Course
The course consisted of 15 laps a 12 km circuit. During the International Cycling Union's visit in 2009, they ranked the course as "demanding" from a technical point of view as Québec City is very hilly, and "exceptional" for the beauty of its setting.
This circuit was well-suited for climbers and those who are used to steep descents. The finish was on an uphill climb.
