The Québec City and Montréal Grands Prix Cyclistes are the only North American stops on the UCI WorldTour. The 5^th edition is shaping up to be a nail-biter with 8 of the top 15 riders in the UCI WorldTour general rankings and 6 of the 15 top finishers in the last Tour de France slated to compete. The Canadian and Québec cyclists entered in the races include Hugo Houle(AG2R LA MONDIALE), Antoine Duchesne (TEAM EUROPCAR) and Christian Meier (ORICA GREENEDGE).

Quebecor partners with a number of other major cycling events in Québec, including the Grand défi Pierre Lavoie, the Granfondo Garneau-Québecor and the Tour CIBC Charles-Bruneau. Quebecor is also the proud sponsor of the Garneau-Québecor pro team, which competes on the UCI Continental tour.
