Briton John once again finished on the podium following stage two of the Jamaican Cycling Classic Montego Bay race yesterday.

One day after placing third in the initial stage, the United We Stand Cycle Club standout mirrored that achievement to finish behind Hasani Hennis of Anguilla who also won the initial stage. Hennis’ Team AVR Racing teammate, Edwin Sutherland of Barbados placed second yesterday. Akil Campbell, also of AVR Racing, who placed second in the first stage, finished fourth yesterday.

Today, the race concludes with the thrilling third and final stage. John, 23, will be looking to further climb the podium steps in the finale.

Hennis is leading overall with 46 points, John has 24, while Sutherland, who took the King of the Mountain prize yesterday, and his club mate, Campbell are on 17 apiece. Today’s final stage will be interesting as Hennis seeks to take the overall title but would be challenged by the young Guyanese.

John’s trip to Jamaica is sponsored in part by Alabama Trading, Bentley’s Bike Shop, Beacon Café, and the Professional Key Shop.
