Team Coco’s standout, Jamal John came out on top of a five-man sprint to win the seventh annual PowerAde 50-mile road race to secure his fourth win of the season at West Demerara yesterday.

John bettered Team Evolution’s Paul DeNobrega by a bike length for the race which started at Wales, proceeded to Parika and returned to Schoonord for the finish. The 20-year old wheelsman who also pocketed two sprint prizes, completed the trek in a brisk one hour, 57 minutes and 16 seconds.

DeNobrega’s club mate, Akeem Wilkinson completed the podium about three bike lengths back.

Team Alanis’ Alonzo Ambrose finished fourth while riders from the Berbice based Trojan Cycling Club, Jason Cameron and Romello Crawford filled out the top six rewarding positions.
