"It's always special to come back to Beauce," Tuft said. "It's one of the first big races I did way back in 2001. I have great memories from this race, and I believe it's one of Canada's most important races for the development of our younger riders. It's a race that's always difficult and has a European style to it.
Tuft is the last Canadian rider to win the stage race in 2008 while racing f𝕴or Symmetrics. He will lead a team of seven riders𓂃 that also includes Isreal Cycling Academy's Ben Perry, who recently finished sixth at the Tour of Korea.
"I like - whenever possible - to create blended projects where we incl♚ude our emerging under-23/25 athletes with our more experienced pros," said Kevin Field, Road Program🌊 Manager at Cycling Canada.
"I'm excited we have the chance to work with Ben and Svein on this project. Ben is still an emerging young fella himself, now in his second se꧅ason Pro Conti, and brings lots of European🎃 pro bike experience to bring to our game. And, of course Svein, our most seasoned WorldTour rider."
The team will also field🥀 Elevate-KHS riders Jordan Cheyne, who was third at Tour de Beauce last year, and James Piccoli, who was 10th at the Tour of Utah last year. The team is rounded out by Jay Lamoureux, Michael Foley and Derek Gee.
"Jay, Michael and Derek join us from our men's track endurance program, and it's in great parꦰt thanks to our men's track endurance coach Jono Hailstone that this project is happening," Field said. "We have a strong team and I'm excited to work with everyone."
