Canada earned five medals in the time trial events at the opening UCI Para-Cycling Road World Cup of 2015, with Marie-Claude Molnar, Marie-Ève Croteau, Shelley Gautier, Mike Sametz and Charles Moreau all climbing onto the podium in Maniago, Italy.

Molnar (WC4) and Gautier (WT1) both earned silver medals in their respective categories, while Marie-Eve Croteau (WT2), Mike Sametz (MC3) and Charles Moreau (MH3) took bronze medals to start the season.

Gautier, second on the day, suffered today her first loss since beginning competitive cycling in 2010. Gautier was defeated by just 14 seconds by Russia's Yulia Sibagatova. She remained undefeated until today in all World Cup and World Championships races.

Nicole Clermont (WC5) narrowly missed the podium, just four seconds off the bronze medalist's time.

The World Cup in Maniago continues tomorrow and Sunday with the presentation of the road races.
