Canadian Track Athletes in Trinidad and Tobago

The Canadian track team of Daniele Defranceschi, Jean-Michel Lachance, Adam Thuss, and Stephane Cossette raced in the Tobago criterium on the weekend as part of the Beacon Cycling Festival. Thuss finished third in this competitive race.

Thuss says, “I bridged across to the original three with Sabastien Donadio and made it 5, eventual winner Emile Abraham bridged across to make an even 6. Jean-Michel tried to bridge once the break was established but the Europeans were driving the break and he couldn’t quite make it across. We lapped the field within with 15 laps to go and worked well together until 7 to go. Leif Lampater was the first to strike, and went solo until 4 to go and I launched a counter attack with 3 to go. It wasn’t to be, I was reeled in within the lap and lined it up in the sprint to take a third.”
