The second act of the Canadian WorldTour races sees Wout van Aert, Tadej Pogačar, Michael Matthews, Peter Sagan, Biniam Girmay and Alberto Bettiol clash at the Grand Prix Cycliste de Montréal on Sunday.

It is their final face-off before this year's Road World Championships in Australia and the hilly Montreal circuit race should give a real indication of their rainbow jersey hopes and each riders' strengths and weaknesses ahead of the Sunday September 25 world title battle.
