December 10/14 15:12 pm - Vote for the Canadian Cyclists of the Year

Posted by Editor on 12/10/14
 

Welcome to the 18th annual Canadian Cyclist of the Year Awards! Once again, it is time for our readers to cast their votes in our three usual categories:

Canadian Cyclist of the Year - Female
Canadian Cyclist of the Year - Male
Best Individual Performance

The rider voting procedure reflects the fact that it can be difficult to select just one athlete to vote for. Instead, you will be able to rank your preferences, with the top rank receiving 5 points, the second receiving 4 points, etc. The athlete (and performance) receiving the highest average "grade" wins.

From your votes we will select the top Canadian Cyclists of 2014.

Vote Now!
