New kit day is great\u2014but especially great when that involves a new rainbow jersey. On Saturday, Sherbrooke, Qu\u00e9.\u2019s Magdeleine Valli\u00e8res showed off her new kit courtesy of her EF Education\u2013EasyPost squad. The Canadian is set to race the Giro dell\u2019Emilia<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Valli\u00e8res took a stunning win a week ago in Rwanda. To some, it was a shock, but for those who power of the punchy climber, it was not.<\/p>\n

As far as racing in the coveted jersey, she knows she may be marked just a little more.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe riders didn\u2019t really know me before, but now they know my name. In the peloton I\u2019ll be watched more,\u201d she said<\/a>. \u201cMaybe I won\u2019t be able to get away so easily anymore, but at the same time, I\u2019ll have more opportunities with my team. But it also means I will have the rainbow bands on my sleeves for the rest of my career.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her kit of choice has gone with a traditional black bib\u2014but she may opt for a full white speedsuit, similar to what her fellow world champion Tadej Poga\u010dar does. Choices!<\/p>\n

In Rwanda, Valli\u00e8res was on firm footing, riding near the front of the pack, following moves but out of the wind. Once she made what would be the winning move, she pushed the pace. And when the last three riders hit the final climb, no one had a chance. She launched up the C\u00f4te de Kimihurura and soloed to a historic, beautiful win\u2014the first Canadian elite rider to ever win the world road race.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s even cooler about her win is that next year\u2019s 2026 UCI road worlds are in Montreal. So she will be defending her jersey on home turf\u2014on a hilly course that suits her, no less. She knows the course well, at least from TV.<\/p>\n

\u201cI grew up watching the Grands Prix Cyclistes de Qu\u00e9bec et de Montr\u00e9al. That was the first race I followed as a kid. To race there, and with the rainbow jersey, is something special,\u201d she said. \u201cWith Camillien-Houde, it\u2019s a good circuit for me. I think it\u2019s going to be pretty special.\u201d<\/p>\n
