annie Gariepy (tomorrow).
