After a strong season indoors at the inaugural UCI Track Champions League, B.C.’s Maggie Coles-Lyster is rolling into road season at pace. The Canadian won Saturday’s road race at the Tucson Bicycle Classic with her DNA Pro Cycling.

Coles-Lyster pad back to work of her DNA Pro Cycling rider, who pushed the pace all day in the women’s pro event. Coles-Lyster beat InstaFund Racing’s Rylee McMullen and Canadian Olympian Ariane Bonhomme (The Cyclery Racing) at the line.

Kaitlyn Rauwerda (DNA Pro Cycling) followed close behind in fifth and Holly Simonson (Red Truck Racing) a few spots back in ninth put four Canadians in the top-10 on Saturday.

Bonhomme holds onto a 14-second advantage from Friday’s ITT results. She leads the overall at the Tucson Bicycle Classic with only Sunday’s criterium race remaining. Bonhomme recently competed at the Tokyo Olympics as part of Canada’s Women’s Track Pursuit squad, finishing fourth.
