Ryder Hesjedal (Victoria, BC) was the sole entrant for Canada in the elite men's road race, but he did not finish the 265.8 km event. "I was doing okay, I felt pretty good," commented Hesjedal about his race. "The conditions have been good, I tried to stay quiet and conservative, and I just realized at three laps to go that I was be going to go the distance." Hesjedal added that he was satisfied with the experienced he gained at the Salzburg World's.
