Tyrone Hamilton returned to his winning ways yesterday at the outer circuit of the National Park when he carted off the Open 12-lap event of the Alliance for Change-sponsored second annual cycle race meet in memory of Marlis Archer and Max Perreira.
After winning the categories one, two and three events earlier in the day it seemed as if Alonzo Greaves would once again make a clean sweep of his events.
But Hamilton had other plans for the rider who has been a nuisance for the other cyclists this year and sped to victory with Greaves second and Leer Nunes, third.
Christopher Holder, Ian `Dumb Boy’ Jackson and Tony Simone occupied the next three places.
The race started with the cyclists playing the usual cat and mouse game.
After being beaten by Greaves on Saturday in the inner circuit of the National Park, the other cyclists were determined not to have the young rider repeat his performance.
But it was Hamilton who proved up to the task and narrowly out sprinted Greaves in the sprint to the finish.
Greaves had earlier captured the category one, two and three, seven-lap event from Junior Niles with Robin Persaud, third, Nunes, fourth and Ossie Edwards fifth.
In the other races on the day, Enzo Mathews claimed the top spot in the junior event ahead of rival Geron Williams and Daniel Rambarran respectively while the juvenile category was won by Holder from Jason Pollydore.
Raymond Newton came out on top in the veterans under-50 event with Jackson second and Linden Blackman third while in the over 50 event, Aubrey Spencer took the top spot from Christopher Persaud and Walter Isaacs respectively.
Naomi Singh came back to defeat the improving Marcia Dick in the girls’ Open while Peter Peres claimed the BMX 6-9-years-old event from Crystal Blackman and Danish Ragubeer.
The BMX 9-12-years-old event was won by Orlando King with Tariq Baksh and Kear Joseph second and third respectively.
Ozia Mac Aulay was the winner in the BMX 12-14-years-old category with Kevin Edwards, second and Russell Humphrey third.
The mountain bike and upright category was won by Kester Croal with Jamaal Bentley second and Stephan Roberts third.
The presentation of prizes was done by a member of the Alliance for Change.
