It was a rain-soaked elite women's road race at the Canadian Road Championships on Sunday, with Olivia Baril (Movistar) prevailing in the tough conditions in Quebec, which had earlier led to a delay and shortening of the junior men's race.

Baril, who was second in the national time trial, came across the line three seconds ahead of Magdeleine Vallieres (EF Education-Cannondale) to claim her first elite road title.
