Two Milton residents will headline the Tissot UCI Track Nations Cup next weekend.
Cycling Canada says more than 300 athletes will suit up at the Mattamy National Cycling Centre in Milton. This will be the last opportunity for track athletes to qualify for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, which are going to be held from July 26th to August 11th.
“We have a strong team for this Nations Cup,” says Dan Proulx, Cycling Canada Head Coach. “We have a performance team and a development team entered: our current best riders and the riders of the future. It’s an honour to race in the maple leaf in front of a home crowd. With Paris 2024 in sight, it’s important for us to do well. It will be an intense competition as many other nations are also trying to secure points.”
