Tour de Beauce set for open racing

It's just one day until Canada's biggest men's road race, the Tour de Beauce, begins in Lac Etchemin, and already it appears as though this year's race will be a very tight contest. Running from June 13-18, the Tour de Beauce has attracted a quality field of riders, with teams travelling from Germany, Australia, Canada, United States, Netherlands, New-Zealand, Ireland, Mexico and Japan to compete.

Last year's winner Nathan O'Neill won't be defending his title after switching teams in the winter, but his former team, Navigators Insurance, will be riding, and with a couple of tricks up their sleeve they'll definitely be the driving force during the five days of racing.
