The Quebec race is tomorrow while Montreal's is this Sunday. It is the first time that two North American races have been added to the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) ProTour. Cannondale is a premium brand of the Cycling Sports Group, a division of Dorel Industries (TSX: DII.B, DII.A).\n"I'm thrilled to have won the 5th Giro d'Italia title for Cannondale. I've trained hard, and I am determined to give it my all in Canada! I'm delighted to be coming to Montreal. From what I have heard it is a great city for cyclists and I look forward to experiencing this first hand," commented Basso.\n\nBasso's Road Racing Tips:\n\nInspired by the Grand Prix Cycliste de Montréal and de Quebec, road racing is easier to get into then you may think. Here are five tips from Ivan Basso, recent winner of the Giro d'Italia.\n\n\n >\n\n\nAbout The Bike\n\nThe Cannondale SuperSix is the lightest, stiffest carbon road frame in Cannondale's line of bicycles, boasting the ultimate in pedaling efficiency, super comfort and refined handling. New carbon-fabrication methods shave the complete frame weight to only 900 grams in a 56 cm size, 150 grams lighter than earlier SuperSix models.\nThe frame construction boasts a monocoque front triangle for the best possible performance from each tube. Separate seat and chain stay layups are mitered and then overwrapped to front triangle for maximum stiffness. The absence of lugs achieves a lighter frame weight without losing power transfer, while retaining the unique "Cannondale feel".\n\nProfile\n\nDorel Industries Inc. (TSX: DII.B, DII....
