Steffi Häberlin (Switzerland) took the Tour de Gatineau victory on Thursday from a breakaway sprint. The Swiss Champion outsmarted and outsprinted Liv AlUla Jayco, who had three riders in the breakaway, beating Georgia Baker at the line while Ava Holmgren (Canada U23) took third on the day.

"[It means] a lot. It was the first international race I have ever won. I said to the girls that I won nationals, so far, and I'm really grateful they gave me this opportunity to race here with the federation and to have such a nice race with these girls," Häberlin said.
