National cyclist, Jamual John took his talents to Linden on Sunday and emerged winner of the Albert Rose Memorial road race.
John won the gruelling 83-mile event ahead of a stacked field, besting the likes of fellow national riders, Curtis Dey and Walter Grant-Stuart who joined him on the podium.
Paul DeNobrega, Michael Anthony and Ajay Gopilall rounded out the top six rewarding positions in the fourth staging of the lucrative race.
The race which served as a warm up for the National Championships later this month, saw Warren ’40’ McKay taking the spoils in the U-45 category ahead of Paul Choo-Wee-Nam and Stephen Fernandes. Gopilall was the top junior.
John was rewarded handsomely to the tune of $52,000 for winning the race.
Dey, the reigning National Road Race Champions, pocketed $37,000 while former National Road Race champion, Grant-Stuart earned $27,000. The fourth, fifth and sixth place finishers, received $17,000, $12,000 and $10,000 respectively.
The race which was contested around the community of the Mining Town, was sponsored by the Rose Family and Clear Waters.
