CANADA WINS FOUR SILVER MEDALS ON OPENING DAYS OF THE PARA ROAD WORLD CUP #2

After winning a total of six medals last weekend, Team Canada started off strong at the second Para Road World Cup, winning four silver medals in the Individual Time Trial. World champion Shelley Gautier of Toronto finished second in the women’s T1 category, while Charles Moreau of Victoriaville also took the silver in the men’s H3 race. On Friday, Tristen Chernove of Cranbrook, BC placed second in the men’s C2 category, with Ross Wilson of Edmonton taking the same spot in the C1 category.  

Competition continues on Saturday and Sunday with the road races for all categories.

“In the past I’ve started too fast and then faded at the end,” said Ross Wilson. “I made a conscious effort to negative split the race. Eight tenths is so close, especially after a training injury less than four weeks ago.”

“We got off to a great start,” said Sebastien Travers, Para Head Coach at Cycling Canada. “The most encouraging result was having three riders in the top eight of the highly competitive H3 class, with Charles second, Alex fifth and Joey eighth.”
