At the end of the first Lap

The start of the race was delayed for over half an hour to remove illegally parked cars from the course. The first lap was pretty uneventful. The pack is staying together, though Barbara Heeb is beginning to push the pace and she won the first mountain sprint. The speed climbing Mount Royal was 30 kmph. It has just begun to rain.
