– Burrowes hints at future route changes
Following a meeting with Director of Sports (DoS) Steve Ninvalle after more than 30 cyclists signed a petition in protest of a proposed change to the first leg of the Independence Three-Stage Road Race, Guyana Cycling Federation (GCF) President Horace Burrowes confirmed that the original route will be utilised.
The proposed change by the GCF will be set aside, according to Burrowes, who spoke with Stabroek Sport after the meeting and conceded that the failure to inform the National Sports Commission (NSC) of the initial change by the executive committee was simply an oversight on its behalf.
The GCF executives, who had met with Minister of Culture, Youth, and Sport Charles Ramson Jr. and the DoS Ninvalle prior to the NSC providing sponsorship to the tune of $3,000,000,.
