As a kid, Mathias Guillemette would get stuffed into the back seat of his parents car, wedged between a cooler and luggage, bikes all around, his older brother crammed in there too on their way to a Quebec race anywhere from three to seven hours away from their home in Trois-Rivières. There was also time on the velodromes in Bromont and Milton, Ont. During the past few years, Guillemette's competed in some of the world's top track cycling events, including the Track Champions League, where he's won an elimination race, and the Paris Olympics.  This year, Guillemette's cycling career is taking a new direction. He's landed a spot on the Tudor Pro Cycling continental-level development team. At 23, he's a senior rider with some teammates four years younger than him. In this episode of the Canadian Cycling Magazine Podcast, you'll find out how Guillemette, with a little tip from another track cyclist turned roadie, got on to the Swiss team and how his skills on the track might translate to success on the road with the devo team and the ProTeam.This episode of the Canadian Cycling Magazine Podcast is supported by MS Bike.

With the 2025 WorldTour season just around the corner, Liam and Simon are joined by Dan Bigham, Red Bull-BORA-Hansgrohe's head of engineering, to discuss what the big tech trends might be.   Starting with the question of whether there's any low hanging aero fruit left to pick, the conversation moves onto the ongoing controversy over the relationship between speed and safety in professional bike racing.   The trio then discuss the UCI Hour Record, whether breaking the 60km mark is possible and how it could be done.   Wrapping up, Liam and Simon turn the lens on themselves and ask whether Dan thinks there's anything cycling media could do to help audiences understand complicated topics and cut through marketing claims.

How long will Michael Woods continue to race? What was it like for Michael Leonard in the breakaway in Montreal? Is Derek Gee giving up birding?Each year, the Grands Prix Cyclistes de Québec et de Montréal bring the world's best riders to Canada. In 2024, mixing it up with Tadej Pogačar, Biniam Girmay and Julian Alaphilippe, were most of the top Canadian athletes, as well as some of the nation's notable up-and-comers.Derek Gee discusses his development as a rider. He had his breakout in 2023 at the Giro d'Italia. This year, he won a stage of the Critérium du Dauphiné and finished third overall. At his Tour de France debut, he was ninth in the GC. The rider from Osgoode, Ont., seems to be able to approach his races with a relaxed, “let's see how this goes” attitude. But as he's progressing in the sport, is pressure starting to mount?Michael Woods, 37,  is in the latter stages of his cycling career. Earlier this year, as a yet-to-be-diagnosed bacterial infection troubled him, he was considering retiring sooner than later. But things seem to have turned around for the rider who came to the Montreal GP in his national champion's jersey. For Woods, Montreal is one of the most important races on the calendar. Also, there's an event coming to that city that might keep Woods in the pro ranks just a little bit longer. That same event is a big motivation for Woods's teammates Hugo Houle and Guillaume Boivin, too.A bunch of riders made their debuts at the GPCQM. Michael Leonard, from Oakville, Ont., was signed to Ineos Grenadiers in 2022 at the age of 18. The past two years have had some ups and downs, but Leonard feels he's been making some significant progress since this past summer. In August, he won the prologue at the Tour de l'Avenir. In Montreal, he got into the breakaway. His 156-km ride was another breakthrough. In Quebec City, two other young Canadians did some serious time ahead of the bunch. In a special GPCQM episode of the Canadian Cycling Magazine Podcast, find out what it was like for Jonas Walton and Félix Hamel in the Grand Prix Cycliste de Québec breakaway.
