TEAM Evolution registered their second consecutive win in as many starts, on Sunday, when Michael Anthony rode to victory in the Benjamin’s Cycle Sports Store-sponsored, and Flying Ace Cycle Club-organised 50-mile cycle road race in Berbice.Riding for the recently formed Team Evolution, Anthony returned a winning time of one hour 51 minutes 41 seconds to register the team’s second victory, following that of Marlon `Fishy’ Williams’ win on Saturday in the feature 35-lap event of the 22nd Ricks and Sari-sponsored programme in the National Park when the 2015 season commenced.

It has been reported that Anthony, after being sent on his way along with 42 other competitors from Benjamin’s Store in Fyrish, Corentyne, Berbice, attacked the pack and was followed by Paul DeNobrega, Alanzo Greaves, Mark Harris and Alonzo Ambrose.
