Montréal - 31 août 1999/August 31st 1999

Held in the busy and trendy St. Laurent district of Montreal.

In attendance were Brian Walton (Saturn), Yannick Cojan, Gord Fraser (Mercury), Dominic Perras (Nutrafig), Sylvain Beauchamps (Degree Radio Energie), Eric Wohlberg (Shaklee), Czeslaw Lukascewicz and numerous senior 1 riders. Buona Notte is an anual race with $3,000 in cash to be won.

Estimated crowd was 10,000 to watch the riders maneuver the 40km, 45 lap 800 metre course that consisted of 8 corners, that narrowed in some places to no more than 3 metres.

At the 9 lap mark, Lukascewicz was in the lead with Eric Lyman (Espoirs de Laval-Naya), Sylvain Beauchamps (Degree Radio Energie) hot on his heels. By lap 10 Gord Fraser too the lead and never relenquished it. By the end of the race Fraser had build a 1 minute gap and had lapped the main field. Alexandre Cloutier (Degree Radio Energie) chased Fraser hard during the final laps only to be caught in the final sprint by Dominic Perras.

Notes: Lukascewicz was DNF, John Malois DNS, Cojan flatted and David Zabriskie wanted to race, but knew he would not last 2 laps.

Seen on the sidelines: Steve Rover and Lyn Bessette enjoying the racing with the very enthusiastic crowd.

Many riders are in town preparing for the start of the Trans Canada Tour on Friday in Québec City.
