Oh Canada!
For the first time ever, a Canadian cyclist by the name of Ryder Hesjedal, won the very prestigious Giro D'Italia (one of three European Grand Tour events), outpacing and overtaking leader Joaqim Rodriguez in the final stages of the race.
No easy feat, as Hesjedal raced through the Italian landscape, over mountains and plains, and finally crossing the finish line in the city of Milan.
Hesjedal's best finish prior to having won was a sixth-place finish in the Tour de France in 2010.
Worldwide accolades came from former Tour de France multi-winner Lance Armstrong to Prime Minister Harper.
Not bad indeed. Definitely one great Ryder!
