The Grand Prix Cycliste, organizers of the Quebec City and Montreal ProTour races scheduled for September 10th and 12th has released the provisional start lists for both races (which is the same for both races except for the Canadian team, with Langlois and Britton swapping for different races).  There are 11 Canadians in the 176 rider field, with Ryder Hesjedal (Garmin-Transitions) getting the Number 1 plate.  In addition to Hesjedal, his team mate Svein Tuft will race. and Michael Barry is listed for Team Sky (although Barry can only be considered tentative, after his rib injury at the Eneco Tour).  Team Canada has the other eight Canadian riders, and is managed by Steve Bauer of SpiderTech powered by Planet Energy.  The Canadian team will be chosen from among 12 riders, and may change for each race:

Ryan Anderson
David Boily
Guillaume Boivin
Rob Britton
Charles Dionne
Martin Gilbert
Keven Lacombe
Bruno Langlois
François Parisien
Dominique Rollin
Will Routley
David Veilleux

The Canadian Team will wear a special jersey, designed by Louis Garneau Inc.

Teams can change their riders up to 72 hours before the start of each event.
