Star cyclists, Jamual John and Andre ‘Padlock’ Green will represent Guyana and their respective clubs in the Tobago International Cycling Classic which starts today.Back from a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic, this year’s Tobago Classic will be shortened to a three-stage road race as compared to its original five stages.
Over 200 cyclists from Europe, North America, South America, and the Caribbean will converge on the island for four days of intense racing along Tobago’s undulating roads.
Among the in-form wheelsmen, John (Team Foundation), and Green (Kaieteur Racing), who placed 1-2 in the Urban Benjamin Memorial Road Race last Sunday, will be gunning for spots on the podium.
According to the race organisers, division one to three cyclists will compete in the three-stage international race (main race) for continental, national and elite teams. Division two riders (masters, juniors, and women) will feature in a two stage race.
Division three contestants, recreational cyclists and mountain bikers, also compete in a two-stage race.
Also on the agenda once more is the fast and furious ‘Keirin’ sprint for invitational riders.
The race will celebrate its 34th edition this year.
