with my Illiac Artery surgery<\/a>, it\u2019s been a really fun comeback,\u201d Coles-Lyster told Cycling Canada after the race. \u201cI\u2019m really happy with where I am and to be able to wear the maple leaf this year.\u201d<\/p>\nBehind Coles-Lyster, Alex Volstad finished second with Olivia Baril taking third to complete the elite women\u2019s podium.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m pretty stoked about the U23 title, it\u2019s nice to defend,\u201d said Alex Volstad. Finishing second in the elite women\u2019s race behind Coles-Lyster, Volstad admits she had more than the U23 win on her mind . \u201cI wanted the elite win by Maggie earned it. She\u2019s such a good rider, she timed it perfectly and got me at the line, so I can\u2019t complain.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cl\u00e9mence Cousineau finishes second and Dylan Baker third in the under-23 race.<\/p>\n
