Cycling Canada has announced the selection of its teams for the Grands Prix Cyclistes de Québec and Montréal (GPCQM), taking place on September 13th and 15th, as well as for the Tour de Gatineau, taking place on September 20-21.

The GPCQM organization will welcome the Canadian national team as a guest team. This is a golden opportunity for young athletes to develop their experience in an international peloton, all in front of a Canadian crowd. This year, veteran James Piccoli from Montreal will finish his professional cycling career in front of family and friends.

The team selection for the Tour de Gatineau is focussed on the development of young female athletes. It will feature Canadian athletes who are already proving themselves internationally, including Kiara Lylyk and Lily Plante, who represented Canada at the 2024 UCI Track Nations Cup in Milton, Ontario.
