Tunnel Mountain Road Race
A massive bunched sprint closed the final stage of the Banff National Park Bike Fest, with Dave Vukets of Trek Red Truck Racing grabbing his first win of the five-stage race. A small group had stayed off the front for the latter part of the 117 kilometre Tunnel Mountain Road Race, but were reeled in with 2 laps to go, setting the stage for an exciting 24-rider sprint to the finish. Cyrus Kangarloo (Team H&R Block - Kona) powered his way to second with Dan Skinner (Garneau Evolution) taking third.
The smaller women's field broke up early in their 52 kilometre event, with a three-rider break working together to the finish. Alison Testroete of Total Restoration Cycling Team took her first stage win of the weekend, followed by Julie Beveridge, (Team TIBCO), and Heather Kay (ERTC Revolution Cycling).
Dave Sparling finished in the lead pack to hold onto the yellow jersey he'd worn since the first stage. Trek Red Truck Racing completed the sweep of the men's General Classification with Rob Britton taking second just 3.6 seconds down, and Dave Vukets in third, off 32.3 seconds. Julie Beveridge also held the yellow jersey for all 3 stages of the women's race, winning the General Classification by 2:54.5 over Alison Testroete, with Heather Kay third, 4:22.4 off the pace.
