Berbician, Romello Crawford drew first blood in this year’s Burnham Memorial Three-Stage Road Race yesterday, winning the first leg in front of his hometown fans that lined the streets.

The Trojan PSL standout took the top honours of the 46-mile first stage with a stunning solo victory after attacking late and holding off his breakaway mates.

In the blazing heat, he stopped the clock in a brisk 1hr: 46m.59s for the event which started at Springlands and ended in New Amsterdam.
