Dal-Cin rides into Tour of Alberta stage race as national champion
EDMONTON — Matteo Dal-Cin’s first race since he was crowned Canada’s road cycling champion will be on home pavement.
The 26-year-old from Ottawa will wear the Maple Leaf when the Tour of Alberta stage race opens Friday in Jasper.
“I haven’t got to actually race in it yet,” Dal-Cin said. “I don’t really know what it’s like to race in it. I’m looking forward to seeing what that feels like and representing my country in the Maple Leaf.”
Dal-Cin, who races professionally for U.S.-based Rally Cycling, outsprinted Marc-Antoine Soucy in his hometown to claim the Canadian men’s title in June.
