This year marks the 15th edition of the Tour de Delta, a race that has had many highlights over the first decade-and-a-half of its existence. Here are some of the more notable moments: Tour de Delta 2001 Victoria teen sensation Clare Hall-Patch and New Zealander Graeme Miller were the stars of the show at the inaugural Tour de Delta. Hall-Patch, 18, won the road race and hill climb, while the 40-year-old Miller topped the road race and criterium.
Tour de Delta 2005 Pennsylvanian Sarah Uhl was one the verge of making history in 2005, but the 21-year-old was denied by a two-time Canadian Olympian. Uhl, who won the hill climb and criterium, was looking to become the first rider to sweep all three races, but fell just short as she finished second to Lyn Bessette in the road race.
Tour de Delta 2006 Tsawwassen's Cam Evans was the omnium winner after strong finishes in all three races. The Symmetrics star was second in the road race and third in
the hill climb.
Tour de Delta 2008 There was an Olympic feel as Beijing-bound Svein Tuft won the inaugural prologue, while fellow Canadian Olympian Zach Bell won his second straight omnium.
Tour de Delta 2010 Ladner's Claire Cameron sprinted away from two Total Restoration teammates with 200 metres to
go to win the women's road race. On the men's side, David Veilleux from Quebec edged Tuft in both the criterium and the overall, while Bell was a convincing winner of the road race.
Tour de Delta 2012 The weekend featured six different winners, some of them, like Tuft in North Delta and Ryan Anderson in Ladner, were expected, but others were of the surprising variety.
Bellingham amateur Steve Fisher shocked the field by capturing the White Spot Road Race for his biggestever victory.
Tour de Delta 2013 Fisher repeated as champ in the first UCI-sanctioned White Spot Delta Road Race, while Anderson duplicated his 2009 feat by reaching the podium in all three races.
