Burke Finishes Tour of Alberta as Top Canadian & Best Young Rider

Cowan wins KoM

The Tour of Alberta concluded on Monday after two final days of stages in and around Edmonton that ended in sprint finishes.  Cannondale-Drapac won the final two stages, with Alex Howes taking Stage 3 and Wouter Wippert the final stage.  Evan Huffman (Rally Cycling), kept the leader's jersey for the entire race after winning the opening stage.

Top Canadian rider overall was Jack Burke (Aevolo), who had finished fifth on Stage 1.  Burke dropped one spot in the final overall standings after Howes moved ahead of him due to time bonuses from his stage win.  Burke won the Best Young Rider and Best Canadian jerseys.

Silber Pro Cycling's Alec Cowan took the climbers jersey by being part of the early break and winning 2 of the 3 KoM's on the day coming from 4th place at the start of the stage.

Other top Canadian results were Rob Britton (Rally Cycling) in eighth, James Piccoli (Elevate - KHS Pro Cycling) in ninth,  Nigel Ellsay (Silber Pro Cycling) tenth and Matteo Dal-Cin (Rally Cycling) in 11th. 

"Winning the Tour of Alberta is truly gratifying, and a relief," said Huffman. "Leading a major race is always stressful, but the team was incredible all week and showed its strength - especially today. Today was not a parade lap! There were significant attacks from most general classification rivals, but I just stayed relaxed, and the guys rode them back. We had an advantage coming into the finish with Matteo and Rob in the breakaway. They marked all my rivals and discouraged attacks. The result is another big win for the team."

Sunday's final tough circuit through downtown Edmonton would be the last chance for rivals to unseat Huffman at the top of the leaderboard. Racing was aggressive from the start with Rob Britton joining the day's breakaway. Behind, the team kept the breakaway close, never letting them gain much more than a minute.

The team's plans were thrown into chaos in the final 30 kilometers as a touch of wheels sent Sept Kuss [second overall] to the tarmac. As Kuss remounted, a countermove marked by Matteo Dal-Cin, bridged to the Britton group. Dal-Cin and Britton worked to control the pace, allowing their Rally Cycling teammates to bring back the breakaway thus assuring Huffman's overall victory.

With Huffman's yellow jersey secure, Dal-Cin struck out solo for victory, holding a slim 15-second advantage over the final climb of the race before being reeled in just two kilometers from the finish.
