The various winners with their prizes

JAMUAL John outsprinted his fellow cyclists in an exciting and extremely close finish to pedal off the 2020 season, which took place Saturday morning at the inner circuit of the National Park, in Georgetown with the 27th Ricks and Sari-sponsored event.

Although there were several races carded for the day, it was the main event, a 35-laps School Boys and Invitational, which had the crowd in a frenzy. In what was literally a photo finish, John was able to win the opener by inches ahead of Michael Anthony. Paul De Nobrega, Kemuel Moses and Christopher Joseph, the third to fifth place finishers respectively, were close behind.

Overall, John clocked 1:19:07.63.
Marcus Keiler and Anthony ended the event with two prime prizes each, while there were one each for DeNobrega, Ajay Gopilall and Stephano Husbands.
