Cameron Evans concluded the 2007 Tim Hortons Road Nationals cycling competition on Wednesday with a 36 second victory over teammate Andrew Randell in the men's elite road race. Dominique Perras of Quebec finished a further three seconds behind Randell.

A 13-rider group broke free after the first 20 kilometres of the 180 kilometre trek. With 40 kilometres to go that group dispersed and only six stayed at the front including the three medallists.

Evans capitalized on a climb to breakaway with eight kilometres to go. Perras tried to chase him down but Randell, who is Evans' Team Symmetrics teammate, wasn't collaborating.

"This is the biggest win of my career," said Evans, the under-23 national champion in 2004. "There was no discussion before the race to decide for whom we would work for. As soon as the breaks started we knew we had three chances to win. When I broke away on my own, I felt good, so I just put my head down and raced hard until the finish."

Perras was looking earn his first national title since 2003 in Hamilton. "It's the third year in a row I'm third. I was trapped in the last part of the race. In the group of six, three were from Team Symmetrics. Under those circumstances it's a good result, but I really wanted to win."

The Beauce region will host the nationals once again next year.
