ALONZO Greaves won the feature 30-lap George Cumberbatch Memorial Cycle circuit race yesterday, but Continental Wheelers’ Geron Williams dominated the day’s proceedings with two victories and a second place finish in the senior category.Greaves rode intelligently to win the open 30-lap event of Williams and at the same time won two of the ten prime prizes that were up for grabs.
Williams who finished second won one of the ten primes, while Orville Hinds took two of the primes in placing third.
Raynauth `Obeah Man’ Jeffrey who finished fourth won four primes, while Raul Leal and Paul DeNobrega placed fifth and sixth respectively.
The other prime prize was won by Shaquile Agard.
Earlier in the day, Williams won the five-lap race for categories one to three riders. Second was Marlon `Fishy’ Williams, while Paul DeNobrega placed third.
Geron Williams also won the eight-lap Win and Out event ahead of Orville Hinds and Marlon `Fishy’ Williams, respectively.
In the feature event, Raymond Newton went to the front from the start, but his lead was short lived as Jeffrey and Agard overtook him and led for another two laps before being joined by Geron Williams, Greaves and Orville Hinds.
Together the leaders worked in tandem and extended their lead, but with eight laps remaining, Agard was dropped from the leading bunch and dropped out of contention.
After 10 laps, Hinds led the pack that was travelling at a terrific pace but his efforts to establish a lead never bore fruit as Jeffrey and Geron Williams both took turns in setting the pace.
At the bell lap, Hinds surged to the front once again and coming for the finish, Geron Williams flew past him, but Greaves drew up alongside Williams and went ahead with approximately 10 metres remaining.
In the win and out event, there were 33 starters and when the first bell sounded after five laps were completed, Delroy Hinds led the pack, but coming for the finish, Robin Persaud led the pack round the final turn at Camp Street into the straights.
However, Geron Williams went into overdrive and flew past him and won comfortably, while Persaud placed second and Marlon `Fishy’ Williams third.
