Fly V Australia teammates Charles Dionne and Alessandro Bazzana went one-two on Saturday in stage 5 of the Tour de Beauce.
Otavio Bougarelli (Garneau) was third in the 125km Ville de Québec criterium.
A 14-man break formed up on the third lap and went on to build a lead that surpassed five minutes.
In the two last laps Cam Evans (Team Canada) launched a series of attacks, shelling William Munoz (Colombia) and Antonio Cruz (BMC). Derrick Saint-John (Garneau–Club Chaussure) took a dig at the bottom of the final hill, marked by Bazzana and Dionne, with the Canadian taking the win by a second over his teammate with Bougarelli third at 0:05.
Saint-John had to settle for fourth at nine seconds back, while the indefatigable Evans crossed ninth at 0:16
