North America's Greatest Premier Treat!!!

"The UCI World Tour"

Press Release August 25, 2010: In 2010 the UCI and Quebec/Montreal brought the elite Professional Peloton to North America. The UCI awarded a pair of licences to present the first-ever North American stops on the World Tour (formerly the ProTour) racing circuit. The organization is in charge of planning and presenting the Québec City and Montréal races from 2010 to 2016 inclusively.

  • We have a high-quality peloton that will be racing on two difficult, up-and-down courses, with repeated hill climbs that will favor climber-puncheur riders and all-rounders,” said Charly Mottet, Sport Manager, Grand Prix Cycliste ProTour Québec – Montréal, who officially sanctioned the two Québec courses on behalf of the International Cycling Union (UCI). A road racing legend in France, Mottet finished third at the Grand Prix des Amériques in 1989, on the Mount Royal course in Montréal. 
  • “I am very happy with the positive response from the teams. Each has entered riders who will be a great match for the two racecourses we have prepared for them,” noted Serge Arsenault, President, Grand Prix Cycliste ProTour Québec – Montréal.
