Quebec Cycling Awards

Here's the translation of the 2000 Quebec Cycling Awards which were presented last Sunday (November 12th) in Montreal during the FQSC AGM. I copy them infrench and released them to you as soon as the Federation let them know. Some of your readers didn't appreciate a french news, so maybe next time I will wait till I have time to translate, if I do, before giving you news and results from Quebec.

Thanks

Michel Bourgault
