Geron Williams is once again the national road race champion.
Yesterday, the US-based wheelsman denied Raynauth Jeffrey a second senior road race title while claiming his second one in three years as he out sprinted the Team Coco’s standout at the end of an aggressive day of racing around the outer circuit of the National Park.
Jeffrey, who earned the Time-Trial trophy one day earlier, was one of the favourites of the 32-man star-studded starting peloton. But the tireless Williams, who won the gruelling event in 2014, had enough left in the tank to once again emerge winner of the annual flagship event of the Guyana Cycling Federation (GCF).
Jeffrey, who has been campaigning on the US circuit and in Colombia, was aggressive early on and in the latter part of the flat 75-mile (30 laps) course, sparking various moves in a fluid opening portion of the race.
