May 13, 2009 (Devon) – The Canadian Cycling Association announced the Town of Devon to host the Masters, Para-cycling, Junior and U17 races for the 2010 Road National Cycling Championships. From June 25 to July 5, 2010, more than 500 of Canada’s top cyclists will descend upon Devon for a chance to become Canada’s Top Road Cyclist. Athletes will be competing for National Championship jerseys in three road cycling events: criterium, individual time trial and road race.

“We are honored to have been chosen as a host community for the 2010 Road National Cycling Championships. This is a fantastic opportunity to showcase the sport of cycling to our community, to encourage active living and to share our spirit with the country. We are thrilled to see that in just three years the Morgan Devon Grand Prix of Cycling has not only become one of the largest stage races in Alberta but in 2010 it will be part of the largest cycling event in the country! We are looking forward to rolling out the red carpet and giving the athletes the royal treatment,” says Town of Devon Mayor, Anita Fisher.

As the host city Edmonton will hold the Elite and U23 races on the first weekend, with the National Criterium Championships occurring at the Alberta Legislature on Canada Day. The Devon events will occur on the second weekend (July 2-4, 2010)

 “Edmonton is increasingly becoming a hub for cycling in western Canada and the Alberta Bicycle Association is excited to be bringing another National Championship race to Alberta,” said Kipp Kaufmann, Executive Director of the Alberta Bicycle Association. “Edmonton has a long tradition of communitywide support and passion for sport events.”

The races will be run by an organizing committee that includes veteran organizers from a variety of cycling clubs in Edmonton. 

Athletes will be competing for the National Championship jerseys in three road cycling events: criterium, individual time trial and road race. The first weekend will play host to the under 23 and Elite individual time trial and road race, which will take place within the City of Edmonton. Similar courses that were used in the World Masters Games are being investigated.

The Masters, Para-cycling, Junior and U17 races will take place during the second weekend just outside of Edmonton in the city of Devon. The host of the Devon Stage Race, one of Alberta’s largest stage races, will be rolling out the red carpet for the athletes.

The National Criterium Championships will take place on Canada Day at the Alberta Legislature. The spectator friendly event is expected to attract large crowds. http://www.canadian-cycling.com/cca/media/news/2009/0512_2010road.shtml

The Morgan Devon Grand Prix only happens through the generous sponsorship and support of several groups – all from the Devon Community:

Morgan Construction http://www.mcel.ca/

Morgan Construction is an oilfield construction and environmental contractor in Acheson Alberta (just north of Devon).  Morgan is active in supporting various youth sporting and health causes, with the Morgan Devon Grand Prix as thier flagships event.  Morgan supports the race through employee time, funding, race supplies, and logistics.

Town of Devon  http://www.town.devon.ab.ca/home/default.aspx

The Town of Devon has been instrumental in bringing the Grand Prix to Devon.  With tireless help from town staff, funding and logistical support, the Town of Devon stands out amoung Alberta communities in the bike racing community.

Devon Garden Market IGA

The Devon IGA has made it possible for the Devon Youth Drop-in center to use the Devon Grand Prix as a fund raising opportunity.  IGA generously donates all the buns, hot dogs, condiments, propane and BBQ to the YDIC at no cost so they can host the hot dog stand, and keep the volunteers and racers fed.

Merriott Fitness  http://www.merriottfitness.com/

The new fitness club located in Devon right on the race site has generously provided funding necessary to source Emergency medical support.  In addition Merriott has formed a relationship with the Grand Prix to provide race volunteers.  Merriott is also developing a training program for its clientelle to get ready to race in the 2010 national championships!  Call Merriott at 780-987-4641 if you want to get fit or try racing!

Devon Chevrolet  http://www.devonchevrolet.com/

Devon Chevrolet has provided funding support to the Devon Grand Prix since day 1, and has made it possible to source important extras needed for race day, such as the music and PA system. 

Alldritt Development Limited  http://www.alldrittgroup.com/

Alldritt Development Limited has been supportive of the Grand Prix since the first event, allowing the race to use their properties and facilities for the race location and headquarters.  Without this support the race would not be possible in the downtown core, one of the key aspects that makes the race so appealing to racers and accessible to spectators.  Alldritt is very involved with the development of the Town of Devon, and particularily with the downtown area, in the heart of Devon.

As in 2008 there will be alot of great things to see and do!

• Giant Inflatable Monster Truck
• Fire truck rides
• Kids Parade of Wheels
• Hot Dog and pop stand
• Stunt riders
• Great racing! 

Click here for the race guide.

For 2009, we need volunteers to marshal the course, and if possible to provide vehicles on Sunday morning, June 28th, from 7:00 am until about noon.  You’ll be treated to a free steak BBQ and a tank of gas!

If you are interested in volunteering in 2009, please contact the Tim or Cindy Brewster at 780-288-7346 or 780-987-7346.

Here is the link for the 2008 results – see Devon GP: Road race, Criterium, ITT, or Sprints

http://app.albertabicycle.ab.ca/results/2008

The Devon Grand Prix 2008 was held from June 13 – 15/08 and attracted over 210 riders from Alberta and Saskatchewan competing for over $6500 in prize money. The race consisted of 4 stages: 400 meter sprints Friday night, a 32 km ITT on Saturday morning to warm the legs up, a fast 4 corner criterium Saturday night and a 110 km road race on Sunday morning with 2 KOMs for omnium points.  Sixteen U17 and U15 riders competed in a shortened Saturday morning ITT and a Saturday afternoon criterium. Even with threatening skies on all three days, the racers managed to stay dry and reasonably warm although wind was a factor in the ITT and the road race stages.  The final results were calculated on an omnium basis.

In the U15/U17 races, Samuel Beaudoin from Juventus showed great form with a second in the ITT and a first in the criterium to claim the overall win. Dan Rosichuk from Velocity Cycle finished second in the overall and Adam Todd (Juventus) a close third.

Cat 5 was a close affair with 10 points separating the top 5 but Ryan Pederson (Velocity) with consistent top placing netted him the overall win over Gerhard Jacobs ( Crankies ) and Geoff Rackette (Velocity).

Ben Adams (United Cycle) showed excellent form soloing to a win in the cat 4 road race, picking up most of the KOM points along the way and capping the overall win over sprint ace Ty Andrews (Team Alberta/Bowcycle) and Mark Ruttiman (Pedalhead Roadwork’s).

The junior  riders from the Team Alberta Abitibi Team used the Cat 3 event for training and building teamwork. The hard work and talent showed with Justin Middleton (Team Alberta/Juventus) taking stage wins in the sprints and the road race and second in the criterium for the overall win. Alex Shaw (Speed Theory) took the ITT on the way to second overall and Alex McCormick (Team Alberta/Juventus) took third overall with third in the ITT, a criterium stage win and 5th in the road race.

The Woman’s field pitted pursuit star Tara Whitten (Velocity) against XC oriented Mical Dyck (Terrascape/Trek) and Pepper Harlton (Juventus) and roadies Heather Kay (ERTC) and Andrea Bunnin (Team Sask).  Tara’s power proved too much as she took 3rd in the sprints, a ITT stage win and a road stage win for the overall victory and $600 cash. Pepper road a good ITT and took the sprints with pair of thirds in the crit and the road race for second overall. Heather Kay had consistent results in all stages and a close 2nd in the road race for 3rd overall.

Category 1-2 had a good field 46 riders with Team H and R Block having the numerical advantage over the other teams. In the sprints, the pairing of Cody Canning (ERTC/Revolution) and Shaun Adamsom (Juventus/RVC/Kona) proved to have the fastest time of the night. In the ITT, Bruce Copeland (Juventus/RVC/Kona) had the fastest time by a minute over Gideon Krishtalka (H and R Block) in second but neither were eligible for omnium points leaving Cyrus Kangarloo (H and R Block) with the third fastest time to take maximum points for the ITT.  In the 40 minute criterium, the attacks and counters went continuously but nothing stuck leaving Mark Bomhoff (United Cycle) to outsprint Jeff Bolstad (H and R Block) for the stage win. In the road race, a small group broke away from the main group before the first KOM and from that Tim Heemskirk (United Cycle) and Taylor Little (United Cycle) went clear. The pair had a gap of up to 2 ½ minutes over the chase group but the duo was caught at 500 meters by the group with another chase group closing up rapidly. At the line it was Jeff Bolstad taking the sprint over Marc Bomhoff. After trading stage wins it came down to points from the Friday sprints and Marc’s 4th place netted him two more points than Jeff’s 6th, just enough for the overall win. Team H and R Block’s Mark MacDonald had consistent results in all stages to take third on the omnium.

The second annual Devon Grand Prix was a resounding success and raised over $1000 for the Devon Youth Drop In Center. Juventus Cycling Club would like to than our sponsors including the Morgan Construction, River Valley Cycle, the Town of Devon, Devon Chevrolet, Devon IGA and Brother’s Sports for their contributions to the event. Thanks also to the Devon Legion Ladies Auxiliary who provided an excellent post race bbq steak dinner.  A final thank you to the ABA staff and commissaries plus co-organizer Time Brewster for making this event runs so smoothly.
