July 21/19 21:20 pm - Pickrell 2nd in Final Stage of Abitibi
Posted by Editoress on 07/21/19
The 51st edition of the Tour de l'Abitibi concluded on Sunday after seven stages and 677.8 kilometres of racing. Michael Garrison (Team USA) took the title, holding the Brown Jersey through every stage. Luke Carreau (Equipe du Quebec) was the top Canadian finisher in third place, one minute and 29 seconds behind Garrison, and 15 seconds in front of Jacob Rubuliak (Team Canada).
Team Canada finished on the podium in five stages, with Riley Pickrell winning Stage 4, plus taking second in each of the last two stages, while Jackson Kinniburgh was second in Stage 5 and Rubuliak was third in Stage 3. Rubuliak was second in the Best Young Rider (1st year Junior) competition, Pickrell was third in the Points competition, Felix Olivier Moreau was third in the Climber's competition, and Team Canada finished third in the Team competition.
"This project is always a fantastic opportunity for our guys to learn and be exposed to a higher level of racing and a different style of racing," said team manager Kevin Field. "Like every year, the Americans bring a really, really strong team - congrats to them for a great race. They were the strongest team here and it showed."
"For us, we had some good stages and some stages where our timing or execution were a bit off ... that's normal, and a fantastic learning/development experience that pays itself forward for our young athletes. I'm really proud of how the guys rode."
Kevin Field did an analysis of the race results:
Podiums
USA
- 13 stage/GC podiums
- 5 of 7 stage wins, GC win
- USA won every classification: Points, KOM, Young and Team
Canada
- 5 podiums
- 1 stage win, 4th overall
- 3rd in Points, Team and KOM, 2nd in Young
- Impressive ride by Rubuliak, 1st year Junior
- 11 top-10's
Equipe du Quebec
- 2 podiums (no wins)
- 3rd on GC
Team Metropolitan
- 1 podium, which was a stage win
Team California and Team France also has stage podiums
"So, all in all, Team Canada was the second best team at the Tour this year, I'd say. I was particularly happy to see we placed three in the top-10 in the Time Trial; that shows the overall depth of the team and the athletes we had in Team Canada."
