By Michelangelo Jacobus
Guyana’s leading cyclist, Briton John, has further cemented his budding legacy in the sport by becoming only the fourth Guyanese cyclist to medal in the Men’s Elite 155km Road Race at the Caribbean Cycling Championships yesterday.
Additionally, John has given Guyana its first medal since 2009, when Tony Simon similarly won a bronze medal in the same event in Barbados.
Racing along a route on the Heroes Highway, East Bank Demerara, day two of the championships served up a hotly contested Men’s Elite Road Race under blistering sunshine.
