In an extraordinary display of speed, power and stamina, Team Coco’s Jamaul John rode wire-to-wire to emerge victorious in yesterday’s 17th annual Victor Macedo Memorial road race in a thrilling two-man sprint finish.
John won the gruelling but lucrative 60-mile fixture (25 laps) which was staged around the outer circuit of the National Park, in two hours, 48 minutes and 46 seconds. Testament to his class and dominance on the saddle on a cool Sunday afternoon, the 22-year-old also carted off three of the eight sprint prizes during the event which attracted in excess of 35 semi-professional bikers.
The Team Coco’s standout led breakaway mate, Brighton John (winner of five primes) and Curtis Dey (last year’s winner) onto the podium.
