Mercredi 14 août. Dernier jour de vacances pour moi. Je termine en beauté: sortie d’entrainement prévue avec David Veilleux (Europcar) du côté de Lévis, question de faire une petite interview avec lui. La sortie sera finalement annulée, fraicheur (12 degrés), pluie et vent étant de la partie, mais David et moi nous sommes tout de même rencontrés pour l’entrevue, alors qu’il se rendait au 3e chrono d’une série régionale qui porte son nom.

AS well as providing confirmation of Chris Froome’s position as Tour de France favourite, the 2013 Dauphine demonstrated that slowly but surely Europcar’s 25 year-old French Canadian David Veilleux is moving towards the highest levels of the sport. We spoke to him at the end of last season after he won the highly desirable Italian semi-classic, the Tre Valli Varesine; but on the first stage of France’s second biggest race he took his first World Tour win and then held the leader’s jersey for a further three stages. Veilleux has been a professional – initially on the North American scene – since 2007 when he turned pro with Jittery Joe’s at the age of 19. He was originally an off-road rider, with his first notable result being third in the 2002 Canadian debutant cyclo cross championship. By 2006 he was Canadian U23 time trial champion, a title he successfully defended three times. Then in 2008 he moved teams to Kelly Benefit Strategies, where he remained until the end of 2010. Stage wins in the Nature Valley and Tour of Pennsylvania stage races and a GC win in the Tour of Elk Grove were the highlights of his first year with Kelly. The following season saw strong performances on the world stage with tenth in the World U23 TT champs and a bronze medal in the Pan American U23 TT championship.
