Tuft and Meier Racing at Yaletown Grand Prix

Svein Tuft and Christian Meier, team mates on the Garmin-Transition professional squad are scheduled to race the Yaletown Grand Prix. This Canada Day race features a technical and exciting 900-metre, 6-corner course for over an hour of high-speed racing past the loading bays and patios of Vancouver’s best-known neighbourhood.

Both riders are thrilled to be racing this fast charging race in their home province.
