Mike Woods is the first Canadian to score victories in La Route d'Occitanie. Fourfold: stage 3 winner, new leader, best climber, and points leader. On the final steep climb on top of Les Angles in the Pyrennes, he attacked Carlos Rodriquez (Ineos) and soloed to victory. Woods is set for the upcoming Tour de France on July 1-24.
"It is great to see the team performing in different races at the moment. Jakob Fuglsang is doing great, I am proud to be the first Canadian to win in this race. We will do everything to keep the jersey and win this race. The team has a good chance."
-Mike Woods
