One day after placing seventh on the inner circuit of the National Park, Walter Grant-Stuart took his talents to West Demerara yesterday and sprinted away with the spoils of the Malta Supreme 40-mile road race.
The ‘one armed wheelsman stopped the clock in one hour, 42 minutes and five seconds for the eighth edition of the event which started at Schoonord, proceeded to Bushy Park and returned to the point of origin for the finish.
Grant-Stuart who has aspirations of medaling at a Paralympics one day, led break away mates, Marcus Keiler and Deeraj Garbarran onto the podium while Adelie Hodge, Romello Crawford and Paul DeNobrega filled out the top six rewarding positions of the 31-man peloton.
The differently abled former national road race champion recorded his first win since the calendar flipped to 2019.
Other categorical winners yesterday included Jason Sampson (junior), Junior Niles (veteran under 50), Shane Bourne (Mountain Bike) and Denise Jeffrey (Female).
The cycling season continues on Easter Sunday with another road race. Stabroek Sport will keep readers updated with that event in a subsequent article.
