Casually scanning the list of yesterday's fight to wear the Canadian TT jersey and Holy Cows! there are some familiar names darned high up these lists:

Anika: 3rd place, Women's elite
Jay: top-10, U23; top 30, Men's elite
Dylan C.: top 30, Men's elite
Some other notable Victorian achievements:

These are incredible, world-class performances by athletes we've had the privilege to ride alongside. Huge congrats to each of them!
