Grand Prix Cycliste de Montréal

The Grand Prix Cycliste de Montréal is a one-day professional bicycle road race held in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

The Grand Prix Cycliste de Montréal and the Grand Prix Cycliste de Québec, held two days earlier, are collectively known as the "Laurentian Classics".

[1] In 2014, Simon Gerrans became the first to achieve the "Laurentian Double" by winning both the Grand Prix Cycliste de Québec and the Grand Prix Cycliste de Montréal in the same year.

The riders race for 18 laps on a 12.3 kilometres (7.6 mi) long circuit.

The race has 4,842 metres (15,886 ft) of cumulative climbing, similar to that found in a mountain stage in the Tour de France, though at a lower altitude.
