The 2026 national road championships finished up on Sunday with some crit titles up for grabs with the elite, under-23, junior and under-17 races for both men and women. Although most of the top pros opted not to race the elite men\u2019s race\u2014leaving it wide open\u2014the majority of the pros did go for it in the women\u2019s<\/a> race.<\/p>\n In the elite and under-23 women\u2019s race, it was Gatineau\u2019s Laury Milette (Team Abadie Magnan) who followed up her fifth from the road race with a superb win. She outkicked Nadiya Linde-Elmhirst (Milton Revolution Racing) in a sprint \u00e0 deux<\/em> just ahead of Kaitlyn Rauwerda (Cyclery Racing) who took bronze. Great ride for Rauwerda<\/a>, too, who had a bit of heartbreak at the recent gravel nationals that were cancelled.<\/p>\n In the men\u2019s race, St. Thomas, Ont.\u2019s Jayden McMullen (TaG Cycling Race Team) took the win. He recently finished second at the long-running Preston Street crit, so it was clear his speed was there. He beat Carl Truffer (Team Vittel N\u2019Side) and Philippe Jacob (Cannondale Echelon p\/b 4iiii).<\/p>\n In the junior and under-17 men\u2019s race, it was a clean sweep for Quebec. C\u00e9dric Fiset (EC Sports Experts) won over Antoine Desjardins (Quebec) and Leonard Mayrand (Quebec).<\/p>\nElite and under-23 women\u2019s and men\u2019s races<\/h2>\n
