The third leg of the Jagans Memorial Cycling Road Race which was slated to pedal off on Sunday (March 31) on the Essequibo Coast has been postponed.
According to the organisers, the Flying Ace Cycle Cub, the postponement of the final stage of the race is due to the sponsors of the event having other commitments on the same date.
“We are sorry to announce that the third stage of the Cheddi Jagan Memorial cycle road race which was scheduled to be on 31 March 2024 at Essequibo has been postponed. The sponsors of the event have indicated that, due to date clashes with another major activity, it has become necessary to host the event /race on a later date” a statement from the organisers read.
The new date for the third leg will be announced in the coming weeks.
United We Stand cyclist Briton John took the first and second legs of the race in dominant fashion. He won the first race over at West Demerara without a challenge and produced more of the same in the second leg in Berbice.
John soloed to victory in Berbice unchallenged in 3 hours 15 minutes 10 seconds, well ahead of his nearest challenger Curtis Dey who came over three minutes behind the race winner.
The Jagans Memorial Cycling events are held annually in honour of the late former Presidents of Guyana, Dr. Cheddi Jagan and his wife Janet Jagan.
