Some of the world’s most renowned cyclists convened in Montreal this weekend for the third edition Grand Prix Cycliste de Montréal.

One of the only two stops in North America for the International Cycling Union (UCI) World Tour, the event featured some of the biggest names in the sport, including Andy Schleck, Thomas Voeckler and Canadian Ryder Hesjedal, the most recent winner of the Giro D’Italia.

Hesjedal finished 23rd on Sunday, while former Norwegian champion and Team Sky member Lars-Petter Nordhaug claimed the top spot on the podium, earning his team’s 100th UCI event victory in the process.
