Derek Gee (Israel-PremierTech) soloed to victory to claim his first road title at the Canadian Road Championships on Saturday. Gee, who finished second in the time trial yesterday, had plenty of time to celebrate, crossing the line over three minutes ahead of his closest rival in St-Georges.
Gee’s teammate Hugo Houle was second. Friday’s TT winner Michael Leonard (Ineos Grenadiers) rounded out the podium.
“I’m unbelievably excited to wear the maple leaf for the next 12 months,” Gee said in a team release. “That’s something I have always envied when I have seen it on other people, so I’m very excited to have that chance now.”
