Cyclist Chosen as Canadian Flag Bearer

Gary Longhi, a 36 year old Montrealer, has been chosen as the flagbearer for the Canadian team in the opening ceremonies of the 2000 Paralympic Games, which began Wednesday in Sydney, Australia.

Longhi is the defending champion in the 5 kilometre time trial, and also won bronze in the 20 kilometre road race at Atlanta. He competes in the cerebral palsy category (he suffered a severe head injury and was in a coma after a motorcycle injury in 1983).

Carter Hovey, Victoria's cross specialist, won the third race in the Redline Victoria Cyclo-Cross 2000 race series. On a course that once again favored Cyclo-Cross bikes, Hovey led from the start and later praised the organizer for "putting on a real cross race, on a great cyclo-cross course". In fact 4 of the top 5 riders in the A Group were on Redline Cyclo-Cross bikes. The course, behind the Princess Mary Restaurant, on Victoria's inner harbor featured 2 difficult run ups and a mix of pavement and gravel road that allowed for fast and exciting racing on a course with multiple spectator spots.

The Redline Victoria Cyclo-Cross 2000 series wraps up next weekend, details of the final race can be found at www.InternationalCyclingCoaches.com.
