GCF national c/ships set to conclude this weekend

The elite male cyclists will take centre stage this weekend when the Guyana

Cycling Federation bring the curtain down on this year’s National Championships.

This year’s event which started last weekend with the crowning of the junior, juvenile, female and veteran road race champions, will climax tomorrow with the road race for the nation’s top wheelsmen. In the peloton will be Jamual and Briton John (no relation) who have both returned with sublime form from the US circuit to match wheels with the local standouts for the coveted title of National Senior Road Race Champion.

Jamual and Briton have recorded several podium finishes during their annual campaign up north and will start as favourites and marked men when the race gets underway from 07:30hrs in Linden.  Defending road race champion, Romello Crawford will also be among the favorites for the title.

However, prior to the road race, the Time-Trial for all categories will commence this morning from 08:00hrs at the KK Gas Station, Mahaica Circuit.

Alex Leung (juvenile), Clavecia Spencer (female), Robin Persaud (veteran) and Aaron Newton (junior) were crowned the National Road Race champions in their respective categories last weekend.
