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.

Le Château Frontenac is located in the heart of Old Québec and is the official hotel for cyclists of the 2010 Grand Prix Cycliste de Québec
