August 19/14 10:48 am - Mississippi Mills Grand Prix: report and results
Posted by Editoress on 08/19/14
The Mississippi Mills Grand Prix Stage Race, Ontario's only elite stage race returned for a third consecutive year in the town and surrounding areas of Mississippi Mills (near Ottawa ON) on August 15 though 17.
Stage Race
The 3rd edition of the MMGP saw the largest field to date with nearly 80 elite riders taking the start line - including numerous former national champions including Ryan Roth, Aaron Fillion, Alex Cataford, and London Olympian Joelle Numainville.
The Silber Pro Cycling Team came to use Ontario’s only stage race as a tune up for the upcoming Tour of Alberta and if results are any indication they are on the right track as they swept the top four positions – led home by local rider Matteo Dal-Cin, ahead of Roth and Derrick St John in third. Silber left little doubt as that they were the strongest team, winning the team time trial despite a valiant effort by the host club Ride with Rendall who finished second on the stage.
Dal-Cin used a wet and wild criterium to leapfrog teammate Roth as he and Conor O’Brien (Stevens- The Cyclery) lapped the field before Dal-Cin attacked again to take another 40 odd seconds on the field. Matthieu Roy (Velo Select) led home the field nearly three minutes down on Dal-Cin.
The final 170km road stage saw dry weather for the first time over the weekend. Numerous early breakaways gained significant time on the rolling course (featuring a fast 5km gravel section on each of the four laps). In the end a two man breakaway of Mathieu Jeannes (Velo Select) and St. John took home a narrow 9 second lead over the field. Jeannes outkicked St. John to take the win with teammate Dal-Cin leading the field home in third.
Omnium
Fifty plus riders also contested the three -stage points based omnium event, which was won by James White (Ride with Rendall) and Emily Flynn (Stevens-The Cyclery).
A big thank you goes out to all of the volunteers who make this event possible, and to the township of Mississippi Mills for their continued support. Hopefully this unique event on the Ontario Calendar will continue to grow and thrive in coming years!
