La Classique de Quebec
with files from Kris Westwood & organizers

This one day race was held today around the island of Orleans, just outside of the city of Quebec. The riders headed out from Quebec to complete two loops around the island before heading back to the city, for a total of 165 kilometres. On the second loop of the island a group of 14 riders formed, including Canadians Gord Fraser (Mercury), Dominique Perras (Team G.S. Ficonseils), Eric Wohlberg (Saturn), Czeslaw Lukaszewicz (Team Canada) and Mark Walters (Navigators), plus Elio Aggiano (Mapei-Quick Step), Zbigniew Piatek and Raimondes Vilcinskas (both Mroz Supradyn Witaminy). The group was further split in the final kilometres when Vilcinskas, Piatek and Aggiano broke away on their own. With Mroz having a 2-man advantage at the front, they looked to be in good shape for the finish, until Vilcinskas flatted in the town of Beauport and received a slow change. In the final sprint, the Italian Aggiano proved to be too powerful for Piatek. Vilcinskas came in solo for third, and Fraser won the sprint in the chase group for fourth, followed by Perras.
