GP de Montréal 2022
The 2022 Grand Prix Cycliste de Montréal also known as GP de Montréal will take place on 11 September 2022 in Canada. It will be the 11th edition of Grand Prix Cycliste de Montréal and the 37th event of the 2022 UCI World Tour.
The 2010 UCI ProTour's penultimate stop, it had its inaugural race on September 12, 2010. Simon Gerrans won both the Grand Prix Cycliste de Montréal and the Grand Prix Cycliste de Québec in 2014, becoming the first person to complete the "Laurentian Double" (Robert Gesink won in Montréal in 2010 and Québec in 2013).
The Route
The Grand Prix Cycliste de Montréal is a circuit-based race that is nearly one stage long and not a point-to-point race like many single-day competitions. On a 12.1 kilometer long course, the riders compete in 17 laps of racing. Côte Camilien-Houde with 1.8 km long and 8% average grade, Côte de la Polytechnique with 780 m long and 6% average grade, and Avenue du Parc with 560 m long and 4% average grade are the three climbs that must be completed on each lap of the circuit. On the Avenue du Parc, the finish line is often uphill.
The cumulative total climb is roughly 4000m, which is comparable to a mountain stage in the Tour de France although at a lower height.
