I’ve covered the Tour of Alberta the previous two years shooting for Corus Entertainment but this year was a bit different. For the 2016 race I collaborated with Rally Cycling(formerly Optum Pro Cycling) to do a piece on their Acura RDX Support vehicle on behalf of Acura Connected. I got some insight on team strategies and even got to ride in the RDX support vehicle as we chased race leader Evan Huffman for the stage 4 time trial.
