TEAM COCO’s Alonzo Greaves chalked up his first victory of the 2015 cycle season when he won the feature 35-lap event of the Caribbean International Distributers Inc. (CIDI) sponsored 11-race cycle programme in the National park yesterday.

Greaves who returned a time of one hour14 minutes 28.97 seconds also copped three of the eight prime prizes that were up on offer.
Greaves, Orville Hinds, Raynauth Jeffrey, Hamzah Eastman and Christopher Holder broke from the pack after covering six laps and the quintet was never challenged again, instead, they lapped the chasing bunch with 10 laps remaining.
During their lead, the leaders interchanged the lead with Greaves leading after 18 laps were completed.
He held the lead at the completion of the 25th lap with Holder, Eastman, Jeffrey and Hinds close up respectively.
At the bell lap, Greaves surged ahead and led by two lengths to Holder with Eastman, Jeffrey and Hinds a further two lengths adrift.
With 150 metres from the finish line, Hinds attacked from the back, but Greaves responded and he was followed by Eastman, and the duo caught up with the Team Evolution cyclist (Hinds) and sailed past him in the final 60 metres from the finish line and Greaves went on to win ahead of Eastman.
Hinds had to settle for third while Jeffrey occupied the fourth spot and Holder and Robin Persaud finished fifth and sixth respectively.
Holder won two primes, while Jeffrey Hinds and Eastman won one each.
