The cycling fraternity has been plunged into deep shock and mourning following the untimely death of former national rider, Jude Bentley who died in a fatal accident during early morning training yesterday on the Rupert Craig Highway.
Bentley was 41.
According to reports, Bentley was killed after he was struck from behind, in the vicinity of the Russian Embassy turn at around 5:00hrs by a Toyota Land Cruiser, reportedly driven by Rear Admiral (Ret’d) and former Chief of Staff of the Guyana Defence Force, Gary Best.
Bentley, who only on Friday signed up to rejoin Carlton Wheelers Cycle Club, died in the club’s racing kit.
