Excerpts from Silber Pro Cycling<\/a>.com:<\/p>\n

They say it\u2019s \u201cwhere legends are born<\/strong><\/a>\u201d let\u2019s hope that\u2019s true. What we do know is that\u00a0Matteo Dal Cin<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0is the first Canadian to win the Redlands Bicycle Classic in the 34 year history of the race. So that\u2019s historic!<\/p>\n

The win was a total team effort. We could not be more proud. Redlands is the first major \u2018appointment\u2019 on the North American domestic racing season. After a winter spent training and an early season where teams are scattered around racing in Arizona, Florida, Texas, California and\u00a0abroad<\/strong><\/a>\u2026 everyone converges in Redlands with their \u2018A\u2019 players and their \u2018A\u2019 game wanting to test themselves against each other for the first time of the season. The race is made more important by its rich history. It was an honour to have a rider from our team added to the prestigious list of winners.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the team, in their own words:<\/p>\n

I\u2019m really proud of the way the team raced today. We executed one of our strategies to perfection and seeing it pay off was incredibly rewarding. Thanks to all our\u00a0<\/em>sponsors<\/em><\/strong><\/a>\u00a0and especially to Arthur Silber for giving us this opportunity. \u2013 Gord Fraser<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m over the moon it was such a cool experience executing our plan \u2013\u00a0to a \u2018t\u2019\u00a0\u2013 today\u2026 incredible.<\/em><\/p>\n

The team was amazing. Ben covered the initial break and pressured Jamis. Nigel made the break as well. Kris, Emile, Elliot and Nicholas were supposed to\u00a0just survive\u00a0the first climb to the time bonus before coming to help me. They did more than that, they were right by my side from the word go along with Mikey. I was so well looked after for the laps Jamis was chasing it was incredible.<\/em><\/p>\n

Kris doing it after he crashed and mangled his ankle was super motivating, he could have pulled out he\u2019s pretty badly hurt but to have him there today was awesome.<\/em><\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t over think it when the opportunity to go came it was what we\u2019d talked about just 50km before we thought it\u2019d happen. Nigel being up there with me was a life saver. He did the work, and knowing you have a guy in the group who has your back is huge. There were so many times that I would have been absolutely hung out to dry if he hadn\u2019t been there, it was a stellar ride by him today.<\/em><\/p>\n

Words can\u2019t describe how great it was to have the guys looking out for me all week. It really helps you dig-in that little bit more when you know your teammates have put their trust in you \u2014 you have to do your best ride, after they sacrifice for you all day.\u201d \u2013 Matteo dal Cin<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cToday we executed Gord\u2019s race tactics perfectly. I ended up doing quite a bit of work once I got in the move we wanted with Matteo. It was easy for me to turn myself inside out though for a great leader like Matteo. Icing on the cake was learning that I had also won the KOM jersey!\u201d \u2013 Nigel Ellsay<\/em><\/p>\n
