Canadian Cyclist reported yesterday on the Road World Championships stating Canada had one of its strongest performances in history.
Canada had one of the strongest – if not the strongest – Road World Championships in its history over the past week in Kigali, Rwanda. Led, of course, by Magdeleine Vallières Mill’s magnificent win in the Elite Women’s Road Race; the first ever Elite Road world title for Canada. However, Canada had a total of six top-10 results across four categories, showing a depth that has been absent in the past.
In addition to Magdeleine’s world title, in the Junior women Sidney Swierenga finished sixth in the time trial and fourth in the road race, sixth place finishes were also recorded by Jonas Walton (U23 men time trial) and Isabella Holmgren (U23 women road race) and a tenth by Ava Holmgren (U23 women time trial). We would be remiss not to also note the 12th place in the Elite men’s time trial by Michael Leonard.
