John and Jeffrey power to Time-Trial wins

Raynauth Jeffrey

Storming rides from Briton John and Denise Jeffrey sealed victories in the men’s and women’s Time-Trial Championships yesterday on the Linden Highway with Ajay Gopilall powering to victory in the junior category.

With perennial Time-Trial champions, Raynauth Jeffrey and Claire Fraser-Green sitting out this year’s championships in protest of the current executive of the Guyana Cycling Federation, John and Jeffrey were able to add to their palmares.

John (29m.09s) who was the junior champion last year, produced a supreme effort as he raced across the line with a 26-second margin over his nearest challenger, Michael Anthony (29.35s) in the 20km solo trek.
