The Grand Prix de Montréal tackles multiple laps of a circuit worthy of the World Championships and Montreal was the site of Eddy Merckx’s triumph in 1974.

Fellow Belgian Greg Van Avermaet (CCC Team) emulated the Cannibal in 2019, putting out a powerful, well-timed surge to win the Grand Prix de Montréal.

It was Van Avermaet's third win of 2019 after stages in the Tour de Yorkshire and Volta a la Communitat Valenciana but proved to be the highlight of his 2019 season.
