Preview
The rainbow jersey race: 273.7 km and 3,803 m of climbing, starting at Quartier DIX30 in Brossard, crossing the Samuel De Champlain Bridge into the city, and finishing with twelve laps of the 13.4 km Mount Royal circuit. Each lap carries 269 m of climbing across three distinct tests — the Voie Camillien-Houde (2.3 km at 6.2%), the Chemin de la Polytechnique with ramps beyond 11%, and a deceptive false flat rising along Avenue du Parc to the line. It is the circuit of the Grand Prix Cycliste de Montréal, and it rewards punchy riders who can still climb after six hours of racing.
Who suits this course
