Para-cycling nations rally behind Canada in solidarity as Weldon and Roy Begin Healing Process
First day of competition at the Para-cycling World Cup finals
The 2013 UCI Para-Cycling World Cup Finals in Matane, QC began today with the first wave of time trials, and the entire para-cycling community rallied in solidarity to show their support to the Canadian team that lost its star tandem.
After the highly emotional day that the Canadian Team faced yesterday with the lost of its star tandem due to a motor vehicle accident, the Canadian para-cyclists regrouped to kick start the competition.
Mark Ledo had the best Canadian performance of the day, finishing fourth of the men’s H3 time trial race, approximately 15 seconds from a spot on the podium. Robert Labbé posted his international personal best this season.
Three Canadians competed in the Men H2 race, with Charles Moreau taking the eight spot, while Mark Beggs and Jimmy Pelletier finished 10th and 14th.
In the women H2 race, Myriam Adam finished eleventh.
The event continues with the second waive of time trials on Friday, and two days of road racing on the weekend.
