Canada also has an extremely strong foun-
dation of Junior riders. “I remember being
awestruck by the number of talented Ju-

Nationals,” says Landry, “and the number
of riders has doubled since then.”
“Our goal is to ensure cycling remains a
powerhouse well into the future, to pro-
vide the tools our athletes and coaches re-
quire to be world-leaders from the grass-
roots to elite levels, and to make the sport
one of the premier activities in all corners
of the country,” says Lafontaine.
