3 Day Memorial Race in honour of Tillsonburg resident Albert Coulier at London's Forest City Velodrome

Salute: When a six day rider retired, the current field would salute while the rider lapped the track. When a rider passed away, the riders salute and spin their wheel in a last lap

Day 3, the last day, started right where day 2 left off - fast and furious battles between teams in both divisions of the madison race.

Elite podium:  2nd Doug Devine/ Brian Trafford, 1st Dave Byer/ Steph Bester, 3rd Will Simmons/ Geoff Power

In the Elite Division the team of Dave Byer and Steph Bester of London managed to control all attacks and hold on to their lead. Team Red of London's Geoff Power and Will Simmonds attacked throughout the night as did Team Green of Doug Devine and Brian Trafford of Ottawa. The final result wasn't decided until the very last sprint which was won by Byer and Bester.

Final Results at end of day 3:

B Madison Podium: 2nd Candice Vermeulen/Logan McIntyre, 1st John Houston/Adam Matthews, 3rd Joe Brennan/Peter Junic
