Le Tour du Grand Montréal - 2.9.1
Canada, May 31-June 2, 2004
Stage 1 - May 31: René-Lévesque Park, Lachine ITT, 3 km
Official report
|
Tina Mayolo-Pic (Genesis Scuba) today won the first stage of the Tour of Greater Montreal. She completed the 3.5-kilometre time trial in 3 minutes, 56 seconds, at an average speed of 53.38 km/h. Dede Demet-Barry (USA, T Mobile) and Lyne Bessette (CAN, Quark) completed the podium, finishing respectively one and two seconds behind Mayolo-Pic.
"I'm happy and a little bit surprised", said Pic, in spite of her fame as an explosive, fast racer. "The wind had calmed down a bit when I started; it may have given me a small break. But my clock was all messed up, I didn't have any references, I figured, 'maybe I'll manage to break 4 minutes', but I had no idea!" joked Mayolo-Pic after the race.
A strong criterium rider, she intends to "watch everybody" and to defend her leader's jersey tonight, in Montreal's Little Italy. The Tour's next stage will be 50 times around a 1-kilometre course, before a crowd - and a party - livened up by Montreal's Italian community.
