The competitive racing season continues tomorrow with the staging of the second edition of ‘One Guyana’ Bartica Cycling Classic.
In what is gearing up to be a scorcher on the asphalt roads in the Region 7 town, the cyclists will unchain their competitive juices for lucrative cash prizes and trophies in the United We Stand Cycle Club organized event.
Set to roll off at 09:30am, the fixture is set to attract the nation’s best wheelsmen to the ‘Gateway to the Interior’.
Briton John who has dominated this season so far, winning the last three races, will be eager to defend his title won at the inaugural staging in 2019.
He will be a marked man in the peloton along with his namesake, Jamual John.
The Johns (no relation) have won all of the races staged during the season so far and will look to continue their dominance on the local circuit.
The likes of Romello Crawford, Chris Griffith, Robin Persaud, Alex Mendes, Curtis Dey and Aaron Newton will also be gunning for the top podium spot.
