At the same event last year, Canadian cyclists placed third in the medal ranking with 10 medals, including five medals by Beveridge.
The team’s coach this year, Rob Good, explains “The team has set realistic goals for 2011. We are entering competition with a better understanding of how the racing takes shape and the athletes will have a game plan going into each event. The 5 returning athletes on the team know what it will take to podium and that is the goal of all members of the team.”
The last race takes place this April 17th and we look forward to updating you on all the final medal standings!
