It’s with great smiles that the Peter Wedge RACERS just got back from there first ever international experience. The International Tour de Rimouski was a major stepping stone for these young cadet riders. The event was a 5 day, 6 stage road race that included teams from the North American peloton.
“They each have a success story to talk about at the conclusion of there first international experience. The fact that the Centre was able to prepare two teams (we were the only region with two teams) for that event was great”; mentioned one of the coaches present at this event, Sheila Colbourne.
In terms of results, PEI’s Simon Trivett turned a lot of heads by finishing 5th overall. Sussex’s Neil Symington, Dieppe’s Justin Mallet and Marc Evers finished (ironically) 23rd, 24th and 25th, while Julien Roussel (also from Dieppe, NB) finished 28th overall. Guest riding for our group, Fredericton’s Andrew Evans finished 47th. On the women’s side, Fredericton’s Julia Cormier was not able to complete to long stage race.

The Atlantic Cycling Centre’s head coach, Luc Arseneau was happy with the performances: “I really feel positive about this group and the way the performed throughout last week. I think it’s a good start to great things to come for this developmental program.”
Congratulations to Stuart Wight who has been chosen as one of the four cyclists for the Youth Olympic Team. Stuart will participate in the Youth Olympic Championships in mid August in Singapore.
