Celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the Montreal 1974 World Cycling Championships

Fifty years ago, Montreal hosted the World Cycling Championships, an event that forever marked the history of sports in Montreal.

Today, we invite you to relive these historic moments through the exclusive accounts of Gervais Rioux, France Richer, and Louis Rome, three figures who had the chance to experience this unforgettable competition. They share with us their vivid memories of those days when Montreal became the beating heart of world cycling.

As we look to the future, we invite you to join us in September 2026 for a new chapter in this great adventure, with the UCI Road World Championships in Montreal.
