Road racing is intense stuff | Road racing is intense stuff. It starts with sacrifice and determination parlayed into tactical moves across the track. It’s marked by marathon training schedules, high-torque diets of diesel and kale extract, aerospace-grade technology ingrained into bikes built to catapult riders to the podium, head-to-toe spandex and, of course, mastering the intricacies of hair-removal below the knees.

But, the real successes always lie in the shortcuts. In this edit of the Ekoi/Devinci pro team at Mardi Cycliste de Lachine, Canada’s biggest Criterium series, the virtues of the road less traveled are evident. Sandwiched between start gun and finish line Devinci’s “road cycling” team delivers everything from wall rides to skate-park session to stream dipping and chick hopping, all the while still finishing first.
