The UCI WorldTour heads to Canada at the end of this week for the pair of one-day races known collectively as the Laurentian Classics: the Grand Prix de Québec and Grand Prix de Montréal.
The only events from the World Tour to take place on North American roads, both races have attracted star studded fields in recent years, with the likes of Peter Sagan (Tinkoff), Philippe Gilbert (BMC) and Simon Gerrans (Orica-BikeExchange) all claiming wins since the races’ inauguration in 2010.
