2025 Canadian Cyclist of the Year Awards

Welcome to the 29th annual Canadian Cyclist of the Year Awards! Once again, it is time for our readers to cast their votes in four categories:

Canadian Cyclist of the Year - Female
Canadian Cyclist of the Year - Male
Best Individual Performance - Male

Best Individual Performance - Female

The rider voting procedure reflects the fact that it can be difficult to select just one athlete to vote for. Instead, you will be able to rank your preferences, with the top rank receiving 5 points, the second receiving 4 points, etc. The athlete (and performance) receiving the highest average "grade" wins. For Best Individual Performance we will pick three.

From your votes we will select the top Canadian Cyclists of 2025.

Question Title
