THE National Sports Commission’s (NSC) Annual Mashramani 11-race cycle programme is billed for tomorrow and will be held around the inner circuit of the National Park, commencing at 09:00hrs.

The feature 35-lap event promises to be a thrilling one as Guyana’s top pedal-pushers are expected to face the starter.
Last year’s winner of this feature event, Junior Niles, will have his work cut out if he is to make a successful defence of his title.
Niles, who clocked one hour 17 minutes 36.45 seconds last year, will be coming up against Team Evolution’s Marlon `Fishy’ Williams, Orville Hinds and Michael Anthony, as well as Alanzo Greaves, Christopher Holder and Raynauth Jeffrey among others.
Williams won the 2015 season opener at the same venue and over the same distance two Saturdays ago, while Anthony followed up with a victory the following day in the first road race of the 2015 season, winning the Benjamin’s Cycle Sports Store-sponsored 50-mile event in Berbice.
Holder, who seemed to have come into form, rode intelligently last Sunday to win the annual NSC 40-mile road race in the West Demerara area.
Anthony is the current defending champion of the Juveniles 10-lap event and is almost certain to make a successful defence of that title tomorrow. He returned 22 minutes 45 seconds last 6ear.
By virtue of winning the overall 35-lap race last year, Niles is also the defending champion of the Veterans five-lap race. Last year he clocked 12 minutes 31 seconds.
Clyde Jacobs is the defending champion of the five-lap race for Mountain Bikers while Romelo Crawford will be defending his Boys and Girls 12-14 years three-lap title.
Director of Sport Neil Kumar is expected to present the prizes to the respective winners.
