SYDOR TOPS CANADA’S TOP 10 LIST
CanadianCyclist.com proudly announces the results of the poll regarding the Top 10 Canadian Cycling Achievements. Two weeks of voting saw thousands of Canadian Cyclist.com readers choose the top 10 individual accomplishments of Canadian cyclists from a list that included 25 notable athletic achievements.
This project was initiated by Rob Jones, CanadianCyclist.com editor. We compiled a list of almost 50 notable achievements by Canadian cyclists and then let our readers choose 25. The list contains some amazing accomplishments for a nation that is not known for its cycling.
Alison Sydor, Steve Bauer and seven other top 10 finishers topped the list. The top 10 lists also included Lori-Ann Muenzer (4th), who was recognized for her Olympic gold in Athens, Roland Green (7th), and Curt Harnett (9th) who were honored for his world record in Flying 200 Metre. This record has not been broken in more than ten years.

1. Alison Sydors wins three consecutive world titles (1994-1996).
2. Steve Bauer’s 1990 Tour de France, where he spent 10 Days in the Yellow Jersey.
