The 2023 Cycling Canada and USA Cycling national esports championships presented by Echelon Racing Promotions saw 22 Canadians win national titles on the Wahoo RGT platform across under-17, junior, elite, masters and para categories on Feb. 11-12.

Cyclists completed between one to three laps of the Dirty Reiver course, a tough 18-km loop featuring steady climbs and an uphill sprint to the finish.

Defending champions Laura Perry (masters women 35-44), Richard Keller (masters men 45-54) and Anna Tykoliz (masters women 65+) repeated in their respective categories.

Julia Lehmann, Patrick Harris and Tristan Taillefer raced for the win in the junior and under-17 categories, while Lowell Taylor captured the first-ever virtual national paracycling title.

In preparation for the 2023 UCI cycling esports world championships, Thomas Thrall (elite men), Mairen Lawson (elite women) and Josée Rossignol (masters women 45-54) all secured their first virtual jersey. They will be racing in the virtual course of Glasgow on Zwift on Feb. 18.
