T&T sends Browne to the cycling World Cup

PORT-OF-SPAIN, Trinidad, (CMC) – Trinidad and Tobago cyclist Kwesi Browne will represent his country at the third leg of the UCI (International Cycling Union) Cycling World Cup in Guadalajara, Mexico this weekend.

Browne has replaced top cyclist Njisane Phillip who is recovering after spending a week at a medical centre in California, USA.
Phillip was admitted after complaining of stomach pains and an examination has revealed swollen kidneys due to the blockage of his urinal tract.
Browne, 20, will replace Phillip in the men’s sprint and keirin events at the meet, which pedals off today.
Browne will also be in action tomorrow in the keirin, followed by the sprint on Sunday.
His participation allows Phillip to compete at the UCI World Track Cycling Championships in Colombia which starts February 26.
Phillip, who won sprint silver at leg one of the world cup in England last November, was discharged from the medical centre last Saturday.
He also competed at leg two in Aguascalientes, Mexico, breaking his own national record in the sprint, but finished eighth overall.
