The crowd was the only thing pouring into Historic Downtown Charlottetown as the rain held off, with thousands of spectators cheering on 76 riders in an electrifying criterium that circled a one-kilometre city block fifty times.
Jenny Trew (Canadian National Team) raced to her first stage win in Canada’s Birthplace, finishing in 1 hour 12 minutes 25 seconds. Chasing her to the line were Lauren Kitchen (Australia National Team) and Alessandra Borchi (Specialized-Mazda-Group Samson Mixed) in second and third place respectively.
“It has been an honour for the City of Charlottetown to have had the opportunity to host the highly anticipated criterium leg of Tour de PEI for the past three years,” stated Mayor Clifford Lee. “While Charlottetown is a popular destination for hosting high profile major sporting events, the Tour de PEI was a unique, culturally diverse addition to our event schedule. It is our hope that the opportunity will arise for Charlottetown to welcome back the cycling world in the future,” added Mayor Lee.
Atlantic Cycling Centre’s Tara Whitten triumphed over rival, Bridie O’Donnell (Australian National Team, 5 seconds), and teammate, Moriah Jo MacGregor (Atlantic Cycling Centre, 40 seconds), to capture the Tourism PEI yellow jersey in the general classification. Wearing the Scotiabank sprinter jersey for the second year in a row was Rochelle Gilmore (Lotto Belisol Ladiesteam). Carla Swart (MTN Energade) was the PEI Ford Dealer’s Queen of the Mountain.
Tour de PEI, presented by Scotiabank, was a five-day, five-stage International women’s cycling race that took place on Prince Edward Island June 7-11, 2009. It was made possible, in part, through funding from the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency, the Province of Prince Edward Island, Confederation Bridge and the Ford Dealers of Prince Edward Island.
