From Scott McFarlane, Team Silber Pro GM.
Canadian Road Race team Silber Pro Cycling swept the podium in both the U23 ITT and the Criterium at the 2018 Canadian Road Championships held in Saguenay, Quebec from June 21-24. The team has now won a total of 27 medals at the Canadian Championships over the last 4 years–a remarkable record of performance and consistency for a development program.
This year’s Silber standouts include Adam Roberge and Nick Zukowsky. After a breakout performance at the Tour de Beauce leading into Nationals, 21-year-old Roberge successfully defended his U23 ITT title. Meanwhile, Zukowsky’s all-round performance in Saguenay established the 20-year-old as capable of progressing onto the world stage. He won the silver behind Roberge in the U23 ITT, was a key early factor in the Road Race and won the National Crit Championships.
Nationals revealed that Silber Pro Cycling remains the key development program for U23 riders in the country. Fraser and Roth continue to provide leadership that helps produce national titles and great ambassadors for the sport. Industry sponsors like Live to Play Sports continue to provide the very best equipment, technical wear and accessories, like Maxima Lubricants, Park Tools Kinetic Trainers and Feedback Sports Workstands.
