MARLON ‘Fishy’ Williams rode off with the 35-lap feature event yesterday when the 12th annual DeSinco Trading Youth Cycling Programme, which is organised by National coach Hassan Mohamed, was staged on the National Park Circuit.
Fishy was the victor in a time of one hour, 14 minutes, 59 seconds after he took advantage of Enzo Matthews’ blunder near the finish line.
Matthews was the leader with only 30 metres left in the event and raised his hands in celebration and that is when Williams stormed past him after being in pursuit. As such Williams claimed top honour ahead of Matthews who had to settle for second best.
Neil Reece was third while Rastaff Oselmo won a prime prize and finished in fourth place. Six prime prizes went to fifth-place finisher Walter Grant-Stuart, while one prime went to Junior Niles who pedalled in sixth.
