<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13.0pt; mso-ansi-language: FR-CA;">Montréal, 18 mai 2013 (Sportcom) – Joëlle Numainville, porte-couleurs de
la formation Optum-Kelly Benefit, s’est fait souffler la victoire au sprint
final par l’Américaine Shelly Olds (Tibco To The Top), samedi, au Grand Prix
cycliste de Gatineau.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13.0pt; mso-ansi-language: FR-CA;">Olds a triomphé sur le parcours de 122,16 kilomètres en 3 h 12 min 18 s.
Numainville a terminé deuxième et la Polonaise Katarzyna Pawlowska (GSD Gestion
Kallisto), troisième.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13.0pt; mso-ansi-language: FR-CA;">« <span style="color: blue;">Mon équipe a fait une très bonne course. Nous avions vraiment les
choses en main</span> », a indiqué Numainville, l’une des deux coureuses de son équipe
désignées pour le sprint final.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13.0pt; mso-ansi-language: FR-CA;">« <span style="color: blue;">Nous avons essayé ça dernièrement lors d’une course aux États-Unis et
nous avions pris les deux premières places. Comme ça avait bien fonctionné de
pousser deux filles au sprint, nous avons opté pour la même stratégie
aujourd’hui. Malheureusement, ça n’a pas tourné de la même façon pour nous</span> », a
dit la Lavalloise.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13.0pt; mso-ansi-language: FR-CA;">« <span style="color: blue;">Je suis sortie un peu trop tard pour le sprint. J’aurais dû mieux
gérer les 300 derniers mètres. C’est vraiment une erreur de ma part. En même
temps, Shelly Olds ce n’est pas n’importe qui non plus</span> », a ajouté Numainville.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13.0pt; mso-ansi-language: FR-CA;">L’Américaine Lauren Hall, l’autre coureuse désignée par la formation
Optum-Kelly Benefit, a conclu la course au quatrième rang.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13.0pt; mso-ansi-language: FR-CA;">Par ailleurs, Véronique Labonté (équipe canadienne), Anne-Marie Morin
(GSD gestion-Kallisto-Specialized) et Lex Albrecht (équipe canadienne) ont
terminé en 11e, 12e et 14e places, toutes dans le même temps que la gagnante.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13.0pt; mso-ansi-language: FR-CA;">Montréal, 23 avril 2013 (Sportcom) – Le cycliste québécois David
Veilleux a pris, mardi, le 91e rang du prologue du Tour de Romandie, une
compétition du World Tour présentée dans l’ouest de la Suisse.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13.0pt; mso-ansi-language: FR-CA;">C’est le Britannique Christopher Froome, de la formation Sky, qui a
finalement le mieux négocié l’épreuve de 7,45 kilomètres entre Le Châble et
Bruson, un contre-la-montre où les athlètes sont passés de 816 à 1110 mètres
d’altitude.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13.0pt; mso-ansi-language: FR-CA;">Son temps de 13 min 15 s lui a permis de devancer de 6 secondes
l’Américain Andrew Talansky, membre de Garmin-Sharp, et de 13 secondes le
Croate Robert Kiserlovski, coureur de RadioShack-Leopard.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13.0pt; mso-ansi-language: FR-CA;">Veilleux a quant à lui ramené un chrono de 14 min 34 s, le deuxième
meilleur de son équipe, Europcar.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13.0pt; mso-ansi-language: FR-CA;">« <span style="color: blue;">C’était quasiment un petit col. Ça montait presque tout le long. Il
n’y avait pas de gros pourcentages, mais ce n’était pas facile</span> », a commenté le
cycliste de Cap-Rouge au sujet du parcours.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13.0pt; mso-ansi-language: FR-CA;">« <span style="color: blue;">Je suis quand même content de mon effort. J’ai été constant, je n’ai
pas coincé dans le final. J’ai réussi à bien terminer, au même rythme. Je pense
que c’est ce qui était difficile.</span> »<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13.0pt; mso-ansi-language: FR-CA;">« <span style="color: blue;">C’est sûr que je suis très loin. Ça paraît que c’est un niveau World

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13.0pt; mso-ansi-language: FR-CA;">Le Français Pierre Rolland a été le meilleur coéquipier de Veilleux,
terminant 63e en 14 min 17 s.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">TOUR DE BATTENKILL</span></b><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13.0pt; mso-ansi-language: FR-CA;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13.0pt; mso-ansi-language: FR-CA;">L’équipe Garneau-Québecor a attaqué les chemins de campagne de la région
de Battenkill bien décidée à remporter sa première victoire américaine de la
saison. Réunissant sa plus grosse équipe de la saison, qui incluait les
nouveaux membres de 2013 Simon Lambert-Lemay, Simon-Pelletier Gauthier, Zach
Hughes et Geoffroy Dussault, l’équipe Garneau-Québecor semblait prête à monter
sur la plus haute marche du podium.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13.0pt; mso-ansi-language: FR-CA;">« Nous avons discuté hier et notre but était de gagner la course coûte
que coûte, parce que nous avions la force et le nombre », a remarqué le
capitaine d’équipe Bruno Langlois. En obtenant la première, deuxième et quatrième
place, en plus d’avoir quatre cyclistes parmi les dix premiers, l’équipe
Garneau-Québecor a non seulement atteint son but, mais a également affirmé sa
domination sur le terrain.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13.0pt; mso-ansi-language: FR-CA;">S’en tenant à son plan de course qui était de placer trois coureurs dans
l’échappée, l’équipe Garneau-Québecor s’est retrouvée avec trois cyclistes dans
un peloton de tête de six hommes avant la moitié de la course. « Geoff
[Geoffroy Dussault] était en avant avec un autre cycliste et j’ai pu combler le
fossé », a déclaré Adam Farabaugh, originaire du nord de l’État de New York.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13.0pt; mso-ansi-language: FR-CA;">Cependant, Dussault et Farabaugh n’étaient pas seuls dans leurs efforts,
puisque le Montréalais Simon Lambert-Lemay a pu s’éclipser du peloton plusieurs
kilomètres après que l’échappée se soit définie. « Ça m’a pris beaucoup,
beaucoup de temps : j’ai dû doser mes efforts », a expliqué Lambert-Lemay qui
s’est retrouvé seul en poursuite des cinq échappés pendant près d’une heure. « Après
une heure, j’ai finalement vu que j’approchais du groupe, et je me suis dit,
‘je ne passe pas une autre minute à pourchasser : go!’ et j’ai attaqué et
comblé l’écart. »<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13.0pt; mso-ansi-language: FR-CA;">« Lorsque Simon a rejoint notre groupe, nous nous sommes dit ‘c’est le
moment d’y aller’, » a affirmé Farabaugh. Et c’est ce qu’ils ont fait, alors
que Farabaugh et Dussault ont accéléré le rythme et bientôt les trois
coéquipiers ont pu abandonner les autres membres de l’échappée.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13.0pt; mso-ansi-language: FR-CA;">« Adam était tellement fort, il prenait d’énormes relais », a dit
Dussault, qui est également chef de produits chez Louis Garneau. Les longs
relais de Farabaugh et les efforts de début de course de Dussault ont fait
sentir leurs effets et pour les 20 kilomètres restants à parcourir,
Lambert-Lemay et Farabaugh étaient seuls.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13.0pt; mso-ansi-language: FR-CA;">Avec les autres membres de l’équipe Garneau-Québecor qui contrôlaient la
cadence du peloton, et grâce à leurs efforts impressionnants, Farabaugh et
Lambert-Lemay ont pu repousser leurs poursuivants et terminer respectivement
premier et deuxième. Les deux hommes ont rapidement été rejoints par Bruno<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13.0pt; mso-ansi-language: FR-CA;">Langlois, qui a gagné le sprint du peloton et a terminé quatrième. Zach
Hugues de Waterloo a complété le classement de Garneau-Québecor parmi les dix
meilleurs en franchissant la ligne d’arrivée au septième rang.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13.0pt; mso-ansi-language: FR-CA;">« Le temps froid nous a avantagés parce que nous avons un bon équipement
technique », a déclaré Langlois. « L’équipe a bien performé, nous avions un bon
plan et nous l’avons suivi. »<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13.0pt; mso-ansi-language: FR-CA;">La prochaine course à l’horaire de l’équipe Garneau-Québecor est la Joe

which included 2013 debutants Simon Lambert-Lemay, Simon-Pelletier Gauthier,
Zach Hughes and Geoffroy Dussault, Garneau-Quebecor looked poised to take the
top spot on the podium.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;"> "We talked yesterday and the goal was to

said team captain Bruno Langlois.
Placing first, second and fourth, and having four riders in the top ten,
Garneau-Quebecor not only met their goal, but certified their dominance over
the field.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;"> Sticking to their pre-race plan of placing
three riders in the break-away, Garneau-Quebecor found themselves with three
riders in a six man leading-group before the half way mark of the race. "Geoff [Geoffroy Dussault] was up the
road with one other guy and I was able to bridge across,'" said up-state </span><st1:state><st1:place><span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">New York</span></st1:place></st1:state><span style="font-size: 13.0pt;"> native Adam Farabaugh. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;"> Dussault and Farabaugh were not alone in their
efforts though, as Montrealer Simon Lambert-Lemay was able to sneak away from
the peloton several kilometers after the escape was established. "It took me a long, long time: I had to
pace myself," said Lambert-Lemay who would find himself chasing alone,
after the five man group, for the better part of an hour. "After an hour, I finally saw that I was
getting close to the group, and I said to myself, 'man I'm not spending another
minute chasing: go!' and I attacked and bridged the gap."<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">"Once Simon made it to
our group we were like 'it's time to go,'" said Farabaugh. Go they did as Farabaugh and Dussault pushed
the pace and soon the three teammates were able to drop the other members of
the breakaway.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">"Adam was so strong; he
was taking huge pulls," said Dussault who is also the chief of product
engineering at Louis Garneau. The strong pulls from Farabaugh and the early
race efforts of Dussault would soon take their toll on the engineer and with 20
kilometers remaining in the race Lambert-Lemay and Farabaugh were on their own.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">With the remaining members of
Garneau-Quebecor controlling the tempo of the peloton, and with their
impressive efforts, Farabaugh and Lambert-Lemay were able to hold off their
pursuers, and finish first and second respectively. The two men were quickly joined by Bruno
Langlois, who won the bunch sprint and<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">finished fourth overall. Zach Hughes of </span><st1:city><st1:place><span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">Waterloo</span></st1:place></st1:city><span style="font-size: 13.0pt;"> rounded out Garneau-Quebecor's top ten positioning
crossing the line in seventh.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">"Due to the cold weather
we had a big advantage today because we had good technical equipment,"
said Langlois. "The team rode well,
we had a good plan and we executed."<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13.0pt; mso-ansi-language: FR-CA;">MOSCOU (Reuters) - Les dirigeants du cyclisme russe envisagent de
revenir sur leur projet d'organiser un Tour de Russie à partir de 2014, en
signe de protestation contre le retrait de la licence World Tour à l'équipe
Katusha la saison prochaine.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13.0pt; mso-ansi-language: FR-CA;">La commission idoine de l'Union cycliste internationale (UCI) a refusé
la semaine dernière d'accorder à Katusha le sésame qui permet de disputer les
courses les plus prestigieuses de l'année.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13.0pt; mso-ansi-language: FR-CA;">"Ça n'aurait tout simplement aucun sens d'organiser le Tour de

conseiller du président de la Fédération russe de cyclisme et patron de la
formation Katusha, Igor Makarov.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13.0pt; mso-ansi-language: FR-CA;">"L'idée était d'accueillir tous les ans une course importante en
Russie, à partir de 2014, de telle sorte que Katusha puisse concourir sur son
propre sol et que les amateurs russes puissent voir de près nos meilleurs
coureurs."<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13.0pt; mso-ansi-language: FR-CA;">Le Tour de Russie, le plus grand pays du monde, devait s'élancer de

victoire qui a fait d'elle la Championne du Monde 2012. « <span style="color: blue;">C'est ma plus belle
victoire à vie ! Je suis toujours à ne pas croire que c'est moi qui ai

canadienne pour un camp de route et piste. « <span style="color: blue;">On est très bien encadré, entres

féminine route et piste, et tout est très bien organisé et professionnel. Je
suis avec 5 autres filles: Jasmin Glaesser, Candice Vermeulen, Steph Roorda,
Laura Brown et Karol-Ann Canuel. Audrey n’a pas pu venir finalement, car elle
s’est blessée avant de partir. Je suis donc la plus jeune et la moins
expérimentée ici et j’apprends beaucoup. C’est vraiment super le fun et difficile
en même temps. On fait de gros entraînements sur de très belles routes
montagneuses au soleil et à une température assez clémente (10-15 degrés.) Jusqu’à
maintenant, nous avons seulement roulé sur la route, mais nous embarquerons sur
la piste dans les prochains jours. Ce sera une première pour moi, j’ai bien
hâte d’essayer.</span> » </span><span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">Nous dit Alizée.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13.0pt; mso-ansi-language: FR-CA;">Montréal, le mardi 14 août 2012 – La grande finale de la saison 2012 des
Mardis cyclistes de Lachine s’est soldée par une deuxième victoire
spectaculaire pour Pierrick Naud (Ekoï) et un cinquième championnat en carrière
pour Jean-François Laroche (Fantino-Régis).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13.0pt; mso-ansi-language: FR-CA;">L’épreuve de 50 km a débuté sur les chapeaux de roue alors que quatre
coureurs se sont détachés du peloton au 13e passage sur 31. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13.0pt; mso-ansi-language: FR-CA;">Le groupe formé de Jean-Michel Lachance (Latino), Émile Jean (Ekoï),

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13.0pt; mso-ansi-language: FR-CA;">Le quatuor a si bien performé qu’on y a cru jusqu’à la toute fin. Les
fuyards ont finalement été rejoints avec moins de deux tours à faire. La
dixième et dernière étape allait donc se jouer dans un massif sprint de
peloton. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13.0pt; mso-ansi-language: FR-CA;">De son côté, Jean-François Laroche a consolidé son championnat en
prenant la quatrième position, tout juste devant son plus proche rival,
Jean-Samuel Deshaies.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13.0pt; mso-ansi-language: FR-CA;">«<span style="color: blue;">C’est une autre grande soirée pour nous. Je tiens à remercier mes
coéquipiers, qui ont été durant toute l’année concentrés sur un seul objectif,
le championnat. Cette grande synergie, nous sommes les seuls à l’avoir</span>», a
déclaré l’athlète de 32 ans, félicité de tous les côtés.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13.0pt; mso-ansi-language: FR-CA;">Jean-Samuel Deshaies s’est dit satisfait de son deuxième rang au
classement général. «Nous sommes allés chercher trois victoires cette année et
la deuxième place. C’est assez satisfaisant. Pour l’emporter aujourd’hui, il
aurait fallu une chute de Jean-François. Les chances étaient minces», a indiqué
le prometteur athlète de 20 ans.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13.0pt; mso-ansi-language: FR-CA;">Dominic Chalifoux, grâce à une très belle course (sixième position),
s’est hissé au troisième rang du cumulatif, quatre petits points devant
l’Ontarien Stephen Keeping (Steven), qui est donc éjecté du podium final.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13.0pt; mso-ansi-language: FR-CA;">«<span style="color: blue;">Je suis extrêmement content. Je n’avais qu’un seul objectif ce soir,
c’était de devancer Stephen. Mes équipiers ont fait tout un travail pour
m’épauler et ça a fait toute la différence</span>», a-t-il lancé avec un large sourire
aux lèvres.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13.0pt; mso-ansi-language: FR-CA;">Hugues Lapointe (plus combatif), Erik Lyman (meilleur maître) et Hendrik
Pineda (meilleur junior) ont également célébré mardi soir.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 13.0pt; line-height: 115%;">August 15,
2012 (Lachine, QC) - Pierrick Naud (Ekoi.Com-Gaspesien) won the tenth and final
stage of the senior men’s Mardis Lachine presented by Jean Coutu road bicycle
races last evening.

And
thus ended the 35th season of what has become a legendary race series.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt; line-height: 115%;">For Naud, it
was his second consecutive stage victory and he also picked up the Lachine Cup
for this win. At press time there was some confusion as to who finished second
with Maxime Vives (Garneau-Quebecor) standing on the podium for the awards
ceremony but official results gave it to William Goodfellow (Mc Gill Cycling). Erik
Lyman (Prud'Homme - IGA Ste Martine) came in third. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt; line-height: 115%;">But the
overall winner of the 10-stage 2012 season was Jean Francois Laroche (Fantino
Mondello-Cycle Régis) who captured the Mardis Cyclistes Jean Coutu Senior Men’s
Cup, his fifth season title. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“<span style="color: blue;">This is a
great evening for us. I want to thank my teammates who have been focused all
season on winning this championship. We are the only team here to have such
great synergy,</span>” declared Laroche, a 32-year-old lawyer who delights in beating
pro cyclists.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The second
place Specialized red jersey for the 2012 season went to Jean-Samuel Deshaies
(Ekoi-Gaspesien) while the third place green Desjardins jersey went to Dominic
Chalifoux (Trek Bontrager). Chalifoux barely squeezed Stephen Keeping (Steven’s
Racing p/b The Cyclery) out of third spot by only four points in the GC. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Hugues
Lapointe picked up the black jersey for being the most competitive cyclist,
Erik Lyman was recognized for being the best master’s cyclist while Hendrik
Pineda picked up the jersey for being the best junior rider. But because Pineda
is presently racing in </span><st1:country -region="-region"><st1:place><span style="font-size: 13.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Belgium</span></st1:place></st1:country><span style="font-size: 13.0pt; line-height: 115%;">, his father accepted the jersey.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt; line-height: 115%;">But the
biggest applause of the evening was reserved for Pierre Olivier Boily who
retired last evening from semi-pro cycling after 12 years on Laroche’s team.
Boily also rides for the Canadian para-cycling team, acting as a (seeing) tandem
pilot for blind cyclists. At the Mardis, Boily has been Fantino’s secret
weapon, superbly drafting for Laroche up to the final sprint. As the ceremony
winded down, Boily invited everybody over to the Fantino tent where he promised
celebrations would continue with music and dancing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“<span style="color: blue;">Now I will
have a little more time to make beer,</span>” explained Boily, 30, who is the owner of
the micro-brewery, Siboire. “<span style="color: blue;">I will also be able to spend more time with my
girlfriend. Maybe I will still compete in a few races, but not with a team.</span>”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Some 84
cyclists crowded the start line at the senior men’s race where the start gun
was fired by actress and animator Chantal Lacroix. Weather conditions were
muggy, but the pavement stayed dry.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Among the
women, Elisabeth Albert (Rocky Mountain Forget Aubin) won a phenomenal sixth
stage victory in the ten-stage series. This is very impressive because Albert
had no team members to support her all season. “Apart from the Mardis, I
enjoyed the </span><st1:city><st1:place><span style="font-size: 13.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Gatineau</span></st1:place></st1:city><span style="font-size: 13.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> races this year. I wanted to also
race in the </span><st1:country -region="-region"><st1:place><span style="font-size: 13.0pt; line-height: 115%;">U.S.A.</span></st1:place></st1:country><span style="font-size: 13.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> at the Liberty Classic, but this
conflicted with my exam schedule,” explained the 20-year-old medical school
student. Albert has also gained national prominence in speed skating, but is
unsure which sport she will continue with if her studies force her to drop one. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt; line-height: 115%;">In last
evening’s stage race, Veronique Drapeau-Zgoralski (Specialized-Mazda-SGC)
finished second while Rosalie Cardin-Houde (IAMGOLD) finished third. There were
36 women in last evening’s race. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Albert was
also the clear winner in taking the women’s Jean Coutu Cup season title. But it
was a tight race for the second place red Specialized Cup jersey where Ruth
Mclean (Powerwatts- FITTIME) edged Catherine Couture (independent) by a mere
seven points for the Specialized red jersey. This meant Couture ended up with
the third place Desjardins green jersey as a consolation prize. Couture
regretted taking the last corner on the outside and having to dodge spectators
crowding onto the race course, something that cost her precious fractions of a
second.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

ceremony saw water fights with champagne against a backdrop of fireworks. Event
organizer, Joseph ‘Tino’ Rossi gave an animated performance even after being
doused with buckets of ice water. Lachine borough mayor Claude Dauphin
congratulated Rossi, now 73, on his fine work and joked that Rossi promised to
be there for another 35 years.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13.0pt; mso-ansi-language: FR-CA;">Montréal, le mardi 7 août 2012 – Les amateurs de cyclisme ont eu droit à
une course d’anthologie alors que Pierrick Naud (Ekoï-Gaspésien) et ses
compagnons d’échappée sont passés à seulement huit secondes d’établir un
nouveau record de piste lors de la neuvième étape de la saison des Mardis
cyclistes de Lachine.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13.0pt; mso-ansi-language: FR-CA;">Pierrick Naud, William Blackburn (Medique), ainsi que les professionnels
Simon Lambert-Lemay, François Parisien et Martin Gilbert (SpiderTech) ont
effectué tout un numéro en s’échappant dès les premiers kilomètres de la course
qui en compte 50.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13.0pt; mso-ansi-language: FR-CA;">Les cinq fuyards ont roulé à une vitesse folle tout dans le but
d’abattre le record du parcours et de mettre la main sur la bourse de 14 500$
qui s’y rattache.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13.0pt; mso-ansi-language: FR-CA;">Avec quelques kilomètres à disputer, Blackburn et Gilbert ont abdiqué,
visiblement à bout de souffle. Les trois coureurs restants ont tout donné. Ils
ont rattrapé le peloton principal. Mais ont finalement échoué par huit petites
secondes dans leur tentative de battre le record du circuit.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13.0pt; mso-ansi-language: FR-CA;">Naud a franchi en première place grâce à une vitesse moyenne de 50,8
km/h, devançant ainsi Lambert-Lemay et Parisien sur le podium.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13.0pt; mso-ansi-language: FR-CA;">«<span style="color: blue;">On a eu des petits problèmes de communication, si bien que dans les
derniers tours, on croyait avoir 26 secondes d’avance sur le record, alors que
c’était plutôt 26 secondes de retard</span>», a déploré Naud.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13.0pt; mso-ansi-language: FR-CA;">Ce dernier était néanmoins heureux d’avoir pu participer à une course si
âprement disputée. «C’est décevant de voir que nous étions à seulement 8
secondes d’entrer dans l’histoire. Si nous avions su, peut-être aurions nous pu
aller gruger quelques secondes.»<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13.0pt; mso-ansi-language: FR-CA;">«<span style="color: blue;">La cohésion dans l’échappée était très bonne. Ça aurait été intéressant
de mettre la main sur la prime du record</span>», a pour sa part concédé Simon
Lambert-Lemay, deuxième de l’épreuve.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13.0pt; mso-ansi-language: FR-CA;">«<span style="color: blue;">L’important, c’est d’avoir donné un bon show et avoir fait la promotion
de cette course de haut niveau. On va se reprendre l’an prochain</span>», a promis
François Parisien, dont l’équipe SpiderTech prendra la direction de l’Europe
samedi.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13.0pt; mso-ansi-language: FR-CA;">Cette course, qui fut la deuxième plus rapide de toute l’histoire des
Mardis, a également vu Jean-François Laroche (Fantino) accroître légèrement son
avance au championnat.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13.0pt; mso-ansi-language: FR-CA;">Détenteur du maillot jaune Jean Coutu de leader, Laroche compte
désormais 817 points à sa fiche. Son principal adversaire, Jean-Samuel Deshaies
(Ekoï), en compte 700. La semaine prochaine, Deshaies endossera le maillot
rouge Specialized du deuxième au classement général. Le maillot vert Desjardins
sera quant à lui porté par l’Ontarien Stephen Keeping, installé au troisième
rang du cumulatif, en vertu de ses 617 points.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13.0pt; mso-ansi-language: FR-CA;">Par ailleurs, deux athlètes ayant
fait l’expérience des Mardis cyclistes dans le passé étaient en compétition aux
Jeux olympiques de Londres. Il s’agit du Canadien Zach Bell (8e rang à
l’omnium) et de l’Australien Cadel Evans (80e rang à la course sur route).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13.0pt; mso-ansi-language: FR-CA;">Rappelons que la grande finale de la saison, soit la dixième et dernière
étape du calendrier, sera présentée le mardi 14 août prochain. Les courses de
la relève débuteront à 17h15, tandis que le clou de la soirée, la course
Pro-Élite Jean Coutu, sera lancée à 19h. L’admission est gratuite, si bien que
plus de 10 000 personnes sont attendues pour l’occasion. La bourse du record
sera alors majorée à 15 000$.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">August 7, 2012 (Lachine, QC)
- Pierrick Naud (EKOI-Gaspesien) stopped the clock at 58:60, just 8 seconds
short of record time at this evening’s senior men’s Mardis cyclistes presented
by Jean Coutu races in Lachine. And that meant he was 8 seconds away from
picking up an extra $14,500 in prize monies! Simon Lambert-Lemay (SpiderTech
p/b C10) finished second, followed by his team mate, François Parisien.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">“We thought that we were 26
seconds ahead of the record at one point, not a few seconds behind it,” mused
Naud. “If we had understood, we probably would have pedaled faster.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">The three podium placers,
together with William Blackburn (Medique), and Martin Gilbert (SpiderTech)
broke away from the peloton of 81 riders shortly after the 50km race began. “We
worked together pretty well,” explained Naud. “Everyone led for about one
stretch at a time.” Eventually, </span><st1:place><span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">Blackburn</span></st1:place><span style="font-size: 13.0pt;"> and Gilbert dropped off the back of the breakaway
group.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">The three leaders lapped the
pack and reintegrated into the peloton with two laps left on the board. Race
officials then declared that, because of this action, there was only one lap
left to go. At the finish, it must have been complicated for race officials
deciphering the photo finish results!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">Parisien, fresh from his
biggest ever career victory Sunday at Elk Grove in </span><st1:state><st1:place><span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">Illinois</span></st1:place></st1:state><span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">, explained that, “We’re pro riders, so we recover
quickly. And Elk Grove was only a three hour race.” Parisien also noted that
the entire SpiderTech team is flying to </span><st1:place><span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">Europe</span></st1:place><span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">
and will miss the August 14 Grand finale with the Mardis Cyclistes in </span><st1:city><st1:place><span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">Lachine</span></st1:place></st1:city><span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">In the confusing finish, it
looked like Jean-Francois Laroche (Fantino Mondello-Cycle Régis) had taken this
evening’s stage, but he apparently finished only sixth. Laroche, however,
remains the series leader with only one more stage race left in 2012. Laroche,
with 817 points, holds a clear lead over Jean-Samuel Deshaies (EKOI-Gaspesien)
in the battle for the yellow Jean Coutu jersey. Deshaies has 700 points
followed by Stephen Keeping (Stevens Racing p/b The Cyclery) in third with 617
points. This means that next week Deshaies will wear the red Specialized jersey
while Keeping will sport the green Desjardins jersey.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">Among the spectators this
evening were three para-cyclists bound for the London Paralympics from August
29--September 9. The three were Daniel Chalifoux (a blind cyclist who rides
tandem), Marie-Eve Croteau (a T2 tricycle rider), and Marie-Claude Molnar
(Locomotor disability C4) in the company of Louis Barbeau, director of the
FQSC. “There needs to be greater awareness of sporting programs for handicapped
athletes,” mentioned Chalifoux who only discovered para-cycling by accident at
the age of 33. Chalifoux has since won gold at the 2011 Parapan American Games.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">As noted, August 14 sees the
grand finale of the Mardis Cyclistes 35th season. The minims and cadet races
begin at </span><st1:time hour="17" minute="15"><span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">5:15
pm</span></st1:time><span style="font-size: 13.0pt;"> while the start gun will
fire for the Pro-Élite Jean Coutu men’s race at </span><st1:time hour="19" minute="0"><span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">7 p.m.</span></st1:time><span style="font-size: 13.0pt;"> As always, admission is free and 10,000 spectators
are expected. And the prize monies for breaking the course speed record will
creep up to $15,000.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13.0pt; mso-ansi-language: FR-CA;">L’athlète de 22 ans de St-Ours (près de Sorel-Tracy) a lancé une
fulgurante attaque au 12e passage, tout juste après un sprint intermédiaire. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEmaylug9jliKzH63blarQL4f-2iph6HQA50fZo1XuUhLYRd_wk3SbBke-GZ2FN82M6d8iv703S70eMccA-Yre8ciOhoUl8Qpw50u0zU51MPHYwj5Dpjej_fF4uA4ugCk92_HUL-RKvuE/s1600/Miroir+du+Cyclisme_Domenic+Chalifoux_Lemay_Naud_Breakaway_Pasquale+Stalteri+Photography_PAS3112.jpg" target="_blank">DominicChalifoux</a> (Trek-Bontrager) et Pierrick Naud (Ekoï-Gaspésien) l’ont vu venir et

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13.0pt; mso-ansi-language: FR-CA;">Contre toute attente, le trio en échappée a augmenté son avance de tour
en tour, et a franchi la ligne d’arrivée avec 64 secondes de priorité sur le
peloton principal.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13.0pt; mso-ansi-language: FR-CA;">La pluie a rendu la chaussée glissante lors des dernières minutes de
l’épreuve. Fin renard, Lambert-Lemay en a profité pour lancer un sprint
précoce, tout juste avant le dernier virage. Il a pris ses partenaires
d’échappée par surprise et a vogué vers la victoire. Chalifoux et Naud ont
suivi dans l’ordre.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13.0pt; mso-ansi-language: FR-CA;">«<span style="color: blue;">J’ai attaqué quelques fois dans les derniers tours sans pour autant
réussir à les décramper. De toute façon, j’étais dans une très bonne forme et
je savais que mes chances étaient excellentes au sprint</span>», a expliqué Lambert-Lemay,
après avoir signé sa deuxième victoire en carrière dans la catégorie Pro-Élite.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13.0pt; mso-ansi-language: FR-CA;">On était également bien heureux dans le clan Chalifoux, qui a récolté un
deuxième podium consécutif aux Mardis et qui est monté au quatrième rang du
classement général en vertu de ses nombreux points accumulés.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

aujourd’hui lors des sprints intermédiaires. Pour ce qui est du final, Simon
est parti de loin. Comme la chaussée était glissante, je n’ai pas été en mesure
de réagir rapidement et de le rattraper</span>», a lancé Chalifoux.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 13pt;">Lambert-Lemay, 22, attacked on
the 12th of 31 laps in the 50km criterium, just after an intermediate sprint.
Chalifoux and Naud jumped on his wheel then and broke away from the pack of 81
cyclists. The three stayed out well in
front for the rest of the race, finishing some 64 seconds ahead of the peloton.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 13pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

slippery conditions caused by increasing rain to launch his final sprint just
before the final 90 degree corner, a manoeuvre that caught his breakaway

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13pt;">Montréal, le mardi 17 juillet 2012 – Jean-François Laroche (Fantino
Mondello) a confirmé sa suprématie de sprinter en remportant une troisième
étape consécutive aux Mardis cyclistes Jean Coutu de Lachine.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13pt;">Au total, 59 coureurs amateurs et professionnels ont bataillé pour la
victoire lors de cette 7e épreuve du calendrier. Au final, c’est encore une
fois le meilleur finisseur du lot qui l’a emporté, soit Jean-François Laroche.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13pt;">Le détenteur du maillot jaune de leader a remporté le critérium de 50 km
grâce à une vitesse moyenne de 46,4 km/h sur une chaussée quelque peu
glissante. Heureusement, aucun orage n’a compliqué la course.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13pt;">Dominic Chalifoux et l’Ontarien Stephen Keeping sont également montés
sur le podium de cette 7e étape. Des noms bien connus, ceux de Bruno Langlois
(Garneau-Québecor), Hugues Lapointe (Cycle Néron), Martin Gilbert (SpiderTech)
et Jean-Samuel Deshaies (Ekoï-Gaspésien) ont complété l’épreuve à l’avant.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13pt;">La bière coulait à flots dans le camp de Jean-François Laroche après la
course. «Le début a été particulièrement difficile en raison des échappées,
mais on a su reprendre notre rythme au fil de l’épreuve. Dans le dernier tour,
on a encore une fois remonté tout le monde pour l’emporter assez facilement», a
commenté Laroche, entre plusieurs félicitations de ses proches et de ses
coéquipiers.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13pt;">Cette troisième victoire de suite lui permet d’accroître son avance au
sommet du classement général. Il détient dorénavant 661 points, contre 572 pour
Jean-Samuel Deshaies, son plus proche poursuivant.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13pt;">L’épreuve a également été concluante pour Dominic Chalifoux, qui a
consolidé son sixième rang au général grâce à son meilleur résultat en
carrière, une deuxième place. «C’est une excellente course, une belle soirée
qui se termine très bien avec mon deuxième podium à vie. J’ai laissé beaucoup
d’énergie durant les échappées. Jean-François avait plus de jus que moi au
final», a-t-il commenté.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13pt;">Lors de l’avant-dernier passage, le champion canadien des moins de 23

Cyclistes presented by Jean Coutu bicycle races in </span><st1:city><st1:place><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Lachine</span></st1:place></st1:city><span style="font-size: 13pt;">. He was followed across the finish by Dominic

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13pt;">“The race started off poorly
for us because of the breakaways,” explained Jean-François Laroche at the
finish. “But we picked up our rhythm as things went on. On the last lap, we
lapped everybody to easily take this evening’s stage. My team mates played
their parts very well. My lead-out, Pierre-Olivier Boily and I timed the last
sprint perfectly.” Laroche was already leading the GC in the 10-stage series,
and this evening’s win puts him at 661 points, well ahead of nearest rival,
Jean-Samuel Deshaies (EKOI-Gaspesien).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13pt;">François Parisien (SpiderTech
p/b C10) and Rémi Pelletier-Roy (Garneau-Québecor) put on a two-man breakaway
show for the crowd, staying out in front for 17 of 31 laps. Neither cyclist
finished the race, however. "I’m just here to practice for upcoming
European races," quipped Parisien. Pelletier-Roy spoke about this weekend’s
Tour de la Monteregie which he is still leading, but suggested that Sunday’s
race will be tough. “And I won’t have a lot of team mates there to support me…”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13pt;">Antoine Duchesne
(Garneau-Québecor), the reigning U23 road champ, also rode solo out in front
for a lap before being swallowed by the pack with one lap to go. The senior
men’s race saw 59 cyclists bunched on the start line and rain held off although
the pavement was not quite dry.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13pt;">The start gun this evening
was fired by Denis Coderre, the popular Liberal Member of Parliament for
Bourassa. Coderre noted that this is not the first time he has been at the
Mardis races, “I previously attended the bike races here as Minister of
Sports.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

carbon copy of last week with Elisabeth Albert (Rocky Mountain Forget Aubin)
winning the stage this evening, followed by Adrianne Provost (Steven’s Cycling
p/b the Cyclery) in second and Ruth McLean (Powerwatts FITTIME) in third.
Albert leads the series with 364 points now, well ahead of second place Catherine
Couture (independent) with 254. Couture took a spill on the last lap, going
down with, “about five of the guys. I’m glad to be wearing a dress now to hide
the road rash. And I’m surprised to still be in wearing the [second place]
jersey after my crash.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

salute against a stacked field including David Veilleux (Europcar) and

too humid as Jordan Brochu (Ekoï-Gaspésien) landed on the podium in second

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13pt;">Montréal, le mardi 10 juillet 2012 – La crème des cyclistes québécois
évoluant à l’échelle internationale était réunie à l’occasion de la 6e étape de
la saison des Mardis cyclistes Jean Coutu de Lachine.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13pt;">Le recordman Guillaume Boivin (50,9 km/h) et ses coéquipiers Hugo Houle,
Martin Gilbert, François Parisien et Simon Lambert-Lemay, membres de la
formation professionnelle continentale SpiderTech s’étaient donnés rendez-vous
afin d’établir une nouvelle marque. Ils étaient pour l’occasion accompagnés de
David Veilleux, ce même coureur qui est passé bien près de participer au Tour
de France au sein de l’équipe Europcar.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13pt;">Tout ce beau monde a entamé l’épreuve de 50 km avec une seule idée en
tête : battre le record du parcours. Dès les premiers passages, la vitesse
était telle que plusieurs n’ont pu tenir le coup. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13pt;">Peu après la mi-course, cette vitesse a également eu raison des plus
costauds, qui n’ont eu d’autre choix que de ralentir la cadence. Le record
n’était alors plus dans les plans.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13pt;">La course s’est donc jouée dans un massif sprint de peloton, qui fut
remporté par nul autre que Jean-François Laroche (Fantino Mondello).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13pt;">Celui-ci a ainsi signé une deuxième victoire consécutive, grâce à une
vitesse moyenne de 49,5 km/h, ce qui représente la troisième course la plus
rapide en 35 ans d’histoire des Mardis cyclistes. Jordan Brochu
(Ekoï-Gaspésien) et Maxime Vivès (Garneau-Québecor) ont complété le podium.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13pt;">«<span style="color: blue;">Mes coéquipiers ont encore une fois fait du très bon travail. Ils ont
chassé toutes les échappées et lors du dernier tour, je n’ai eu qu’à prendre la
roue de P.-O. (Pierre-Olivier Boily) pour l’emporter</span>», a souligné Laroche,
nouveau détenteur du maillot jaune.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13pt;">«<span style="color: blue;">Le résultat de cette course démontre encore une fois que de très bons
amateurs peuvent avoir le dessus sur des professionnels. Ils n’aiment pas qu’on
leur rappelle, mais c’est la réalité. C’est leur métier et nous, on les bat</span>», a
poursuivi Boily, faisant référence aux décevantes cinquième, septième et
neuvième places de David Veilleux, Martin Gilbert et Hugo Houle.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13pt;">Le recordman de l’épreuve, Guillaume Boivin, a admis que son équipe
avait pris la tâche à la légère. Ils espéraient mettre la main sur la bourse du
record de 13 000 $, mais ce sera pour une autre fois. Quand? On ne sait trop.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13pt;">«<span style="color: blue;">On est partis un peu trop vite. Le record du parcours, c’est quelque chose
qui se prépare d’avance plutôt que sur un coup de tête. Les conditions
n’étaient pas nécessairement toutes réunies. Oui il faisait chaud, mais il y
avait un peu trop de vent</span>», a-t-il déploré après la course.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13pt;">Le promoteur de la classique lachinoise, Tino Rossi, s’est dit déçu de
la tournure des événements. «Des athlètes professionnels sont venus ici dans le
but de battre le record, mais ils sont partis trop rapidement, ils ont coupé
les jambes du peloton et n’ont pas pu profiter de leur apport», a-t-il analysé.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13pt;">La septième étape du calendrier sera présentée le mardi 17 juillet
prochain. La bourse du record sera alors majorée de 500$, pour atteindre 13
500$.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13pt; line-height: 115%;">July 10, 2012
(Lachine, QC) – Jean-François Laroche (Fantino Mondello-Cycle Régis) won the
sixth stage of the Mardis Cyclistes presented by Jean Coutu bicycle races in
Lachine with a blistering time of 1:00:31 over the 50km circuit. It was the
third fastest time ever achieved in the 35 years of the Mardis where the record
stands at 58 minutes and 52 seconds on </span><st1:date day="11" month="8" year="2009"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13pt; line-height: 115%;">August

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13pt; line-height: 115%;">Dry pavement, low
humidity and light winds were perfect conditions for breaking the speed record
this evening and many big names were among the 97 riders on the start line,
hungry for the $13,000 in prize monies should the record be broken. Course
record holder Guillaume Boivin (Spidertech p/b C10) and his team mates Martin
Gilbert, Hugo Houle, Simon Lambert-Lemay, and François Parisien were there.
Also present was David Veilleux (Europcar). All of these cyclists are
professionals who have much experience racing in </span><st1:place><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13pt; line-height: 115%;">Europe</span></st1:place><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13pt; line-height: 115%;">; in fact until two

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13pt; line-height: 115%;">“<span style="color: blue;">My team mates
again did a great job!</span>” exclaimed Laroche after his stage win. “<span style="color: blue;">They chased
down the breakaways and, for the last lap, all I had to do was stay behind the
wheel of Pierre-Olivier Boily until the final sprint in order to win.</span>” With
this evening’s win, Laroche now leads the series with 538 points versus 513 for
second-place Jean Samuel Deshaies (Ekoi-Gaspesien). Laroche will thus wear the
yellow jersey next Tuesday to show that he is now the man to beat with four
stages to go until the grand finale on August 14. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

disappointing performance. “<span style="color: blue;">The weather was hot and the winds were a bit too
strong to break the record.</span>” His team mate, Martin Gilbert offered that
Spidertech is taking it easy coming off the recent national championships and
considers the Mardis to be more of a training ride. He said the team will be

former teammates of Lance Armstrong on the U.S. Postal Service team will
testify against the seven-time Tour de France winner claims the Dutch
newspaper, Telesport. This is allegedly part of the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency
(USADA)’s investigation of doping allegations against Armstrong. Among the five
named is of Jonathan Vaughters, the current team manager of Garmin Sharp. Vaughters,
reached by various media at the TdF, denied such claims.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 13pt; line-height: 115%;">Also named are George Hincapie, Levi
Leipheimer, Christian Vande Velde and David Zabriskie. The four were notably
excluded from USA Cycling’s 2012 Olympic team. This has led to widespread speculation
that the four cut a deal with USADA to receive reduced sanctions for doping in
exchange for testifying against Armstrong. Their impending sanctions would thus
be the reason they cannot compete in </span><st1:city><st1:place><span style="font-size: 13pt; line-height: 115%;">London</span></st1:place></st1:city><span style="font-size: 13pt; line-height: 115%;">. On June 16, USA Cycling issued this

<span style="font-size: 13pt; line-height: 115%;">Last week a USADA panel has
unanimously recommended that doping charges against Lance Armstrong, his former
team manager Johan Bruyneel, and team doctors Pedro Celaya Lezama and Luis
Garcia del Moral; team trainer Pepe Marti, and consulting doctor Michele
Ferrari report AP and Belga. USADA considers the charges to be so similar that
it has rolled the case against all these men into one. The six are accused of
using, possessing and trafficking banned substances including EPO, blood
transfusions and steroids. The charges relate to the period between 1998 and
2010. Armstrong, 40, if convicted, risks losing his seven TdF titles.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13pt;">Montréal, le mardi 3 juillet 2012 – Jean-François Laroche avait soif de
victoire. L’athlète de la formation Fantino Mondello-Cycle Régis a couru plus
intelligemment que jamais et a signé son premier gain de la saison aux Mardis
cyclistes de Lachine.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13pt;">Laroche a été le plus rapide lors du sprint de peloton, disputé à
l’issue d’un spectacle haut en couleur. Les deux autres coureurs à monter sur
le podium furent Stephen Keeping (Steven Racing) et le vétéran Erik Lyman (Team
Spirit). Quatre-vingt treize coureurs à pris part à l’épreuve.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13pt;">Le premier gain de Laroche lui permet de s’approcher à seulement 14
points du maillot jaune de leader détenu par Jean-Samuel Deshaies
(Ekoï-Gaspésien), qui a de son côté connu une pénible soirée.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Ekoï ont beau être deux fois plus nombreux, l’expérience a fait la différence.
J’espère cependant que cette réussite ne les dégonflera pas et que nous
pourrons nous battre jusqu’à la toute fin</span>», a lancé un <o:p></o:p></span></div>

long de la course. Au final, j’ai tout simplement pris la roue de Laroche, qui
est extrêmement rapide lors des sprints</span>», a indiqué le coureur originaire de la
Nouvelle-Écosse. Celui-ci a signé un tout premier podium en carrière aux
Mardis.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13pt;">Si cette cinquième épreuve de la saison s’est soldée par un sprint
final, on retiendra également la performance spectaculaire de l’athlète
professionnel François Parisien, membre de la formation SpiderTech.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13pt;">Celui qui se remet d’une blessure au genou est de retour à la
compétition depuis seulement un mois et mardi soir, c’est lui qui a animé la
course, du début jusqu’à la fin. Parisien a en fait déclenché ou tenté des
échappées aux 2e, 10e, 12e, 19e, 22e et 28e passages, sur une épreuve qui
rappelons-le, ne dure que 31 tours!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13pt;">Les animateurs n’en revenaient tout simplement pas et l’ont surnommé à
plusieurs reprises la «<span style="color: blue;">locomotive François Parisien</span>». Celui-ci s’est retrouvé
seul en tête avec seulement trois tours à faire. Ayant laissé un peu trop
d’énergie précédemment, Parisien a finalement dû abdiquer. Il s’est fait avalé
par le peloton lors du tout dernier tour et a finalement croisé la ligne loin
derrière le peloton, remerciant au passage la foule de ses nombreux
encouragements.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13pt;">«<span style="color: blue;">J’ai recommencé les courses il y a seulement un mois et l’épreuve de ce
soir était parfaite afin de voir ma progression. L’équipe (SpiderTech) ira
courir en Europe en août et j’ai voulu simulé le type de courses très dures
auxquelles je devrai participer. La dernière échappée que j’ai lancée aurait pu
se rendre jusqu’au bout, mais les gars avec qui j’étais regardaient trop en
arrière. Il faut que les jeunes osent davantage</span>», a-t-il déclaré.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

l’arrondissement Lachine, M. Claude Dauphin. Le titre d’ambassadeur des Mardis
lui a été attribué. Il est seulement la deuxième personne après Bernard
Trottier à recevoir pareil honneur en 35 ans d’histoire. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<st1:date day="3" month="7" year="2012"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">July 3, 2012</span></st1:date><span style="font-size: 13pt;"> (</span><st1:place><st1:city><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Lachine</span></st1:city><span style="font-size: 13pt;">, </span><st1:state><span style="font-size: 13pt;">QC</span></st1:state></st1:place><span style="font-size: 13pt;">) – Jean-François Laroche (Fantino Mondello-Cycle
Régis) raised his arms in victory this evening at the finish of the fifth stage
of the Mardis Cyclistes presented by Jean Coutu bicycle races. Laroche won in
an exciting bunch sprint, just ahead of Stephen Keeping (Stevens Racing p/b The
Cyclery) in second and and Erik Lyman (Team Spirit p/b Euro-Sport) in
third. Although Laroche won the 10
stage series in 2011, this was his first stage victory of 2012. There were 93
cyclists on the start line this evening.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13pt;">If Laroche and his Fantino
team were the big winners, it was series leader Jean-Samuel Deshaies
(Ekoï-Gaspésien) and his team who were the big losers. Deshaies now clings onto
a razor-thin 14 point lead in cumulative points halfway through the 2012 Mardis
series.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13pt;">“<span style="color: blue;">We put the clockwork back in
order with this first win</span>,” said Laroche. “<span style="color: blue;">The Ekoi-Gaspesien team might have
had twice as many cyclists in the pack, but it is experience that makes the
difference. I hope that our success does not deflate them and that we will have
a tight contest until the last stage. The dry conditions this evening were
perfect for us.</span>"<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13pt;">Stephen Keeping also thanked
his team mates for ending up on the podium. "<span style="color: blue;">My team did good work to keep
me in front all through the race. For the last lap, I simply stayed on
Laroche’s wheel because he is very fast in sprints.</span>” Keeping, a </span><st1:state><st1:place><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Nova Scotia</span></st1:place></st1:state><span style="font-size: 13pt;"> native, tasted his first Mardis podium of his career.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13pt;">Lyman’s third place finish
was all that more impressive because he had no team mates to support him this
evening. “<span style="color: blue;">And I hope that I will still be stepping up on podiums next year
after I turn 40,</span>” Lyman remarked.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13pt;">The biggest star of the
evening, however, was François Parisien (SpiderTech p/b C10) who led or
attempted breaks on the second, 10th, 12th, 19th, 22th and 28th laps to roars
from spectators. Parisien, who is training for races in </span><st1:place><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Europe</span></st1:place><span style="font-size: 13pt;">,
was caught by the peloton on the last lap and finished far back in the pack.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13pt;">In a short ceremony before
the senior men’s race, the Mardis organisation honoured Lachine Mayor Claude
Dauphin, making him an official ambassador of the bike races. Sharing the title
now with Dauphin is businessman Bernard Trottier who founded the ski retail
chain bearing his name. “<span style="color: blue;">No, I’m not afraid of the competition,</span>” joked
Trottier. “<span style="color: blue;">In fact, Claude and I complete each other quite well. The
ambassador’s main job is to find monies to support the races. I played a role
in bringing title sponsor Jean Coutu aboard, but Claude played a bigger role
there.</span>”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13pt;">Among the women, it was again
Elisabeth Albert (Rocky Mountain Forget Aubin) and Catherine Couture
(independent) finishing first and second.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13pt;">Montréal, le mardi 26 juin 2012 – Jean-Michel Lachance a usé de la bonne
stratégie afin de remporter sous la pluie la quatrième étape de la saison 2012
des Mardis cyclistes Jean Coutu de Lachine.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13pt;">Le coureur membre de la formation américaine Rossetti Devo Cycling Team a
profité de la prudence de ses adversaires pour partir en trombe au tout dernier
virage de l’épreuve. Ses opposants ont été surpris par son décollage et n’ont
jamais pu le rejoindre. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13pt;">Les victimes de Jean-Michel Lachance furent le maillot jaune Jean-Samuel
Deshaies (Ekoï-Gaspésien) et le professionnel Martin Gilbert (SpiderTech).
Ceux-ci sont grimpés sur le podium, tandis que Jean-François Laroche
(Fantino-Régis) et Rémi Pelletier-Roy (Garneau-Québecor) ont complété le top-5.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13pt;">«<span style="color: blue;">Plusieurs échappées ont été tentées durant la course, mais les équipes
présentes voulaient une arrivée de peloton. J’ai décidé de lancer mon sprint le
plus tôt possible, soit directement à la sortie du dernier virage. La stratégie
a fonctionné et les autres ont été surpris</span>», a lancé le vainqueur d’étape, un
quatrième différent en autant de courses cette saison.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13pt;">Pour l’athlète de 21 ans de la région de Québec, il s’agit d’une
première victoire en carrière aux Mardis cyclistes dans la classe Pro-Élite.
Son gain précédant remonte à l’époque où il courait chez les espoirs (15-16
ans). Lachance était également heureux de cette victoire car il n’a pas pu se
faire valoir (chute) lors du critérium des championnats canadiens, présenté
dimanche à Lac-Mégantic.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13pt;">Notons que cette victoire lui permet de faire un bond vertigineux de 25
places au classement général des Mardis, soit du 37e au 12e rang.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13pt;">L’épreuve fut également profitable pour Jean-Samuel Deshaies, qui
accroit son avance de 75 points au sommet du cumulatif. «C’est dommage de ne
pas avoir gagné, a admis le porteur du maillot jaune. Cependant, on a remporté
plusieurs sprints intermédiaires et l’équipe a de nouveau accompli une solide
besogne afin de prendre de précieux points sur nos poursuivants.»<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13pt;">Martin Gilbert, un habitué de la plus haute marche du podium des Mardis,
devra prendre son mal en patience, malgré une intéressante troisième place.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13pt;">«<span style="color: blue;">Pour le sprint final, la bonne stratégie aurait été d’aborder le
dernier virage en première position. C’est le genre d’erreur qui coûte cher</span>»,
a-t-il concédé.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13pt;">Le grand perdant de la soirée est certainement Maxime Vivès
(Garneau-Québecor), qui n’a amassé que 25 points et qui est du même coup passé
du deuxième au quatrième rang du cumulatif.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13pt;">Au total, 58 coureurs ont pris le départ de l’épreuve qui s’est jouée à
une vitesse moyenne de 47 km/h.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13pt;">Finalement, Vincent Waddell (Espoirs Laval) a remporté la course des
jeunes, Véronique Drapeau-Zgoralski (Specialized-Mazda) a fait de même chez les
femmes, tandis que Thierry Kirouac (André Cycle) et Charlotte Tousignant
(Espoirs Laval) l’ont emporté chez les minimes.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

2012 (Lachine, QC) – It was Jean-Michel Lachance <span class="st">(</span>Rossetti Devo Cycling Team<span class="st">) </span>who used his head as much as his legs to
win the fourth stage of the weekly Mardis Cyclistes presented by Jean Coutu
here in the Montreal suburb of Lachine. Lachance’s victory among the senior men
was all that more impressive because he had no team mates to support him among
the 58 cyclists on the start line. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 13pt;">
<span lang="FR-CA"><span style="font-size: 13pt; line-height: 115%;">In rainy
conditions, Lachance took advantage of the cautiousness of his adversaries and
took off like an express train on the very last turn of the 50km circuit. His
rivals were caught dumbfounded by the manoeuvre and were unable to catch up. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

move, Lachance stole the victory away from series leader Jean-Samuel Deshaies (Ekoi-Gaspesien)
and from pro rider Martin Gilbert (SpiderTech p/b C10) who completed the podium
in second and third ranks respectively. Following closely in fourth was Jean-François
Laroche (Fantino-Regis) while Remi Pelletier-Roy (Garneau-Québecor) completed

many attempted breakaways this evening, but the teams here wanted things to
finish in a bunch sprint. I decided to launch my sprint as soon as possible,
just coming out of the last turn. My strategy worked and I caught the others by
surprise</span>,” said Lachance, 21. Lachance also probably had something to prove
this evening after a crash at the Canadian crit championships on Sunday in </span><st1:place><st1:placetype><span style="font-size: 13pt; line-height: 115%;">Lake</span></st1:placetype><span style="font-size: 13pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span><st1:placename><span style="font-size: 13pt; line-height: 115%;">Megantic</span></st1:placename></st1:place><span style="font-size: 13pt; line-height: 115%;"> which left him off the podium there.

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 13pt;">
<span style="font-size: 13pt; line-height: 115%;">This was his
first win among the seniors, but Lachance scored a victory a few years ago in
another age category while riding as a 15 year old. The Mardis series have been

cumulative points after the first four of 10 weekly races. "<span style="color: blue;">It’s too bad I
didn’t win,</span>" said Deshaies, “<span style="color: blue;">but our team picked up many of the
intermediate sprints and we worked solidly to prevent our rivals from picking

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13pt;">Le Team Europcar a dévoilé la liste des coureurs sélectionnés pour le
Tour de France qui s'élancera le week-end prochain de Belgique. L'équipe
vendéenne est articulée autour de ses deux leaders : Thomas Voeckler et Pierre
Rolland.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13pt;">Le doute planait sur sa participation. Thomas Voeckler sera bien au
départ du Tour de France le week-end prochain en Belgique. L'Alsacien, après
huit jours de repos forcé, a repris l'entrainement ce lundi. Quatrième de la
dernière grande Boucle, maillot jaune durant dix jours, le chouchou du public
français aura encore forcément son mot à dire. Tout comme Pierre Rolland.
Dixième et meilleur jeune l'an dernier, l'Orléanais a construit sa saison
autour de la grand-messe de juillet. Pierre Rolland sera surveillé comme le lait
sur le feu, lui qui a de belles ambitions, à l'image de tout le Team Europcar.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13pt;">Pour accompagner le duo qui a ébloui l'été 2011, les Vendéens aligneront
des lieutenants de choix. Cyril Gautier, à la recherche d'un premier succès de
référence, a le talent et les jambes pour signer un grand coup cet été. Bien
sûr, Christophe Kern n'est pas dans sa forme de l'an dernier mais il a démontré
sur le Critérium du Dauphiné qu'il revenait petit à petit au premier plan. Et
lui aussi a programmé sa montée en puissance en vue du Tour de France. Davide
Malacarne, baroudeur italien, aura lui
aussi des arguments sur les parcours escarpés. Les pointes de vitesse de
Yukiya Arashiro, Giovanni Bernaudeau et Yohann Gène seront de précieux atouts. Quant
à Vincent Jérôme, il a démontré l'an dernier son courage et sa pugnacité dans
la défense du maillot jaune. Il est logique de le retrouver en 2012. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13pt;">L'équipe pour le Tour de France : Thomas VOECKLER, Pierre ROLLAND,
Christophe KERN, Cyril GAUTIER, Yukiya ARASHIRO, Giovanni BERNAUDEAU, Yohann
Gène, Vincent JÉRÔME, Davide MALACARNE.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13pt;">Thomas Voeckler and Pierre
Rolland will lead Team Europcar's nine-man squad for the forthcoming Tour de
France, which gets underway on Saturday with a prologue in the Belgian city of </span><st1:city><st1:place><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Liege</span></st1:place></st1:city><span style="font-size: 13pt;">.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13pt;"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13pt;">Despite initial concerns
about Voeckler's fitness, the 33 year old will take to the start of the Grande
Boucle. The Frenchman - who famously wore the yellow jersey for 10 stages
during last year's Tour - had been sidelined with a knee injury for eight days,
but was back in the saddle for training on Monday.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13pt;">Fourth in last year's race,
the darling of the French public will certainly have strong ambitions in the
2012 Tour after a mixed start to the season.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13pt;">Pierre Rolland, who finished
10th last year and picked up the white jersey as best young rider, will also be
keen to build on his exceptional form in 2011. Rolland, 26 in October and so
ineligible for the maillot blanc, has built his season around the Tour de
France and is aware that he will now be a marked man in the peloton after a
breakthrough race 12 months ago that included a memorable victory atop Alpe
d'Huez in stage 19.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13pt;">Accompanying leaders Voeckler
and Rolland will be a diverse line-up with many cards to play over the three
weeks in </span><st1:country-region><st1:place><span style="font-size: 13pt;">France</span></st1:place></st1:country-region><span style="font-size: 13pt;">.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13pt;">Cyril Gautier, who impressed
in fits and bursts last year (in particular during stage eight when he was part
of a large breakaway), will target a maiden Grand Tour stage win. The 24 year
old certainly has the talent to make a splash this summer – and targeting the
white jersey is not out of the question.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13pt;">Christophe Kern is not in the
same form as he showed at key moments last year, but a promising return in the
Criterium du Dauphine was enough to secure the former national time trial
champion a place in Jean-Rene Bernaudeau's squad.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13pt;">Vincent Jerome, who showed
last year just how important he was to the team with some selfless performances
in support of the maillot jaune, retains his place in the squad. The 27 year
old will hope to have an incident-free start to the race following last year's
unfortunate series of crashes in the opening stages.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13pt;">New signing Davide Malacarne
is making his Tour debut and will look to impress on the climbs or in breaks
over rolling terrain. The 24-year-old all-rounder is also strong in the sprint,
much like the remaining three riders on the roster: </span><st1:country-region><st1:place><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Japan</span></st1:place></st1:country-region><span style="font-size: 13pt;">'s Yukiya Arashiro and French pair Giovanni Bernaudeau
and Yohann Gene.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

<span style="font-size: 13pt;">There is no place in the
squad for the 2010 polka dot jersey winner Anthony Charteau, who supported
Voeckler with much gusto in the mountains last year. Youngster Damien Gaudin
did not make the final cut and so will have to wait at least another year
before making his debut in the Tour. Sprinter Sebastian Chavanel also misses
out.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13pt;">Montréal, le mardi 19 juin 2012 – Le coureur Jean-Samuel Deshaies
(Ekoï-Gaspésien) a fait d’une pierre deux coups en remportant la troisième
étape de la saison des Mardis cyclistes de Lachine et en s’emparant du maillot
jaune de leader.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13pt;">Deshaies a remporté in extremis un sprint endiablé disputé face à Martin
Gilbert (SpiderTech) et Jean-François Laroche (Fantino-Régis), qui ont complété
le podium. La course s’est déroulée à une vitesse moyenne de 48,9 km/h dans des
conditions favorables, mais humides.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13pt;">À une centaine de mètres de la ligne, Martin Gilbert semblait voguer
vers la victoire d’étape, mais Jean-Samuel Deshaies a pu profiter d’un ultime
effort de ses coéquipiers pour le coiffer à la ligne d’arrivée. Sa première
victoire de la saison lui permet d’engranger 147 points au cumulatif, lui qui
en compte désormais 275 au total. Il défendra donc le maillot jaune la semaine
prochaine, à l’occasion du quatrième critérium du calendrier.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13pt;">«Martin va vite au sprint, c’est un vieux renard qui sait très bien où se
placer. Cependant aujourd’hui mes équipiers ont fait du très bon boulot. On
voulait que ça se finisse au sprint et tout s’est très bien déroulé», a admis
le vainqueur d’étape.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13pt;">Grâce à leurs podiums, Gilbert et Laroche ont fait des bonds
appréciables au classement général. Ils occupent dorénavant les neuvième et
quatrième rangs du cumulatif.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13pt;">Vainqueur de la deuxième étape, Maxime Vivès (Garneau-Québecor) a de
nouveau bien fait en terminant au quatrième rang et en s’emparant du deuxième
rang au général.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13pt;">Mathieu Roy (Ekoï-Gaspésien) effectuait un retour en course après s’être
blessé à la clavicule en début de saison. Il a très bien épaulé son coéquipier
victorieux, en plus de terminer au cinquième rang de l’épreuve. Hugues Lapointe
(Cycle Néron) a de son côté franchi la ligne en sixième place et grimpe du même
coup au troisième rang du classement général. Il s’empare également du maillot
de l’athlète le plus combatif.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13pt;">Finalement, le Français Aurélien Passeron (indépendant), qui a participé
au Tour de France 2008, a terminé au septième échelon. Celui-ci effectuait
également un retour à la compétition suite à une importante blessure aux côtes
subie lors d’un entraînement aux États-Unis, en début de saison. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13pt;">«Je suis satisfait de ma place aujourd’hui. Ça roulait bien et il y a
toujours une forte compétition ici», a indiqué avec humilité le coureur de 28
ans, qui prévoit un retour officiel en compétition pour 2013.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13pt;">Notons que le Lachinois Lambert Gatineau (SpiderTech), détient toujours
le maillot à pois du meilleur jeune de la compétition.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

third stage of the Mardis Cyclistes presented by Jean Coutu series here this
evening. Deshaies stopped the clock at </span><st1:time hour="13" minute="1"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">1:01:18</span></st1:time><span style="font-size: 13pt;">
in the 50km senior men’s bicycle race (crit). His victory in a bunch sprint
this evening also makes Deshaies the new leader in general classification,
putting him into the yellow jersey for next week’s race.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13pt;">Deshaies edged out
Martin Gilbert (SpiderTech p/b C10), who finished second, and last year’s
defending champion Jean-François Laroche (Fantino-Regis) who came in third. It
was a warm, muggy evening in </span><st1:city><st1:place><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Montreal</span></st1:place></st1:city><span style="font-size: 13pt;">, but the pavement was dry.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13pt;">Just before the final sprint,
it looked like the victory was Gilbert’s, but good positioning by Deshaies’
teammates led him out so he crossed the finish first. “Martin is a fast
sprinter; he’s an old fox and knows well where to place himself. Nonetheless,
my team mates did good work this evening. We wanted everything to finish in a
sprint and our hopes came true.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13pt;">Last week’s winner, Maxime

reach second in general classification, putting him at 215 points versus 275
for Deshaies.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13pt;">Mathieu Roy (Ekoï-Gaspesien),
bouncing back from a collarbone injury early in the season, finished fifth this
evening. French cyclist Aurelien Passeron (independent), a veteran of the 2008

UCI WorldTour, les 7 et 9 septembre prochain. L’édition 2011 avait attiré plus
de 275 000 spectateurs et a été diffusée dans plus de 75 pays en plus de
générer plus de 56M $ en retombées directes et indirectes pour le Québec.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

septembre. Plusieurs auront participé au Giro d’Italie, au Tour de France et
aux Jeux olympiques de Londres. Leur identité sera connue à la mi-août. Les
trois équipes Continentales Professionnelles sont : l’équipe SpiderTech propulsée

aux épreuves de plus de 200 km courues sur les circuits urbains de Québec et de
Montréal. « La pérennité d’un grand rassemblement sportif repose beaucoup sur
l’expérience des spectateurs. Nous avons ainsi bonifié l’expérience de celles

en ajoutant des services au grand public, a indiqué Serge Arsenault, président
des GPCQM. Notre nouveau partenariat avec Québecor nous permettra également de
faire profiter les québécois de la télédiffusion à grande échelle des courses
en direct et en différé sur les ondes de TVA et TVA Sports, » a-t-il ajouté.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

this innovative event, created by the GPCQM organizers, took place last year
and was enthusiastically received by the professional teams, each of which
voluntarily entered one racer. This spectacular sprintevent, involving elimination
heats of three and four riders over a one-kilometre distance, will be back on
September 6, and is expected to once again feature competitors from every
professional team entered in the Québec City GPC. To round out the field of 24
starters, the 21 professional cyclists will be joined by three Canadian
sprinters who will have qualified during the Canadian Road Championships, being
held June 21 to 24 at Lac-Mégantic, Québec.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13pt;">Lors de la première étape, partie 13ième dans la caravane, ce chiffre a
porté malchance! Charles Bryer, Émile Jean on eu chacun 2 ennuis mécanique, Jean
Samuel Deshaies et Pierrick Naud ont eu pour leur part un ennui chacun. Le
dernier ennui est survenu à un très mauvais moment ''à moins de 8 km de
l'arrivée, Pierrick a fait une crevaison et nous l'avons attendu car c'était le
coureur le plus en forme de l'équipe'' Rapporte Jordan Brochu. Malgré cet
effort d'équipe, Pierrick n'a pas pu revenir aux avant postes pour disputé le
sprint final.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 13pt;">Lors de la deuxième étape, la course s'est déroulé sans problème majeur.
à moins de 5 km de l'arrivée, 3 coureurs de l'équipe était en bonne position
pour le sprint final. Pierrick a encore
une fois eu une crevaison qui l'a contraint à oublier une fois de plus son
sprint. ''<span style="color: blue;"> J'ai voulu attendre Pierrick pour le ramener, mais c'était une
erreur de ma part, car Pierrick et moi avons raté notre sprint</span>'' rapporte
Jordan Brochu. Comme si la malchance n'était pas suffisante. à 2 km de
l'arrivée le seul représentant restant a crevé lui aussi! Jean Samuel Deshaies
a été crédité du temps du peloton, mais n'a pas pus disputéer le sprint final.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

racing in Beauce but so far hasn't had much luck since the beginning of the
Tour.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13pt;">The first obstacle we had to
overcome was starting from an unfavourable 13th position. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13pt;">Charles Bryer and Émile Jean had
multiple mechanical problems during the race and Jean Samuel Deshaies and
Pierrick Naud also had issues. But the
main set back in this stage happened late in the race as Pierrick Naud got a
flat only 8km from the finish. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13pt;">Jordan Brochu and Jean-Samuel Deschaies then worked to bring
Pierrick back to the main peloton but unfortunately due to the timing was
unable to place himself for the final sprint. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13pt;">The second stage was going well as we had three riders in good position until 5km from the end when
Pierrick Naud got yet another flat. As a team, the first instinct is to tend to
your leader, but this late in the race Jordan Brochu's decision to wait for
Pierrick Naud took both of them out of contention. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13pt;">The only rider left in the front
group, Jean Samuel Deschaies then flatted 2km from the finish and also missed
the final sprint. But he was credited the same time as the front group.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
