United We Stand cyclist Briton John, coincidentally defending champion of the Beacon 40-Mile Road Race, stormed to victory yesterday morning to retain his title, as he was followed in a 2-6 formation by teammates Aaron Newton, youngster Alexander Leung, Evolution’s Christopher Griffith, Segun Hubbard, and Andre ‘Padlock’ Green.

Briton John faced little to no challenges and stormed to victory in an hour and a half. In the other categories, Alexander Newton was the number one juvenile, while Julio Melville was the first mountain biker.

The Master’s U-50 saw heated competition, with Segun Hubbard edging Robin Persaud to the finish line.

Meanwhile, rising star Alexander Leung ruled the junior category, with Sidney Sidwell and Daniel Jiang settling for second and third, respectively.

Aeon ‘Dumb Boy’ Jackson cleaned up the master’s O-50 category, relegating Mark Spencer and Junior Niles to second and third, respectively. The only females, Abigail Jeffrey and Syesha Sumner, came in first and second, respectively, in their race. The next race is on February 18th and will feature Guyana’s best cyclists.
