The name Brighton John will be remembered by Barticians for years to come following his historic win yesterday.
The United We Stand cyclist took a stunning solo victory on the asphalt of the Region 7 town by obliterating a field of the nation’s best bikers.
His first big win of the 2019 season coincidentally came in the first ever road race staged in ‘the gateway to the interior’. John made hay in the brilliant sunshine lapping all but six of the starters to take the top honours of the gruelling 35-lap (42 miles) event after two hours, 22 minutes and 52 seconds of intense racing.
