Superstock biker Matthew Vieira has received a welcome boost, teaming up with Guyana’s newest telecommunication network, ENet ahead of the upcoming Guyana Motor Rcaing and Sports Club November 5 meet at the South Dakota curcuit.
With ENet in his corner, Vieira is confident of emerging victorious in the highly anticipated ENet Caribbean Clash-of-Champions meet.
The rider’s Yamaha R6, fully branded by ENet, was unveiled Friday night at Outside Lounge, MovieTowne, amid much fanfare and ceremony.
The unveiling was followed by an official tune up party hosted by Vieira, dubbed ‘Pit Stop’.
In a nod to his sponsor, Viera stated; “ENet has the fastest service right now and the best service, so it’s only fitting to have the best rider right now in Guyana…so that’s why they chose me”.
Vieira, who was joined by CEO of ENet, Vishok Persaud at the unveiling, is a firm favourite to win the Superstock category, having accumulated 118 points, 50 more than his nearest rival and cousin, Stephen Vieira.
Local counterparts Kevin Persaud (60), Heemand Boodhram (45) and Shem Chattersingh (20) round out the top five heading into the season-finale.
Despite being firmly in the lead, Vieira is determined not to be complacent and aims to finish top of the points table. He revealed that his sole aim is to repay ENet’s investment by copping the championship;
“That’s what we’re really working for,” he declared.
Fans can expect a hugely competitive showdown, with overseas riders expected from Barbados, Trinidad and Tobago, the United States of America and the United Kingdom.
Close to 20 bikers have registered for the event, which will get underway at 11am with rivalry in Group 4, Group 3, Group 2, Starlet Cup, Sports Tuner, Street Tuner and Superstock and Supersport bikes.
Pre-sale tickets are available at G$3,000 (adults) and G$1,000 (children).
