Maggie Coles-Lyster won from a bunch sprint in Saint Georges, Quebec, to score her second national title on Saturday, and seal a special victory for Human Powered Health.
Coles-Lyster's fast finish saw her storm to her first road race win in four years ahead of EF Education-Oatly's Alexandra Volstad and Movistar's Olivia Baril, who rounded out the podium. Volstad took the U23 title in the process.
The victory follows Coles-Lyster's first pro win at the Tour Down Under one-day race at the end of January, in what has been a stand-out season for the 27-year old from Maple Ridge in British Columbia following a comeback from iliac artery surgery.
Defending champion Alison Jackson (St Michel - Preference Home - Auber93) just missed out on a podium spot, finishing in fourth.
Speaking after the race to Cycling Canada, Coles-Lyster said: “It’s amazing. It’s been four years since I last won this. After the last year, with my iliac artery surgery, it’s been a really fun comeback. I’m really happy with where I am and to be able to wear the maple leaf this year.”
