The Race: Simon Gerrans has nicely bookended his 2014 season. In April he won Liège-Bastogne-Liège and today he took the Grand Prix Cycliste de Québec, another World Tour race. Gerrans had already won the Québec race in 2012.

Jan Bakelants, Tejay van Garderen and Jelle Vanendert were heading up the final hill to the finish, but were caught by the field.

Tom Dumoulin went early, too early to hold off a hard-charging Simon Gerrans. Gerrans made a clean win of it after suffering a late puncture that looked to derails his chances.
