About
Sport is the most powerful way to get to know yourself.
Hey there, I’m Laury — professional Canadian cyclist, full-time student, and a lot of other things that you are about to discover.
I started cycling at the age of 12, without knowing what I was getting into, and how much it would impact my life. I would ride my bike twice a week with my local club in Gatineau, QC. I remember hating the way I looked with a helmet on, so I would let my hair down — terrible rookie mistake.
I did short track speed skating in the winter for about 3 years, before fully committing to road cycling when I began to get my first podiums. After finishing second at the Canadian Championships as a first year junior, I learned that I had been selected for the World Championships, something that had never even crossed my mind when I first entered the sport. At only 16 years old, I travelled all the way to the UK with the heaviest suitcase in the world to do my first ever big race. I never stopped travelling from then, and I definitely improved my packing skills.

Yes, I’m Canadian, mais je suis québécoise avant tout! I grew up in Masson-Angers, a small town not so far from Gatineau, Quebec. I’m proud to have French as my first language, but I do use English on a regular basis, since my partner only speaks English. We did have some issues at first, but I’m definitely more fluent now. I met Carson on a group ride, through some common friends. My first date with him was probably one of the most embarrassing moments of my life. We went on an easy ride together, and I crashed on a bike path like a newb. Believe it or not, he still wanted to see me again, and he’s now my best friend, my mentor, my travelling partner, and of course, my favorite person in the world♡

As a young Canadian rider, flying over to Europe seemed to be the right move to step-up my career once my junior years were over. I had the chance to get some experience overseas with a former Canadian UCI team, but those opportunities are now rare for the next generation of young female riders. Finding a team in Europe is always a hard process, and I’m grateful for the people who helped me successfully get where I am today. I’m proud to be part of the Komugi Grand-Est family, and I’m excited to see it grow along with me.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve always wanted to become a vet. I think it has to be the thing I asked for the most every time I had to make a wish. That’s why I’ve always put a lot of work into my studies, and I expect nothing less than to excel in everything I do. School taught me hard work, and cycling pushed me to my limits. I’ve learned to deal with both, and the pressure I put on myself to succeed made me how I am today. I slowly continue to pursue my academic goal, where there might be some deviations along the way, but I still keep my dream in mind. It’s definitely not easy, but I’m up for the challenge.

Cycling’s taught me discipline, resourcefulness, hard work, open-mindeness, and above all, the power of community.
I wouldn’t be where I am today without the beautiful people who have always supported me from near and far in the simple desire to give back to local youth. I’m proud to say that I come from a strong cycling community, and if you are here today, you’re part of it as well. Thank you for sharing your precious time with me.
