The final stage is just now starting. It is a 180 km road race through rolling country, with the finish in St-Georges downtown with a 4 lap circuit containing an 18 percent grade climb in it.

Andreas Hestler withdrew from the race this morning, leaving only Neil Grover on the Team Canada Squad. Grover told us that he has never raced here before and wanted to finish the race. Go Neil!!

The weather is hot and sunny and with this course should provide a very tough day of racing.
