The race:
The Grand Prix Cycliste de Montréal is a single-day professional bicycle race held in Montréal, Quebec, Canada. Currently (2022) it is run in mid-September. It is a new race, first run in 2010.
The second North American World Tour race, the Grand Prix Cycliste de Montréal comes two days after the GP de Québec. Together, the pair are known as the Laurentian Classics. Until 2014 when Simon Gerrans triumphed, no rider had been able to do the "Laurentian Double", win both races in the same year.
The Grand Prix Cycliste de Montréal is a circuit race with a challenging course that ends with an uphill finish on Avenue du Parc.
The climbs:
- Côte Camilien-Houde: 1.8 km long @ 8% average gradient
- Côte de la Polytechnique: 780 meters @ 6%
- Avenue du Parc: 560 @ 4%
The race was not run in 2020 and 2021 because of the Covid-19 pandemic.
