Maggie Coles‑Lyster delivered a thrilling performance to win the elite women’s road race at the Canadian National Championships in Saint‑Georges, Quebec, finishing with a fierce bunch sprint to secure her second national road race title.

The 27‑year‑old from Maple Ridge, British Columbia, has enjoyed a standout season following her recovery from iliac artery surgery, adding this national crown to her first professional victory at the Tour Down Under in January.

Coles‑Lyster sprinted ahead of Alexandra Volstad of EF Education‑Oatly, who took both second and the U23 title, while Movistar’s Olivia Baril completed the podium. Defending champion Alison Jackson missed the podium by a narrow margin, coming in fourth.

Reflecting on her win, Coles‑Lyster described the moment as “amazing,” underscoring what it means to return to top form after facing serious medical setbacks earlier in her career.

Her victory underscores the depth and dynamism of Canadian women’s cycling, and it adds another defining moment to a season that has already seen her make a significant comeback and make her mark in the professional peloton.
